How should you color this page?

Begin by choosing your color palette. You may want to use traditional whites and grays for the swan, or get creative with more imaginative hues. Consider these suggested colors:

Start with lighter colors as a base, then layer with darker shades to add depth and dimension.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layering: For the swan’s feathers, use light, directional strokes to follow the natural flow from the body outwards.
• Water Effects: To create the illusion of water, leave some small areas white or very light to suggest reflections and ripples.
• Background: Keep the sky and distant elements lightly colored to help the main swan stand out as the focal point.
• Blending: Gently blend where different colors meet (like where the swan touches the water) for a smooth transition.
