Wildflower Meadow Full of Bees and Blooms Coloring Page

The composition splits cleanly in two, and that is what makes this sheet work. Below, a dense band of meadow crowds the bottom two thirds: open faced daisies at the front, tall grasses and narrow seed heads behind them, thin stems crossing at every angle, and smaller buds tucked into the gaps. Above, the sky stays almost entirely white with ten small bees scattered through it. All the labor sits in the lower half, and the upper half gives the eye somewhere to rest. Treat the meadow in layers rather than flower by flower. Color the front daisies first, then choose a mid tone for the grasses behind them and a paler one for the stems at the very back, and the whole band gains depth without any blending. The line work down there is fine and closely spaced, so colored pencils are the right tool. Leave the sky bare or brush a single light wash across it. Anything stronger up there will compete with the meadow and flatten the picture out.
