Lotus Blossom on Still Water in a Square Glass Panel Coloring Page

A lotus opens at the center of a square panel in three clear layers. An outer ring of broad pointed petals spreads wide, a second layer rises inside it, and a single closed bud shape stands at the top. Every petal is one unbroken area with a crease line down its length, which makes the flower quick to fill and easy to grade from layer to layer.

Under the blossom a wide lily pad floats flat, drawn as one large rounded shape with a notch cut into the front, and a thick stem drops from it to the bottom of the panel. The water below runs in long horizontal bands that cross the full width, broken only where the stem passes through.

A plain double frame closes the panel, offset slightly so it reads as glass set into a channel.

Work the petals light at the tips and deeper toward the center and the flower gains depth with no shading at all. Keep the lily pad darker than the blossom, then take the water bands cooler and deeper as they drop toward the base. Markers handle every part of this sheet comfortably because the shapes are large. Twenty minutes is usually enough.
