Unicorn Painting a Rainbow Coloring Page

About this page

Standing on its hind legs, a unicorn paints at a wooden easel, holding a long brush in one hoof. The canvas on the right is propped on an easel with a clamp on top, a shelf at the bottom, and three splayed legs. Painted on the canvas is a banded rainbow, though the right end is not finished yet, which suggests the artist is still working. The unicorn looks toward its work with large shiny eyes, its striped horn pointing up and a small bow-like ear tuft showing behind the head. The mane runs in loose waves down the neck and the tail swings out low on the left. The canvas, easel and animal are clearly separate, so each can be colored on its own. This medium page suits kids who enjoy art themes.
