Geese Nest by Water Coloring Page

Two parent geese stand protectively beside their nest, where four downy goslings huddle together in a circular formation in this coloring design. Vertical cattails rise from the water's edge on either side of the family grouping, creating natural barriers that frame the composition. The adult birds display distinct wing feather patterns with layered sections, curved neck plumage, and webbed feet planted firmly on the ground, while the babies show rounded bodies with softer outline treatment. The parent geese need careful shading to distinguish their wing sections from body feathers-try darker grays or browns on the wings against lighter neck tones. Each gosling offers a chance to experiment with yellow-gray blends for that characteristic fluffy appearance, keeping them lighter than the adults to show their age difference. The cattails might use earthy browns with darker tips, while the water behind them could feature blues or greens that contrast with the warmer bird tones.
