Butterfly on a Sunflower Colouring Page

A single butterfly rests across the broad seed centre of a large sunflower, with all four patterned wings open and its six delicate legs touching the flower. The sunflower fills the page with a ring of detailed petals, a tall stem and two broad leaves, while a simple ground line keeps the scene open and easy to colour. How to colour: Use turquoise and sky blue on the upper wings, blend violet into the lower wings and add coral pink or sunny yellow to the round markings. Colour the butterfly body charcoal with narrow pale-blue bands and keep tiny white highlights near the eyes. Make the sunflower petals golden yellow with orange near their bases, the seed centre warm brown with dark chocolate dots, and the leaves emerald and lime green. Lay down light pencil layers first, follow each wing section with smooth strokes, shade petals from the centre outward and deepen green along the leaf veins.
