This coloring page shows a scene from the beloved Russian folk tale "Ivanushka-fool", where Ivanushka has been turned into a donkey by a sorcerer. The boy stands in the middle of a grassy field, surrounded by wildflowers and tall grass, looking dejected and lost. To capture the sadness in the scene, I would use warm colors, such as gentle pinks and oranges for the background, to give a sense of the warmth of the day. For Ivanushka, use darker, muted colors like browns, teals and greens, to give an added sense of distress. Accentuate the bright colors of the surrounding flowers to enhance the desolation of Ivanushka, who stands at the center of all this color, lost and alone.
