Steam Train Journey Colouring

A classic steam locomotive pulls two little passenger carriages along countryside rails toward a stone tunnel beneath drifting steam. Try red, green, blue, black, or a colourful heritage design on the engine, then give the carriages matching or contrasting shades. Colour the rails steel grey, the sleepers brown, the hills green, the tunnel stones gently, and the steam clouds pale. Begin with the round boiler and cab, then colour the smokestack, lamp, cowcatcher, driving wheels, connecting rods, and carriage windows. Begin with the biggest spaces using gentle pressure, then add stronger colour to lights, panels, patterns, and other small details. Younger artists can use one solid shade in each shape, while older children can blend two related colours, add stripes or dots, and draw extra scenery in the open space. As you work, say the vehicle name—Train—and notice the wheels, windows, controls, and special parts that help it move and do its job.
