The Amaryllis is a bulbous plant famous for its spectacular winter blooms. Each stem produces multiple large flowers, often in vibrant shades of red, white, pink, or orange. Unlike many flowers, its leaves often emerge after the flowering stalk. Native to South America, the Amaryllis has become a beloved holiday and wintertime plant, bringing a burst of color and life indoors during the colder months.

You can choose classic, realistic colors or create a fantastical, unique bloom. Here are some traditional color suggestions with HEX codes:

• Petals: For a classic look, try a bold Crimson (#DC143C) or a soft Salmon Pink (#FF91A4). A pure White (#FFFFFF) with subtle shading is also beautiful.

2. Directional Strokes: Follow the natural curve of the petals and the length of the leaves with your coloring strokes to emphasize their shape.
3. Highlight & Shadow: Imagine your light source. Leave areas lighter where the light hits and add deeper tones in the folds and at the base of the petals.
