Areca Palm Fruit Colouring

A slender areca palm grows in a warm village garden with a ringed trunk, neat crownshaft and arching feather leaves. Below the leaves are branching sprays of tiny scented flowers and a bunch of oval areca fruits, changing from green to orange-red as they ripen. A fruit bat flies past to show how animals can visit tropical trees. Colour the trunk grey-brown, the crownshaft and leaves in layered greens, the flowers cream, and the fruits green, yellow, orange and red. Use gentle strokes for the bat and simple plants, leaving plenty of white space so the palm, flowers and fruit stay easy to see and fun to colour.
