Two pink flamingos wade in the shallow blue water of a salt marsh. One stands tall, and the other bends down to drink. Tall green reeds grow along the banks, with mountains far away. It's a good next step once you've painted a few. Your paint stays inside the lines, so the pink won't run into the water.
How to paint it
- Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Make the brush big and paint the sky light blue. Paint the far hills soft violet, then add their shade with Darker.
- Tap Texture twice and choose Clouds. Dab soft cream clouds above the hills.
- Go back to your brush. Paint the water light turquoise, then add the deeper parts with Darker. Paint the muddy banks sandy brown.
- Paint the reeds and grass green, with gold on some of the tips. Add their shade low down with Darker.
- Paint the flamingos coral pink. Tap Texture twice and choose Fur. With Darker, add short strokes along the wing feathers.
- Draw the legs rose pink with the Pencil. Add the black beak tips and the eyes in the darkest colour.
