Nasturtium Garden Colouring

A playful Nasturtium plant trails across the garden with wide five-petalled flowers, round shield-shaped leaves, curled stems, and a happy caterpillar. Try orange, scarlet, yellow, coral, or creamy white on the flowers, adding deeper red lines from the centre toward the outer petals. Colour the round leaves in bright or blue-green shades, keep the curling stems green, and give the caterpillar a repeating two-colour pattern. Follow the fine petal lines outward, then colour each round leaf in sections between its radiating veins so the plant stays neat and lively. Begin with the biggest spaces and use gentle pressure for pale colour, then press a little more firmly for bold details. Young artists can use one solid shade in each section, 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—Nasturtium—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
