Seaside Serenity: Pelicans on the Old Pier

Fun Fact

Pelicans have a special pouch under their beak called a gular pouch, which can hold up to three gallons of water and fish, making them excellent fishers!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Textures - Use light feathery strokes and blend shades of white, grey, and brown to create realistic pelican plumage.
2. 2🖍️ Weathered Wood - Apply varying shades of brown, grey, and even a touch of faded green to show the aged, intricate grain of the pier posts.
3. 3✨ Ocean Glow - Use blues and greens for the calm water, adding lighter shades or white for gentle ripples and reflections from the sky.
4. 4🌈 Sky's Embrace - Choose soft pastels for a serene sky, perhaps a gradient from pale blue to a hint of pink or orange for a peaceful sunrise or sunset.
