How much detail?

Wheel spokes, carriage frames, brick courses, reeds and foliage create many small spaces around the open river. About the labels.

Try this palette: River railway

Alternate two subtle stone colors on the bridge, then give each carriage a different accent color.

A small coloring tip

Colored pencils suit the wheel spokes, masonry and reeds; keep a light blue pencil for the narrow river spaces.
