What's In This Picture
As you look across this magical valley, the first things you notice are the incredible flying machines. A large dragon hot air balloon leads the way, followed closely by a fish balloon and even a castle balloon soaring high above the mountains. The sun shines brightly over a dense forest and a sparkling river that curves through the center of the page. On the ground, you will find a charming village of mushroom houses where gnomes and fairies spend their days. Look closely to find the flowers blooming near the water and a cow enjoying the grass. Every corner of this drawing is packed with whimsical details, including a cloud cupcake balloon that adds a sweet touch to the sky.
Coloring Tips
Since this is a fantasy world, you can use any colors you like. For the dragon balloon, try using bright greens or deep purples to make it stand out against the blue sky. The mushroom houses look wonderful with red tops and white spots, or you could give them rainbow patterns for a more magical feel. Use different shades of green for the trees and forest to create depth in the landscape. For the river, blending light blues and teals can create a shimmering water effect. You might want to use metallic gel pens for the wings of the fairies or the sun to add extra sparkle. Because the lines are moderately dense, colored pencils are a great choice for reaching the smaller details like the gnomes and tiny flowers.
Did You Know?
In many fairy tales, gnomes are said to be the guardians of the earth's treasures. They are often pictured living in cozy mushroom houses. While real hot air balloons use hot air to float, these fantasy versions likely use a bit of magic to keep the castle and dragon balloons high in the air.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, try to find all the hidden fairies throughout the landscape. You can also name each of the mushroom houses and decide which gnome lives in each one. For a fun challenge, try to draw a new animal-shaped balloon in the empty spaces of the sky to join the fish and dragon.
