Two lovebirds touch beaks on a branch inside a heart-shaped frame of flowers and leaves, with Happy Valentine’s Day written above. Detailed — best for teens and adults.
Two lovebirds can carry gentle tropical color without losing the Valentine mood: try peach faces with green, turquoise, or soft blue bodies, and make their touching beaks a clear coral. The heart-shaped frame should alternate roses, smaller blossoms, and leaves in crimson, blush, cream, and sage. A pale background inside the frame helps the birds remain the living center of the wreath.
Repeat flower colors in a rhythm around the frame instead of grouping all the reds in one place. Shade each bird from a darker back to a paler breast, and leave a tiny highlight in both eyes. Because the linework is detailed, colored pencils are ideal for separating neighboring petals and preserving the delicate beak-to-beak point.
