What's In This Picture
This scene centers on a penguin caught mid-splash in the water. You can see the droplets of water jumping into the air around its wings as it moves. The penguin has a big smile, showing how much it enjoys the cool water surface. In the background, there is a rolling landscape featuring gentle hills and a leafy tree standing on the shore. A large smiling sun fills the sky with its long rays reaching down toward the water. The water surface itself is marked with ripples to show movement as the penguin swims along. Every element creates a sense of joyful movement.
Coloring Tips
While most penguins are black and white, you can use dark blues or purples for the back of the penguin to add a soft touch. The belly is usually bright white, and you can add a pop of orange or yellow to the beak and feet. For the water splash, try using light turquoise or sky blue for the ripples while leaving some areas white to look like foam. The hills and tree look great in shades of emerald or forest green. Since the sun has a face, you might want to use a bright lemon yellow or even a warm orange to make it look extra friendly and glowing.
Did You Know?
Even though penguins are birds, they cannot fly through the air. Instead, they use their wings like flippers to fly through the water. Some penguins can swim up to fifteen miles per hour when they are in a hurry. They are amazing underwater acrobats who spend most of their lives in the sea.
Try This!
After finishing your artwork, you could draw some tiny fish jumping out of the water alongside the penguin. You might also want to give your penguin a name and write a short sentence about where it is traveling. Perhaps the penguin is visiting friends on the other side of the big green hills.
