Pelican's Beachside Basket of Treats

Fun Fact

Pelicans use their large throat pouch, called a gular pouch, to scoop up fish from the water, not to store food for long periods like a basket! They can hold several gallons of water in it.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Finesse - Use light, feathery strokes and blend shades of white, grey, or even pale brown for realistic pelican feathers, paying attention to the texture.
2. 2🖍️ Wicker Weave - Vary shades of brown and tan for the basket's wicker to give it depth and texture, highlighting individual strands and the woven pattern.
3. 3✨ Fruitful Glow - Choose bright, vibrant colors for the fruits peeking from the pouch, adding a small highlight with a lighter color or white for a juicy, fresh look.
4. 4🌈 Sunny Sands - Use warm yellows and light browns for the beach, and soft blues for the distant water and sky to create a cheerful, sunny atmosphere.
