Step by step: how to draw Creative Friday Kolam Colours Design
- In the centre draw a flower of four rounded, notched petals with a dot and a ring of short stamen lines at its heart.
- Above, below, left and right of it draw a three-petal flower, each with a spray of long stamens tipped with small buds.
- On the four diagonals draw four more bud-stamened three-petal flowers, so eight flowers ring the centre in a diamond.
- From each side of the centre flower run a short stem ending in a sprig of three small pointed petals.
- Give each diagonal flower a stem with a pair of small leaves reaching towards the centre.
- Between neighbouring outer flowers draw a spiral curl — eight curls around the edge.
- Colour the outer petals red, orange, blue and purple, the centre flower deep red, the stamen buds pink, the sprigs yellow and pink and the leaves green.
