Peacock Resting on a Tree Branch Colouring Page

A peacock rests on a strong tree branch with its feet gripping the wood and its long folded train hanging below. A few leaves frame the quiet perch. Its upright neck and small crest rise above the branch, while the hanging patterned feathers create a graceful sweep through the open space beneath it. How to colour: Use deep royal blue for the head and neck, emerald green for the long train and golden brown for the folded wing. Colour the feather eyes navy at the centre, turquoise around the centre and yellow-gold at the edge. Keep the face patches white and colour the bill and feet grey. Use warm brown for the branch and fresh green for the leaves. Follow the hanging feathers with long pencil strokes, then shade the underside of the branch dark brown to give the perch gentle depth.
