Orchids on a curved stem

How much detail?

Broad petals, leaves and a plain pot leave plenty of open space; the flower centers, thin stem and a few pot stones need a smaller tip. About the labels.

Try this palette: Orchid shades

Pale orchidSoft violetDeep violetLeaf green

Keep the outer petals pale and use a stronger violet near each flower center.

A small coloring tip

A sharpened violet pencil reaches the flower centers; blend lightly toward the wide petal edges.

Give each flower a slightly different center while keeping all the outer petals the same color.
