The two dogs in the coloring page are distinctly different. The first is a lady dog, its fur a beautiful light tan, adorned with a fancy collar sparkling with jewels. The second is a tramp dog, much bigger with a ruddy coat, no collar in sight. The two dogs gaze at each other with a longing look, their expression almost as though there is an unspoken connection between them.
Bringing this page to life could begin by painting the fur of the lady dog with a soft pastel or gentle gradient. To emphasize the elegance of the dog, the fancy collar could be made more vivid with a bright shade of blue and with golden highlights picked out. Alternatively, the tramp dog could be given more earthy colors, perhaps blending auburn, brown and orange in its coat to give it more of a wild look. To emphasize their differences, a defining gray or black color could be used for the tramp dog’s collar-less neck. Finally, their mutual longing could be highlighted with a light smattering of stars above them or around their feet.
