What's In This Picture

You will see the artist boy standing proudly with his paintbrush and a paint palette filled with different colors. He is dressed for the job in a floppy beret and a long smock to keep his clothes clean. On the easel, there is a canvas where he has started a painting of rolling hills, a tall tree, and a smiling sun. Behind the boy, the real world looks just as lovely, with jagged mountains, fluffy clouds, and a big sun hanging in the sky. The ground beneath his feet is flat, providing a steady place for his art supplies. Every detail from the grass on the ground to the peaks in the distance is ready for your personal touch.

Coloring Tips

You can make the artist's smock look messy by adding little dots of different colors to represent paint splatters. For the paint palette, try using a variety of bright shades like red, blue, and yellow to show he has many options for his work. It is fun to use slightly different shades for the mountains in the background compared to the hills he is painting on the canvas. This helps the viewer see the difference between the real scenery and his artistic creation. Using a light blue for the sky and a darker blue for the distant peaks creates a sense of depth. You might even use a metallic gold or bright orange for the sun to make it really pop against the clouds.

Did You Know?

Many famous painters loved to work outside just like the boy in this picture. This style of painting is called en plein air, which is French for in the open air. Artists like Claude Monet would carry their heavy easels into fields and gardens to capture how the sunlight changed throughout the day. It helped them see the real colors of nature.

Try This!

After you finish coloring this page, you might want to find a piece of scrap paper and try to copy the landscape the boy is painting. You can also look around your own home or backyard and draw something you see. If you have paints, try mixing two colors together on a separate plate to see what new color you can create. This is exactly how real artists find the perfect shades.
