Tropical Rainforest

"Tropical Rainforest" invites you to color at a relaxed pace. Nature motifs are especially calming. The organic shapes of flowers, leaves, and landscapes encourage layering different shades. Feel free to look up a photo of the real subject first, but it's not required.

For the tropical rainforest, a layering approach works best: Start with light green tones for the background, then move to dark greens and olive shades for the middle layers. Use pastel tones for the vines and combine multiple green shades to create depth. The exotic birds deserve bright colors – red, orange, blue, and yellow – to make them stand out. Use fine colored pencils for the delicate details and work systematically from back to front to avoid overworking the details.
