Silver Thatch Palm Colouring

A silver thatch palm grows in a rocky Cayman Islands coastal woodland, with a slim trunk and round fans that are green above but silvery underneath. Fragrant white flowers and clusters of purple-black fruits hang between the leaves while a small island bird looks for berries. Colour some leaf surfaces fresh green and others pale silver, blue-grey or very light green to show the two sides. Use tan-grey on the trunk, cream on the flowers and deep purple on the fruit. Give the bird natural island colours and add turquoise sea, pale rocks and low shrubs. Broad, gentle strokes will keep the shining fan leaves airy and bright.
