Peacock in a Forest Clearing Colouring Page

A peacock stands in a small forest clearing between simple tree trunks, with its long folded train trailing over the ground. A few ferns and tufts of grass grow around the bird. The open clearing leaves plenty of space around its upright neck, little crest and patterned feathers. How to colour: Use royal blue for the head and neck, emerald green for the train, warm brown for the wing and grey for the bill and legs. Colour the feather eyes navy and turquoise with golden-yellow rings. Give the trunks medium brown bark, the ferns olive green and the grass fresh green; use sandy beige on the ground. Apply lighter pressure to the distant trees and plants, then add richer layers to the peacock. Follow the bark with vertical pencil strokes and the train with long strokes along each feather.
