What's In This Picture
As you look at the page, you will find the young girl holding a trowel, ready to tuck the rose bush into the earth. Nearby, her wheelbarrow is overflowing with extra flowers, and a watering can sits on the grass waiting to nourish the new plants. A sturdy wooden bench rests under the shade of nearby trees and bushes, offering a perfect spot to rest.
In the background, a grand castle rises against a sky where the sun shines brightly. Look closely to spot the tiny details, like the friendly butterflies and bees fluttering among the rose buds. Even a small snail is making its way across the lawn. The entire scene is framed by lush greenery and a variety of blooming plants, creating a truly idyllic landscape.
Coloring Tips
For the roses, you might choose classic shades of crimson, soft pink, or even a bright yellow. Using a darker green for the leaves of the rose bush will make the colorful petals stand out. The castle can be shaded in soft greys or warm sandy tones, perhaps with colorful banners on the towers to add a royal touch.
Try using a light blue or a pale yellow wash for the sky around the sun. Since there are many small elements like the bees and the snail, using fine-tipped markers or sharpened colored pencils will help you stay within the lines. You can add texture to the grass by using short, flicking strokes with different shades of green to make the lawn look lush and full.
Did You Know?
Did you know that roses have been around for a very long time? Fossils of wild roses have been found that are over 35 million years old. Also, many people do not realize that some roses can grow quite tall, almost like trees, if they are given enough space and care in a garden like the one in this picture.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, you could try to draw your own secret garden on the back of the page. You might also want to look for real rose bushes in your neighborhood to see what colors they are. Another fun idea is to write a short story about who lives in the castle and why the girl is planting flowers for them.
