Jewel of the Garden: Hummingbird Flight

Fun Fact

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can truly fly backwards! Their wings beat so incredibly fast, up to 80 times per second, creating the distinctive humming sound they are named for.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Vibrant Feathers - Use bright, iridescent colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red for the hummingbird's body to capture its jewel-like appearance.
2. 2🖍️ Blurring Wings - To show motion, try using very light, wispy strokes or a subtle gradient of colors on the wings, making them appear transparent and fast.
3. 3✨ Detailed Flora - Focus on the intricate details of the petunias and salvias. Use varying shades of pink, purple, and red for the petals, and rich greens for the leaves to make them pop.
4. 4🌈 Depth in the Garden - Add subtle background colors or soft shading around the flowers and the hummingbird to make them stand out, giving your garden scene depth and realism.
