Flamingo Standing on One Leg Colouring Page

A graceful adult flamingo stands calmly on one long leg in a shallow lagoon. Its other leg is folded against the body, its long neck curves in a gentle S shape and its hooked bill points slightly downward. A few reeds, a distant low shoreline and light water ripples keep the wetland setting simple while the single bird remains the clear focus. How to colour: Use very pale blush pink for the neck and body, then add coral pink to the shoulder feathers and a touch of raspberry along the deeper wing layers. Colour the bill pale pink near the face with a strong black tip, make the eye warm golden yellow with a tiny black centre, and shade the standing leg soft rose pink with a darker knee joint. Use pale aqua and light blue for the lagoon, olive and fresh green for the reeds, and sandy beige with soft green for the distant shore. Build the bird with light, even layers, follow the curve of the neck with smooth strokes and leave narrow white highlights on the feathers and water.
