How much detail?

The bird and flower offer open shapes; the bill, feet and thin wing tips are smaller. About the labels.

Try this palette: Petal and wing

Use leaf green on the bird and a warm pink flower, then keep the wing tips a little lighter.

A small coloring tip

A broad tip suits the body and petals; use a pencil for the long bill and tucked feet.

Alternate two colors through the wing panels and repeat one in the tail.
