Coloring Tips

To capture the shimmering effect of a tail, try using glitter gel pens or metallic colored pencils to add a magical glow to the scales. Parents can show kids how to blend different shades of turquoise and seafoam green to make the water look realistic and deep. If you are using watercolors, start with a light wash for the background and wait for it to dry before adding bolder, darker colors to the main characters to make them truly pop off the page.
