Plant & Leaf Coloring Pages

Look at the leaf shapes before choosing a page. Broad cactus bodies and large tropical leaves offer open spaces, while rosettes, fern leaflets and greenhouse shelves provide more small areas to explore.

Matching coloring pages

Choose the kind of coloring you want.

Clear cactus silhouettes

Three different cacti sit in plain pots. Their simple forms make it easy to try a different green on each plant.

Cactus shelf ↗

Three contrasting leaf forms

A rosette, pointed leaves and a trailing plant share one shelf. Repeating the pot colors can connect those different shapes.

Three little succulent pots ↗

Fine repeated foliage

Narrow leaflets line the tall fronds, with curled young growth below. A sharp pencil fits the smaller spaces and curved tips.

Unfurling fern fronds ↗

Use more than one green without coloring every leaf differently.

Choose two or three greens with a clear difference in lightness. Give each plant one main green, then reserve a second shade for a few overlapping leaves or one side of a broad leaf. In a succulent rosette, follow one layer of leaves around the center before moving outward. This keeps the repeated shapes easy to track.

For fern fronds, work along one side of a stem and then the other instead of jumping around the page. A few lighter leaflets can break up the repeat. Let pots provide the strongest non-green color: warm clay, blue stripes or a simple cream finish can separate the plant from its container. Added veins and gentle pencil gradients belong on paper; the studio uses the enclosed spaces in the drawing.

Try a small project

Use the three succulent pots as a small palette study. Give all three pots matching colors, but make one plant warm green, one cool green and one an imagined purple or pink.
