Additional Coloring Tips
1Dragonfly wings
Leave the wings lightly shaded in pale blue-gray so they look translucent against the background.
2Lily blossom petals
Layer pale lavender with a touch of white at the center so the petals look softly lit from above.
3Water surface
Color the water in two uneven bands, lighter near the top and slightly deeper blue near the lily pads, to suggest gentle ripples.
