The Satisfied Pelican's Epic Catch

Fun Fact

Pelicans have a very special pouch under their beak called a gular pouch! It can hold up to three gallons of water and helps them scoop up fish like a giant net. They don't store food in it for long, they just use it to catch their meal and then swallow it quickly!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Pouch Perfection - Make the pelican's pouch look stretched and full with shades of light pinks, grays, or even a hint of blue to show the fish inside.
2. 2🖍️ Fishy Details - Use a variety of bright, contrasting colors for the fish. Think shimmering silvers, deep blues, vibrant reds, and sunny yellows to make each fish pop!
3. 3✨ Weathered Wood - Give the pier post a rustic look by layering browns, grays, and even a touch of faded green for moss. Use small, textured strokes to mimic old wood grain.
4. 4🌈 Pattern Play - The frame offers a great chance to use complementary colors or a gradient. Try repeating a color scheme from the main scene to tie it all together beautifully.
