Round-Eyed Owl on a Branch, Printable Birds Coloring Page

Coloring guide
This round little owl sits on a curved tree branch and looks right at you with a small smile. You'll see tufted ear feathers, two big circular eyes with shiny dots in the pupils, and a tiny triangle beak. Rows of scalloped feathers cover the belly, and two folded wings rest at its sides. The toes are rounded and wrap around the branch. A few leaves sprout from both ends, with a pair at the lower left and a couple on the right. Thick, clean lines and big open spaces keep things easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Warm browns and tans work well for the body, with soft cream on the belly scallops and a bright yellow or orange ring around the eyes. Green leaves will stand out against the brown branch.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Fill the owl's round belly with sandy beige, leaving the lower scalloped lines as the edges of each color patch.
- 2Color both wings with warm brown, working from the top edges down toward the tips.
- 3Color the three big leaves and the small leaf on the branch with leaf green, keeping the branch itself white.
- 4Fill the beak and the four toes on each foot with golden yellow, going carefully around the toe lines.
- 5Leave the eye whites and the small shine dots white, then fill the pupils in dark so the eyes pop.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes of warm brown along the wing feathers and the edges of the belly for a bit of depth.
