Majestic Albatross: Master of the Stormy Seas

Fun Fact

The wandering albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird, sometimes reaching over 11 feet! They can fly for thousands of miles without flapping their wings, using the wind to glide effortlessly.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Feather Focus** - Use multiple shades of white, grey, and black to create depth and texture in the albatross's impressive feathers. Pay attention to light and shadow to make them realistic.
2. 2🖍️ **Dynamic Ocean** - Experiment with deep blues, teals, and greens for the turbulent ocean. Add white for the crashing wave foam, using small, quick strokes for a sense of motion and power.
3. 3✨ **Dramatic Sky** - Blend various shades of grey, purple, and even a hint of dark blue for the dramatic cloudy sky. Use soft blending techniques to create a stormy, atmospheric effect.
4. 4🌈 **Subtle Highlights** - Once the main colors are down, add very fine highlights with a white pencil or gel pen to the albatross's eye, the tips of the waves, and bright edges of clouds to make your artwork pop.
