Nothing shares this page with the puppy. A golden retriever sits square on, ears hanging soft against its cheeks, mouth slightly open, one back leg tucked out to the side. The artist has feathered the outline along the chest, ears and legs so the coat reads as long and slightly shaggy before a single color goes down.

An uncluttered page like this one is forgiving. There are only about a dozen closed shapes to fill, which makes it a sensible choice for a three or four year old, or for anyone who wants a quick page rather than an afternoon project.

Golden retrievers are not one gold. Coats run from pale cream through to deep red gold, so this is a good page to try two or three tones of the same family: lightest on the chest and muzzle, deepest along the back and the ear feathering.

Those long tufts on the legs and tail have a name. Breeders call it feathering, and in retrievers it developed alongside the dense undercoat that lets the dogs work in cold water.
