How to Colour
First, get the petals: orchids come in a wide array of color, soft hues of white and pink to the rich tones of purple, yellow and even being speckled. To make it look as realistic as possible use light tones on the edges of the petals and darker hues towards the center with softly gradating colors. You may also challenge yourself with some patterned work, many orchids are naturally streaked or spotted. To make the flower stand out use brighter colors such as yellow, magenta, red in the center of the flower. Leave and stem to be shaded in gradations of green, deeper shadows along the veins. You may wish the orchid to be more dramatic, in which case leave the background plain, or add a wash of soft pastels, blues or beige, in order to provide a contrast.
