Iris Garden Colouring Page

Two elegant irises lift their upright petals above long leaves as a tiny dragonfly glides through the garden. Choose purple, blue, white, yellow, peach, or two-tone petals, then add yellow or orange to the fuzzy beards. Use layered greens for the sword-shaped leaves, bright colours on the dragonfly, and a pale blue touch near the cloud. Colour the upright petals first and the drooping petals second, following every graceful curve with smooth controlled strokes. 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—Iris—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
