The little steam train

A little steam locomotive rolls along a short track beneath one broad puff of steam. Three big wheels and open boiler panels give you clear shapes to color.

How much detail?

The cab and boiler are broad; wheel spokes, track sleepers and the connecting bar have narrower spaces. About the labels.

Try this palette: Little railway

Give the boiler a warm red, use a lighter shade for the cab, and repeat dark blue around the three wheels.

A small coloring tip

Broad crayons work on the boiler and steam; a smaller tip reaches the wheel spokes and connecting bar.

Choose a repeating color order for the three large wheels.
