: The Wild Bluebonnets Under Cloudy Sky colour page exemplifies elegant Texas flowers bending in the midst of fluffy clouds- ideal when one wants to relax and create.
Get out into the relaxing beauty of open fields with the coloring page of Wild Bluebonnets Under Cloudy Sky. This calm painting shows a bed of bluebonnets growing in clumps over an open field, with their very straight pointed stems leaning under pressure by the shaded fluffy clouds. The spike of every flower is sketched using delicate thin and graceful lines that emphasise the natural beat and texture of the landscape. A perfectly fine sky on the top is perfected with the dramatic and depth the clouds add balance the fragile florals found on the ground. This design is the one to be used when you need to relax or create, to engage the mind or capture the mind, or to find the calmness of nature in a place where the colours and calmness come together in the clear sky above a vast body of water.

How to Color
In order to colour the bluebonnets, cover with an indigo, royal blue and violet-blue, then without being overpowering, more light tones were applied to the top of each petal to produce a natural gradient. Added few sprinkles of white or light lavender to emphasise sunlight on the flowers. The leaves and stems should be in medium to dark green with some tint of olive. In case of a cloudy sky, one should mix soft greys and light blues along with some traces of pale lavender to achieve the depth and atmosphere. In working with some of the unused white space you may choose to leave highlights in the clouds or mist them with a softness. Likewise, coloured pencils can be used to be precise or use water colour pencils to feel light and breezy which provides the tranquil effect of the scene.
