This scene is perfect for wintertime coloring. Set in a cold, wintry landscape, a group of children sit around a man dressed in a traditional Russian folk costume. He is telling the children a captivating story, and they are all mesmerised by it. There's snow on the ground and trees frosted with a winter sprinkle. Make the snow sparkle and glimmer by using silver and white highlighting, and add blues and purples for a more magical feel. The man’s costume can be colorful and bright for its contrast with the landscape. Vibrant greens, reds and oranges can be used to bring life to the tale. The children can add pops of warm colors with pink and yellow pieces in their clothing, while the trees in the background can be decorated with brown and black to further emphasize the cold.
