Rose Cottage Garden

Climbing roses surround the arched door of a cozy cottage, with a hanging lantern beside a shuttered window and its overflowing flower box. A stone path winds through the garden between sections of picket fence. A flower-filled basket and watering can sit near the doorstep, while flowering branches stretch overhead. A butterfly hovers above the flowers, and a distant steeple rises beyond the shrubs.

This detailed scene offers adults many small petals, leaves, roof sections and wood-grain lines to explore. Try soft pinks and creams for the roses, with contrasting greens throughout the garden. Sharpened colored pencils can help with the tiny blossoms and basket weave; use lighter layers on the path and cottage walls to keep the flowers prominent.
