Graceful Pelican's Ocean Hunt

Fun Fact

Pelicans have a unique pouch under their beak called a gular pouch, which can hold up to 3 gallons of water and fish! They use it like a net to scoop up their prey.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Feather Focus** - Use varying shades of white, grey, and brown for the pelican's feathers to show depth and texture. Consider subtle blues or pinks for highlights.
2. 2🖍️ **Dynamic Water** - Capture the splash with a mix of light blues, turquoises, and even a touch of white for foam. Use darker blues for the deeper ocean waves.
3. 3✨ **Light and Shadow** - Identify the light source (e.g., sun) and apply darker shades to areas in shadow, like under the wings or where the water is deeper, to make the scene pop.
4. 4🌈 **Background Blend** - For the distant coastline, use muted greens and browns, blending softly into the sky and water to create a sense of distance and atmosphere.
