Graceful Gliders Under Willows

Fun Fact

Ducks have special waterproof feathers! An oil gland near their tail produces oil that they spread over their feathers, making water bead up and roll right off, keeping them dry even when swimming for hours.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Water Reflections - Use light blues, grays, and a touch of the tree and duck colors, making them slightly faded or wavy to show the reflections on the calm water.
2. 2🖍️ Willow Tree Texture - Use varying shades of green for the leaves, from light lime to deep forest green, and earthy browns for the branches. Don't forget to add subtle lines to show the drooping texture.
3. 3✨ Duck Feather Details - Give the ducks personality! Use different shades of brown, white, and even a hint of iridescent green or blue on their heads, blending colors to create soft, feathery textures.
4. 4🌈 Depth and Shadows - Add darker shades under the ducks and beneath the willow branches where the light wouldn't reach directly. This will make your scene look more three-dimensional and realistic.
