What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Start Light: Begin with lighter shades and gradually add darker tones for shadows and depth, especially under the boat hull and cabin overhangs.
• Texture Fun: Use short, curved lines to color the water, giving it a wavy look. Try cross-hatching on the wooden crates for a textured effect.
• Make it Yours: This is your boat! Maybe it’s a sunny day with a bright blue sky, or perhaps it’s a misty morning with gray, moody tones. Add seabirds, a sun, or even a name on the hull!
