Palm Tree by the Sea

Leaning out over the sand, this curved palm tree brings a tropical feeling to the page. Broad feathery leaves spread from the top alongside a couple of coconuts, while gentle waves roll in behind and a round sun and a few birds fill the sky. The long curved trunk and the open sun make easy shapes for younger colorists, and the feathery leaves give older kids lots of lines to follow for a more detailed look. Palm trees grow tall and bend in the sea breeze, and their coconuts hold sweet water inside that is safe to drink. Greens for the leaves, brown for the trunk, and a warm yellow sun are a natural fit, though a sunset-colored sky works beautifully too. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let the leaves sway in your brightest greens.
