How much detail?

Large spots and broad wing bands offer open coloring spaces with little background detail. About the labels.

Try this palette: Petal and wing

Choose one color for the spots and a second for the bands; repeat the pair across the wings.

A small coloring tip

A crayon or broad pencil stroke fits the wing areas. Use the tip for the narrow body segments.

Make the top wings warmer than the lower wings, or repeat the same sequence on both sides.
