Butterflies in a Flower Garden

Five butterflies flutter separately above a lively flower garden filled with layered roses, upright tulips, round-centred daisies and trumpet-shaped lilies. Each butterfly has a different open wing pattern and plenty of clear space around it, while the organised flower groups fill the lower part of the page without hiding any insects. How to colour: Give each butterfly its own palette: orange and black, turquoise and violet, yellow and coral, pink and purple, and blue with lime-green details. Colour the roses crimson and blush pink, the tulips red, orange and golden yellow, the daisies white with sunny centres, and the lilies coral or lavender with deep pink stamens. Use emerald, jade and lime green across the stems and leaves. Colour the flowers first with strokes following each petal, then match opposite wing panels carefully and add darker tones where petals or wings overlap.
