Swan Flying Over the Pond Colouring

A swan flies above a small pond with its broad wings spread and long neck reaching forward. The separated flight feathers show the shape of the wings, while a few reeds and water ripples place the bird above its pond home. The open air around the swan gives the scene a light, spacious feeling and keeps attention on the flying bird. How to colour: Keep the main feathers white, using pale lavender-grey along the lower edges of the wings and pale blue-grey beneath the body. Colour the bill orange with a black base and any visible feet charcoal-black. Use pale blue for the water, light blue for the sky and olive green for the reeds. Follow each long flight feather with one smooth pencil stroke, build shadows gently, and leave a thin white space around the wing tips to keep them crisp.
