Butterfly on a Flower

Here a pretty butterfly has landed on a large blooming daisy, its wings half open to show patterned panes and its thin legs gripping the flower's center. A leafy stem rises below and a couple of small buds wait nearby, ready to bloom. Because the butterfly is resting rather than mid-flight, the shapes are calm and clear, making this an easy, satisfying page for younger and middle-age colorists alike. Butterflies taste with their feet, so when one lands on a flower it is actually checking whether the nectar is worth drinking before it sips. The daisy gives you a big open center and a ring of petals to color, a nice contrast to the butterfly's finer wing sections. Try a warm flower against cool wings, or the other way around. There is plenty here to keep colorists busy without ever feeling crowded. Print it on US Letter or A4 and pair a soft flower with bold butterfly wings.
