Magical Phoenix Colouring Flight

Meet this joyful Phoenix, a magical sunrise bird who greets each new day with wide wings, a bright smile and a beautiful fan of flowing tail feathers. Its feather crest, rounded beak, layered chest, broad wings and five large flame-shaped tail plumes provide bold, satisfying spaces for young artists to colour. Begin with sunny yellow on the face and chest, then blend warm orange, coral red and golden shades across the wings. Try deep red or purple near the wing tips so every feather stands out. Colour the crest in alternating orange, yellow and ruby tones, and make each long tail feather a different fiery combination, such as yellow in the centre with orange and red toward the edges. The beak and feet can be pale gold or soft brown. Give the rising sun a bright yellow centre with orange rays, use gentle blue for the clouds and distant hills, and colour the branch with warm brown and green leaves. Finish the flowers with cheerful pink, violet, blue or yellow petals and fresh green stems. Use long curved strokes along the tail, shorter strokes following the wing feathers and lighter pressure near the chest. Add slightly darker edges around the crest and wing tips so this friendly Phoenix looks ready to soar into a sparkling new adventure.
