A round hen stands beside two eggs in a small nest. A broad wing and open body give a simple alternative to the busier hen-and-chicks garden scene.

How much detail?

Broad body, wing and egg shapes surround only a few smaller foot and beak areas. About the labels.

Try this palette: Woodland light

Try a warm brown hen, a brighter comb and pale cream eggs.

A small coloring tip

A crayon fits the broad body; use its tip for the feet, beak and curved nest bands.

Leave the eggs plain, or add your own large dots and stripes.
