Grand Slam Friends on the Clay Court

Fun Fact

Did you know the first tennis balls were often made of wool or hair wrapped in cloth? The bright yellow tennis ball we know today only became standard in the 1970s, making it much easier to see on television!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Clay Court Texture - Use warm oranges, reds, and browns, layering them lightly to create the gritty, textured look of a clay court. Add tiny specks of darker color for realism.
2. 2🖍️ Dynamic Duo Outfits - Give each child unique, bright outfits! Think patterned shirts, colorful shorts, and distinct shoes to show their individual personalities and add vibrancy.
3. 3✨ Net Details - Focus on the intricate mesh of the net. Use a fine-tipped marker or pencil to draw individual squares, then lightly shade behind it with a muted color to give it depth and make it stand out.
4. 4🌈 Background Depth - The surrounding fence and distant scenery can add context. Use muted greens and grays for the fence, and varying shades of green for any trees or bushes beyond, creating a sense of space and realism.
