The Morning Glory, besides being visually stunning, carries special meaning in many cultures, symbolizing renewal and the start of something new.

Coloring techniques:

•Petal gradients: To bring the Morning Glory’s petals to life, you can use a soft gradient of colors. Start with a darker color in the center of the flower, like a deep blue or purple, and gradually lighten the tone toward the edges of the petals. Use colored pencils or pastels, applying less pressure as you approach the edges to achieve a smooth blend. You can also mix colors, such as blue and pink, for a more dynamic effect.

•Transparency: The Morning Glory has thin, delicate petals that can appear almost transparent. To achieve this effect, use light colors and leave some areas with minimal color, allowing the background to show through. Another technique is to use white or very light-colored pencils on the edges of the petals to give them a light, airy feel.

•Shadows and highlights: Add shadows at the base of the petals or where the flowers overlap. For this, use a darker color than the main petal color, such as a soft navy blue or bluish-gray. Shadows help add depth and make the flower look more three-dimensional. For highlights, leave some areas at the edges of the petals uncolored or apply a touch of white to give the impression of light hitting them.

•Leaves: The leaves can feature various shades of green. Add shadows on the lower parts of the leaves and highlights on the upper areas where light might reflect. Use colors like dark green for shadows and lime green for highlights.

Origin and meaning of the flower:

The Morning Glory (Ipomoea) is a climbing flower known for opening its petals at dawn, hence its name. It is native to tropical regions of the Americas but can now be found worldwide. In the language of flowers, the Morning Glory symbolizes rebirth, hope, and new beginnings, as its flowers open with the sun each day and close by sunset.
