Willow Wonders: Ducks Under the Drooping Branches

Fun Fact

Did you know that ducks have special waterproof feathers? They produce oil from a gland near their tail and spread it over their feathers with their beaks, making water slide right off!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feathered Friends - Use a mix of greens, browns, and even iridescent purples for the ducks' feathers, especially for mallards. Don't forget their orange feet!
2. 2🖍️ Weeping Willows - Emphasize the long, flowing nature of the willow branches. Use various shades of green for the leaves and a textured brown for the trunk and bark.
3. 3✨ Reflective Waters - Pay close attention to the reflections! The water should subtly mirror the trees and ducks above. Use blues, grays, and a touch of the colors from the objects being reflected, adding gentle ripples.
4. 4🌈 Depth and Detail - For an expert touch, add subtle shading to create depth in the trees and ducks. Consider a soft blue or light grey for the sky peeking through the branches to complete your tranquil scene.
