Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Fluffy Feathers - Use light, soft strokes with white, grey, or pale brown for the baby pelican's downy feathers to show its softness.
2. 2🖍️ Sparkling Water - Blend shades of light blue, green, and even a touch of white for the clear, shallow water, making the gentle ripples stand out.
3. 3✨ Wise Watcher - Pay attention to the adult pelican's detailed feathers, using varying shades of grey, white, or brown, and a contrasting color for its long, strong beak.
4. 4🌈 Natural Frame - Color the sandy shore with warm yellows and browns, and the reeds and water plants with different greens to create a beautiful natural backdrop.
