What's In This Picture

As you look at this scene, your eyes are drawn to the large central petunia flowers that fill the wooden planter box. These flowers have wide, open petals that are perfect for experimenting with bright shades. Surrounding the blooms are various leaves and long, curling vines that drape down toward the brick wall at the bottom. In the background, the window frame and vertical panes suggest a cozy home just inside. The window sill provides a flat, solid base for the garden box, while the individual bricks below offer a repetitive pattern that is very satisfying to fill in.

Coloring Tips

To make the petunia flowers look realistic, try using a darker shade near the center of the bloom and a lighter shade toward the edges of the petals. For the wooden planter box, using horizontal strokes can help mimic the natural grain of the wood. You can make the brick wall look more interesting by using a mix of earthy tones like terracotta, tan, and even a little bit of grey rather than just one solid color. Since the leaves and vines are layered, using different shades of green will help distinguish each individual plant part and add depth to your artwork.

Did You Know?

Petunias are actually related to tomatoes, potatoes, and even chili peppers! They are very popular for window boxes because they love the sun and can bloom all summer long. Some petunias even have a very sweet scent that gets stronger in the evening to attract moths for pollination.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the flowers, you could draw a small ladybug or a butterfly landing on one of the petals. You might also like to draw a scene inside the window panes, like a cozy kitchen or a sleepy cat looking out at the garden. This helps tell a story about who lives behind the beautiful flower box.
