Pelican and fish coloring page

Pelican perched on a rock with a fish in its beak, eyes closed as it relishes the fish's struggle to escape. #animalencounter
This coloring page depicts a pelican perched on a rock with a fish in its beak. The struggling fish flips around, desperately trying to wriggle out of the bird's beak. The pelican's eyes are closed in contentment, almost as if it enjoys the game of catch-and-release with its prey. Coloring this picture could be quite an interesting challenge. To emphasize more of a lighthearted feel, one could use bright pastel colors--baby blues, marshmallowy-pinks, and soft yellows. To take it in a more natural direction, one could use tones of white, gray, brown, and black. To achieve a more abstract look, one could opt for contrasting colors like muted purples and fiery oranges. Whichever route one takes, this picture can make for a delightful coloring experience!
