Cruise Ship Holiday Colouring

A grand cruise ship sails past a tropical island under a sunny sky with open decks, lifeboats, portholes, funnels, and a foamy wake. Try white or pale blue for the ship, add a strong colour along the hull, and use bright shades for the funnels and lifeboats. Colour the sea in several blues, the island palms green and brown, the sun yellow, and the distant clouds very lightly. Begin with the huge hull and decks, then carefully colour the bridge glass, railings, portholes, lifeboats, funnels, anchor, and curling wake. Begin with the biggest spaces using gentle pressure, then add stronger colour to lights, panels, patterns, and other small details. Younger artists can use one solid shade in each shape, while older children can blend two related colours, add stripes or dots, and draw extra scenery in the open space. As you work, say the vehicle name—Cruise Ship—and notice the wheels, windows, controls, and special parts that help it move and do its job.
