Camellia Blossom Colouring

A beautiful camellia opens its smooth layered petals beside a plump bud while a butterfly visits the garden. Try rosy pink, red, creamy white, soft yellow, or striped pink-and-white petals, with golden yellow on the central stamens. Colour the glossy oval leaves in two greens, give the butterfly a matching pattern, and keep the cloud pale. Begin at the centre and follow each broad petal curve outward, using deeper colour where one petal slips behind another. Begin with the biggest shapes and use gentle pressure for pale colour, then press a little more firmly for strong details. Young artists can fill each section with one solid shade, while older children can blend two related colours, add dots or stripes, and draw extra garden details in the open space. As you work, say the flower name—Camellia—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
