Coloring tips for this golden retriever scene
- Use one main golden tone for the golden retriever, then add cream or light beige on the chest, legs, and face to suggest soft fur.
- Give each of the five puppies a slight change in shade so they are easy to tell apart while still matching the golden retriever.
- Color the grass in two or three greens, and leave a few lighter areas to keep the yard scene open and fresh.
- Use a fine-liner or a sharp coloring pencil for the small flower, the noses, and the eyes so these tiny details stay neat.
- If you print this printable on thicker paper, markers can work well on the larger golden retriever shapes without making the page feel too dark.
