Three-Masted Pirate Ship With Skull Flag and Seagull

Coloring guide
Over wavy water sails a three-masted ship with big square sails, and a skull-and-crossbones flag flies from the tallest mast. Two smaller pennant flags wave from the other masts. Look closely for little things to color, like the arched windows on the back cabin, round portholes along the wooden hull, a curly decoration at the bow and an anchor near the front. A seagull glides in the upper left, and a sun with short rays shines in the upper right. Small hands can fill the big open sails easily, while the rigging and plank lines keep older kids busy. Cream or pale yellow sails, warm brown for the hull and a bright blue sky would work well. Print it free for a pirate party, a rainy afternoon or classroom story time.

- 1Fill the wooden parts of the ship, including the hull, masts, bowsprit and deck railings, with wood brown. Leave the white gaps between the parts unpainted.
- 2Color the sails with cream white, keeping the thin sail lines and seams as they are in the drawing.
- 3Paint the skull flag and its black flag area with soft black, and leave the white skull and crossbones unpainted.
- 4Use golden yellow for the stern stripe, the top rail, the bow curl, the bowsprit tip and the anchor, then add bright red to the two pennants and amber orange to the top of the crow's nest.
- 5Color the sun with golden yellow and the seagull in white, keeping its wings and body unpainted.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker brown along the lower hull and under the sails for a bit of shadow and depth.
