Mother Peacock with Chicks Colouring Page

A mother peahen stands with three little chicks gathered close beside her. Her modest crest, folded wings and short tail contrast with the chicks' fluffy rounded bodies. Simple grass surrounds the family as the young birds stay near their mother in a calm garden scene. How to colour: Use warm brown for the mother's back and wings, forest green for her neck, cream for her face and chest, and dark brown for her short tail. Colour the chicks pale buff with cream bellies and slightly darker brown backs. Use grey for the mother's bill and legs, pale tan for the chicks' small bills and feet, and fresh green for the grass. Work in short gentle pencil strokes to suggest feathers and down. Keep the chicks lighter than their mother and add the deepest brown only where the adult wing feathers overlap.
