Swan Among Lotus Flowers Colouring

A swan glides among three open lotus flowers and broad round floating leaves. Its elegant neck rises above the blossoms, while the layered petals and pond ripples add gentle detail around the bird. The generous flower shapes create room for soft colour blends, and the swan remains the main feature of the scene. How to colour: Leave the swan white, shade its lower feathers pale blue-grey, and colour its bill orange with a black base. Use rose pink at the lotus petal tips, pale pink nearer their bases and golden yellow in the centres. Colour the leaves medium green with darker veins and the pond soft aqua. Blend from light to dark with gentle overlapping pencil strokes, following each petal's curve. Keep the water pale so the white swan and pink blossoms stand out clearly.
