What's In This Picture

The focal point of this page is the princess with her long flowing hair and elegant dress. She is reaching toward the water where a cheerful frog sits patiently. The frog is resting on a large lily pad right at the edge of the pond. In the background, you will find tall reeds growing near the water's edge, adding texture to the landscape.

The sky above is filled with soft, fluffy clouds that frame the entire scene. The water of the pond is calm, providing plenty of space to practice shading and blending. Every element, from the princess's crown to the small details on the lily pads, is drawn with clear outlines to help you create a beautiful finished piece.

Coloring Tips

For the princess, try using soft pastels like lavender or rose for her dress to give it a royal feel. The frog looks wonderful in bright shades of lime or forest green, which helps him stand out against the blue water. Since the scene takes place at a pond, use light blues and teals for the water, and perhaps a darker olive green for the reeds.

You can use a yellow or gold crayon for the crown to make it pop against her hair. If you want to add more depth, try using a slightly darker blue near the lily pads to show where the water is deeper. Using colored pencils can help you get into the smaller areas of the dress and the frog's face.

Did You Know?

Did you know that some frogs can jump over twenty times their own body length? That would be like a human jumping the length of a whole basketball court! Frogs also have a unique way of staying hydrated. They actually use their skin to drink water instead of their mouths, which is why they love living in ponds.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try telling a story about what the frog and princess are talking about. You could even draw extra dragonflies or small fish in the pond to expand the royal garden scene. Another fun idea is to name the princess and the frog and write a short title at the bottom of your artwork.
