Playing Soccer in the Rain Coloring Page

Rain is falling in long slanted strokes and this player has not stopped for it. The run is in full stride, the ball is traveling alongside, and two puddles have already formed on the ground. Matches are rarely called off for rain, and a wet pitch changes the game in ways worth mentioning: the ball skids faster and further, and players have to adjust every pass. Weather is the theme, so the page rewards an unusual palette. Grays and blues across the top turn the rain real, while the player stays bright underneath it, and that contrast is the whole picture. Leave the rain strokes themselves white and color the paper between them if the pencils are too heavy for fine lines. The puddles are closed shapes with ripple lines inside them, and a pale blue with the white ripples left showing looks like water immediately. The kit is simple, with no number and no badge, so it takes any two colors. Ages five and up, and a good page for an actual rainy afternoon.
