What's In This Picture
At the center of this scene is a fluffy goat looking very content while it receives a good grooming. The boy and girl are positioned on either side, each holding a brush to smooth out the goat's coat. In the background, a classic wooden fence lines the yard, leading your eye toward a large, sturdy barn with its doors shut tight.
Bright flowers peek up from the thick grass underfoot, adding small details to discover as you color. Above the farm, the wide sky stretches out, providing plenty of space for a few soft clouds or a bright sun to be added. Every element from the textures of the goat's fur to the planks on the fence is ready for color.
Coloring Tips
For the goat, you might choose soft whites, creams, or even patches of brown and black to give it some character. The boy and girl can wear bright, vibrant colors like primary reds, blues, or yellows to make them stand out against the greenery. Since this is a farm scene, use various shades of green for the grass to create depth and texture.
The barn traditionally looks great in a bold red, but feel free to experiment with weathered wood tones or even a cheery blue. You can use a lighter touch with your pencil for the sky to keep it looking airy and open. Using different pressure with your crayons can help make the goat's fur look soft and thick.
Did You Know?
Did you know that goats were one of the first animals to be tamed by humans over 9,000 years ago? They are incredibly smart and curious creatures. Goats even have rectangular pupils in their eyes, which helps them see almost all the way around their bodies to stay safe from predators.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, you could try drawing more farm animals like chickens or a cow behind the fence. You might also want to give the goat a name and write a story about what happens on the farm after the grooming session is finished.
