Colouring a Daffodil -Step by Step

This is a step by step colouring tutorial for a daffodil that I wrote for another site last year, and am now free to share it with you all today.

The Daffodil is a digital stamp by Toucan Scraps.

I have used Tria Markers from Letraset, these are alcohol based markers. Colour numbers Y418, O929, O949, 0567, 0346.

1. Coat the petal in a very pale yellowy offwhite [Y418]


2. Whist still wet, go over the top in the areas you want shaded in a slightly darker colour [0929]


3. Add a little pale orange [0949] to the places where the petal tucks behind another or the trumpet.


4. Go over the top of the entire petal again with the lightest colour [Y418] to blend. Repeat with all petals.


5. Allow to dry

6. Coat the entire trumpet with the palest orange [0929]


7. Whilst still wet colour the trumpet with the next orange [O949] leaving only the bits you want to be highlights.


8. Use a bright orange [O567] to colour the main areas of the trumpet


9. Go over the top of the entire petal again with the lightest orange [O929] to blend.
10. Allow to dry
11. Colour the stamens [O346]
