Dandelion with Seeds

"Dandelion with Seeds" invites you to color at a relaxed pace. Nature motifs are especially calming. The organic shapes of flowers, leaves, and landscapes encourage layering different shades. Feel free to look up a photo of the real subject first, but it's not required.

The yellow flower looks most beautiful in bright yellow with orange tones in the center – use colored pencils for fine transitions. The seedhead needs delicate gray tones and white for the floating seeds to preserve its lightness. The stem and leaves look elegant in various shades of green, from dark to light green. The fine hairs of the seedhead can be highlighted with a very sharp pencil or even white ink. Keep the background light so the details don't get lost.
