What's In This Picture

In the center of the action, you will find a male reporter and a female reporter standing side-by-side, each holding a microphone. They are standing on a city street in front of several tall buildings that stretch up toward the sky. To the left, a large news van is parked, featuring a prominent satellite dish mounted on its roof to send signals far and wide.

Looking upward, you can see fluffy clouds and a bright sun with friendly rays shining down on the scene. The street below has simple lines to guide your coloring, while the buildings in the background provide plenty of windows and architectural details to fill in. Every element, from the buttons on the reporters' outfits to the smooth sides of the van, is waiting for a splash of color.

Coloring Tips

For the news van, consider using a bold primary color like bright red or deep blue to make it stand out as a professional vehicle. You can use silver or light gray for the satellite dish and the microphones to give them a metallic look. The reporters' clothing can be any color you like, but professional shades like navy, tan, or charcoal often look great for journalists on the job.

When coloring the city buildings, try using different shades of brown, gray, and brick red to create a sense of depth and variety. The sun looks wonderful in a warm golden yellow, and you can leave the clouds white or give them a very light blue tint around the edges. Using a light touch for the sky will help the darker elements of the city and the van pop off the page.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the satellite dish on top of a news van works like a giant mirror for invisible signals? It bounces the video and audio from the cameras up to a satellite in space, which then beams it back down to the television station so people can watch the news at home almost instantly.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try coming up with a name for your very own news station and write it on the side of the van. You could also draw a small 'Breaking News' banner at the bottom of the page or write a short headline about what the reporters might be talking about today.

Frequently Asked Questions
