Bride in Layered Gown Holding Lily Bouquet

A young bride stands on a balcony with one gloved hand resting on the railing, her head turned and her eyes looking down to the side. Her hair is styled up with curls, a small flower, and a short ruffled veil. She wears a necklace with a round pendant and a fitted bodice with a row of buttons down the front. The sleeves are fluttery and scalloped, and the long skirt falls in several pleated tiers. A bouquet of lilies with pointed leaves sits at her waist. Behind her is an arched window with an ornate scrolled frame, and the balcony has wavy lines along its side. Try soft pastels for the gown and bright greens and pinks for the flowers. The many tiers of the skirt are a nice place to practice shading with two or three tones of one color. This free page suits patient colorers who enjoy fine detail.
