Hummingbird Sipping Nectar Colouring Page

A hummingbird hovers beside a hanging tubular flower and reaches inside with its long, slender bill. Its lifted wings and small tail balance the downward curve of the blossom. A few leaves surround the flower, keeping the feeding moment at the centre of a quiet garden scene. How to colour: Use emerald green on the bird's back and crown, ruby red on its throat, cream on the belly and soft grey on the wings. Colour the bill charcoal-black. Give the flower rose-red outer petals and a violet inner tube, with leaf-green foliage and brown stems. Begin with light coloured-pencil layers, follow each feather with short strokes, and blend pink into violet along the flower's curve. Leave a tiny white eye highlight and make the deepest greens sit beneath the wing.
