COLORING TIPS

Try blending two shades of blue or green for the water to create a soft, shimmering effect. For the hippo, use gentle layers of gray, purple, or even light blue. Decorate the lilies with dabs of yellow and pink to make them stand out. Don’t forget to color the tall grass with different tones of green for a lush look.
