Matching coloring pages

Choose the kind of coloring you want.

A quiet single bird

The rounded songbird and short twig leave large spaces. Start with the breast, then choose a different wing color.

Round songbird on a twig ↗

A family at home

The nest introduces smaller woven lines around the birds. Keep those lines lighter if you want the family to lead.

Songbird and three chicks ↗

An owl in flight

Spread wings create a different silhouette. Repeat a color across matching feather sections or alternate two shades.

Follow the direction of the feathers.

On paper, work from the base of a feather toward its tip with light strokes. A broad wing can stay smooth while a few smaller feather groups get more detail. Leave a small highlight in the eye if it is available in the outline.

For water birds, use horizontal marks in the pond and shorter marks on the body. For a nest scene, give the nest a restrained color so its many lines do not overwhelm the faces. The drawings are decorative illustrations, not field-guide plates.

Try a small project

Use the same three colors on a perched bird and a flying bird. Let the wing pattern connect the pair.
