Baby Swallows' Cozy Nest

Fun Fact

Did you know swallows are incredible architects? They build their cozy, cup-shaped nests using hundreds of tiny mud pellets, often reinforced with grass and feathers, sticking them to vertical surfaces like barn walls or cliffs!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Nest Textures - Use varying shades of brown, gray, and beige to create the rough, earthy texture of the mud and straw nest. Try tiny, overlapping strokes to show individual pieces.
2. 2🖍️ Fluffy Feathers - For the baby swallows, use very light, soft colors like pale gray, cream, or light brown. Use short, wispy strokes to make their delicate downy feathers look extra fluffy.
3. 3✨ Curious Eyes - Make the babies' large, curious eyes come alive! Use a dark color like black or deep brown for the main eye, and add a tiny dot of white to each eye for a sparkling highlight.
4. 4🌈 Barn Background - If your illustration includes a barn, use weathered reds, rustic browns, or soft grays for the wood. Add subtle shading to suggest the depth and texture of old planks.
