Owl Perched on Gnarled Branch Coloring Page

Wing feathers flow downward in staggered sections, their curved edges following the owl's body contours from shoulder to tail in this coloring page. Rough bark wraps around the gnarled branch below, showing deep splits and raised knots where wood grain pushes through the surface. Smaller twigs jut upward at sharp angles from the main perch. Behind the bird, a full moon fills the right portion of the scene with its round shape. Build depth across the facial disc by applying darker browns or charcoal grays near each eye, then gradually lighten outward through the radiating feather patterns. Weathered branch texture needs varied earth tones-burnt umber in the crevices, lighter tans on raised bark ridges-to bring out its aged character. A pale yellow or soft orange wash gives the moon gentle warmth, while indigo or violet fills the surrounding night sky.
