Heron Riverbank Colouring Page

This great blue heron is resting peacefully on a gentle riverbank with its neck relaxed and one leg tucked comfortably. A few smooth stones, grasses and flowing water create a cosy natural setting while leaving plenty of open space for younger artists. Try soft blue-grey feathers, a creamy neck, a yellow beak and charcoal legs, or create a colourful storybook heron instead. Colour the body with long feather-like strokes, use light pressure around the face, and make the river with pale horizontal blue lines. Add earthy browns to the bank and stones, then finish the grasses in fresh green shades.
