Winter bird visitors

Three little birds gather around a snow-topped feeder beside a branch of winter berries.

How much detail?

Bird wings, tiny feet and berry clusters add moderate detail around broad snowy shapes. About the labels.

Try this palette: Winter visitors

Try a warm rust breast on one bird and cool gray-blue on another. Use berry red sparingly to punctuate the snowy scene.

A small coloring tip

Colored pencils suit the feather outlines, toes and small berries; use light layers on the snow.

Which bird would you color first at the feeder?
