The coloring page is of a scene from a Russian folk tale. Two small children, a boy and a girl, are running towards the left of the page, with scared expressions and eyes wide open, presumably away from something or someone. Following them close behind is and looking quite menacing, is an old man with a long grey beard and clothing that suggests he comes from a much earlier century. His expression is of anger, and his hands are reaching forward, as if he is intending to grab the children. Colors can be used to bring out the emotion of this scene, with shades of grey and browns to create a sinister feel. The fear of the children can be depicted through bright oranges and pinks that could be used to show the danger of the situation. The angry old man could be portrayed in darker hues of blues and blacks that create an atmosphere of nightmare-like proportions. In short, by making use of a wide range of colors, this scene could become one of fear, tension and suspense that perfectly conveys the story depicted by this coloring page.
