Parrot Painter at an Easel Coloring Page

About this page

Dressed in nothing but feathers, a parrot at the lower left stands upright and holds a thin paintbrush up toward a blank canvas on a wooden easel. The easel has three legs, a flat ledge for the canvas and a small block on top. In front of the easel sits a round cup of paint with drips running down its rim. The parrot's beak is open in a smile, its head crest lifts back, and the wing and tail feathers are drawn in layered scallops. Since the canvas is empty, it invites you to paint the picture the parrot is making. The scene is open and balanced, with the bird on one side and the easel on the other. The medium difficulty works for kids who enjoy art-themed pages with something to finish.
