What's In This Picture

As you look around the studio, you notice two easels holding canvases where rainbows are coming to life. The woman carefully guides the child who is sitting comfortably on a small stool. On the nearby table, you can find several paint pots and a jar brimming with extra brushes. A cheerful potted plant sits in the corner, adding a touch of nature to the indoor room.

Through the large window, a bright sun and fluffy clouds peek in, lighting up the entire workspace. The characters are fully prepared for their project, holding their own paintbrush and palette while wearing their aprons to keep their clothes clean. Every corner of the room is filled with artistic details, including the specific shapes of the paint containers and the distinct stripes of the rainbows waiting for your favorite colors.

Coloring Tips

For the rainbows, try using the brightest shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple to make them pop against the white canvas. You can use soft browns or tans for the wooden easels and the table to give the room a cozy, rustic feel. Since the sun is shining through the window, consider adding a light yellow glow to the edges of the characters and the furniture to show where the light hits.

The aprons are a great place to experiment with paint splatters by adding tiny dots of various colors once you are finished with the main areas. If you want the art studio to feel modern, you could use cool grays for the walls, or choose a warm cream color to make it feel extra inviting. Don't forget to color the potted plant with a vibrant green to make the corner of the room stand out.

Did You Know?

Did you know that a real rainbow is actually a full circle? We usually only see a half-circle from the ground because the horizon hides the bottom half. To see a rainbow, the sun must be behind you while it is raining in front of you. Artists often use rainbows to practice mixing primary colors like red, yellow, and blue to create secondary colors.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try to find a piece of paper and draw what you think the artists will paint next on their next canvas. You could also practice mixing two colors together in the margins of the page to see what new shades you can create, just like a real artist using a palette. Another fun idea is to count all the paintbrushes hidden throughout the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What order should the rainbow colors go in?
You can use the traditional ROYGBIV order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—or create your own unique color pattern!
How can I make the window look like it is glowing?
Use a very light yellow or orange crayon around the sun and the edges of the window frame to simulate warm sunlight pouring into the studio.
Should I color the aprons one solid color?
Real artist aprons are often covered in colorful stains, so feel free to add lots of little multi-colored spots and streaks to show they have been working hard!
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
