What's In This Picture

The center of the page features a majestic peacock standing on the ground. Its most striking feature is the large, arched tail spread out behind it like a beautiful fan. Each feather has a distinct "eye" pattern waiting for a splash of color. Around the bird, you will find several small flowers peeking out from the bushes that frame the scene.\n\nThe simple, clean lines make it easy to follow the shapes of the leaves and the bird's graceful neck. You can see the texture of the ground and the way the plants grow around the bird's feet. Every part of the bird, from its small crest to its long tail, is clearly defined for a fun coloring experience.

Coloring Tips

For the peacock's body, try using deep blues or vibrant teals to make it stand out against the background. The tail feathers look wonderful when you use a mix of emerald green, gold, and bright purple for the circular patterns. You can use different shades of green for the bushes to create depth and bright pinks or yellows for the flowers.\n\nSince the lines are moderately thick, markers or colored pencils work well for filling in the smaller details of the feathers. Using a lighter touch for the ground will help the darker colors of the bird pop. You might even want to add some glitter glue to the "eyes" of the feathers for a shimmering effect.

Did You Know?

Did you know that only the males are called peacocks? The females are called peahens, and they don't have the big, colorful tail feathers. A group of these birds is sometimes called a "party" or an "ostentation," which fits perfectly because they love to show off their feathers! These birds are actually members of the pheasant family.

Try This!

After finishing the picture, you could try to draw your own "eye" patterns on a separate piece of paper. You can also count how many individual feathers are in the fan or try to name all the different colors you used in the garden. Identifying the different parts of the bird like the crest and the beak is another fun way to learn.
