Flamingos Standing In A Tranquil Lagoon Coloring Page

Three flamingos stand in still water on an almost empty sheet. One horizon line crosses the page a little below the middle, a wide ripple ring spreads around the legs of the nearest two birds, and a second faint arc of water runs off to the right. Above the horizon there is nothing at all. This is by some distance the sparsest page in the bird set, and whether that suits you depends entirely on what you want from an hour. Fewer than twenty five shapes exist here in total. Each flamingo is a smooth curved neck, a hooked black tipped bill, a rounded body with a few wing strokes, and two thin legs, and that is the whole drawing. For anyone who finds the intricate sheets tiring, or who is working with unsteady hands, that is exactly right: nothing is small, nothing is crowded, and a wash of pink across three large bodies finishes the page. The empty upper half is an invitation rather than an oversight. A flat band of sunset behind the birds turns this from a study into a picture and costs you one color.
