In this coloring page, we see a brother and sister depicted in a beautiful Russian folktale. The brother and sister can be seen walking in the forest when they encounter a deer. The brother has killed the deer and the sister is holding a cup of its blood. Suddenly, the brother is transformed into a stone statue, and the sister is weeping over him. Her tears fall into the cup of blood and miraculously, the brother is turned back into a human being.
To bring this story to life, you could use colors that represent magic, life and nature. You could mix purples, blues, and greens for the forest, and oranges and yellows for the deer. In the background introduce a pink or a yellow to symbolize the magic of the story. Represent the stone statue with shades of grey to convey its inanimate state, and choose a deep red or maroon for the spilled blood. Finally, to add impact to the story, try adding a glossy effect to the cup of blood, to show that it holds something special.
