Color choices

Tapir can begin with warm brown or charcoal across the broad body, leaving the belly slightly lighter. Color the smaller tapir with soft tan, cream stripes, and dark spots. Use deep greens for the broad leaves and grasses, with earthy brown on the tree trunk and stones. Finish the river in pale blue, using darker ripples and a sandy ochre bank for contrast.

Riverbank Color Story

Color the riverbank in changing shades from the tree trunk to the water, then use the finished scene as the setting for a short jungle journey story.
