Pigeon Sitting in Its Nest Colouring Page

A pigeon settles comfortably in a nest made from slender twigs. Its upright head and neatly folded wing sit above the loosely woven nest, creating a quiet resting scene. The smooth body feathers contrast with the irregular sticks, offering both large spaces and smaller details to colour. How to colour: Colour the body pale blue-grey, the head slate grey and the wing bars charcoal. Blend a little emerald green and violet into the neck. Use dark grey for the bill and leave the small patch above it white. Give the nest alternating tan, ochre and warm-brown twigs, adding dark brown only where sticks overlap. Apply a soft base with the side of a pencil, then sharpen it for the twig edges and feather lines. Leave the upper body lighter and shade gently below the folded wing to make the pigeon look rounded.
