Thirsty Cow at the Water Trough

On a peaceful farm, a gentle cow takes a sip of cool, clear water from the trough. As she drinks, her curious eyes notice her reflection shimmering on the surface. Imagine the sights and sounds around her—birds in the trees, a gentle breeze, and the soft swish of her tail. What colors will you use to bring this calm moment to life?

FUN FACT

Cattle spend many hours lying down each day (10-14 hours), but only sleep deeply for short periods (maybe 30 minutes total).

COLORING TIPS

Use light blue shades for the water, blending softly where the reflection appears. Try browns, whites, or black for the cow's fur, and experiment with different spot patterns. Add soft green or tan to suggest grass or ground around the trough if you wish. Enhance the reflection by using lighter, blended tones to suggest rippling water.
