What's In This Picture
As you look at the page, your eyes are immediately drawn to the large pot of gold sitting on the ground. It is filled to the brim with individual coins waiting for a splash of metallic color. Stretching across the sky is a wide rainbow that curves gracefully behind the pot, disappearing into fluffy clouds on either side.
The foreground is covered in small, lucky shamrocks that grow among the grass. In the distance, you can see the outlines of gentle hills that create a sense of depth. Every element, from the texture of the coins to the layers of the rainbow, provides a wonderful opportunity to experiment with different shades and blending techniques.
Coloring Tips
For the rainbow, try using the traditional sequence of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet to make it look classic. You can use a light touch with your pencils to blend the colors where they meet, creating a soft transition. The pot of gold looks best with a dark base like deep grey or brown, which helps the bright yellow or gold coins really pop against it.
The hills and shamrocks offer a chance to use various shades of green. Using a darker forest green for the hills and a brighter lime green for the shamrocks can help them stand out from each other. If you want to add a bit of sparkle, a glitter pen or a metallic marker for the coins will give the treasure a truly magical finish.
Did You Know?
Legend says that leprechauns hide their pots of gold at the end of rainbows, but since rainbows are optical illusions, you can never actually reach the end! Also, finding a four-leaf clover is quite rare; there are usually about 10,000 three-leaf shamrocks for every one four-leaf clover.
Try This!
After finishing the picture, you could try to count all the individual coins in the pot or see how many shamrocks you can find hidden in the grass. It is also fun to write a short story on the back about who left the gold there and what kind of adventure you took to find it.
