Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Wood Grain Wisdom - Use varying shades of brown, grey, and even a touch of green to give the coop's wooden planks an aged, weathered look. Don't be afraid to add small lines for texture.
2. 2🖍️ Feathered Friends' Flair - Chickens come in many colors! Use reds, browns, whites, blacks, and iridescent greens or blues for their feathers. Layer colors to create depth and softness.
3. 3✨ Natural Surroundings - Pay attention to the ground! Use earthy tones for the dirt, straw, and grass. Add small specks of yellow for scattered corn or seeds, and subtle shadows for realism.
4. 4🌈 Light and Shadow Play - Think about where the sun is shining. Add brighter colors to areas hit by light and deeper, richer tones for shaded spots under the coop or within its nooks.
