Secret Greenhouse coloring page

Secret Greenhouse coloring page line art — the inside of a glasshouse packed with ferns, orchids, seedling trays and hanging baskets. The same Secret Greenhouse coloring page coloured in using the palette below.
The line art, and one way of colouring it — using the 12 colours below.

What is on the page

The view is from inside a glasshouse, looking down the length of it to an open door and a garden path beyond. A pitched glass roof frames the top of the page. Hanging baskets of ivy and fern drop from the rafters, staging on both sides carries orchids, seedling trays, potted herbs and patterned-leaf plants, and large foliage plants crowd the tiled floor in the foreground. A metal watering can stands beside them. The floor is drawn as hexagonal tiles.

Colouring it

Dense detail — an unhurried, absorbing page.

The most detailed page here, with dozens of small leaves — but they are all the same job repeated, which makes it unusually relaxing rather than difficult. Vary your greens by depth rather than by plant: cooler and darker at the back, warmer and lighter at the front, and the glasshouse gains distance. The orchids and the tiled floor are where a second colour earns its place.

The palette

Every page in Imagine & Color ships with a palette chosen for that drawing. These are the 12 colours for Secret Greenhouse, with the names they carry in the app — useful whether you are colouring on an iPad or matching pencils on paper.
