Two oversized blossoms with clustered stamens open beside buds and smooth oval leaves. Medium — great for kids.
Two oversized blossoms can carry a dramatic palette: magenta and crimson, or violet deepening to purple at the petal bases. The clustered stamens are the jewelry — color them gold with tiny orange or rust tips, and they’ll glitter against the petals. Smooth oval leaves take a glossy green, darker along their center lines.
Big blooms look bigger with a background that steps back: fill the space behind them with one deep, even tone — midnight blue or forest green — using light, layered strokes so no paper sparkle shows through. Save the stamens for last and press a dot of white gel pen onto a few tips for pollen-bright highlights.
