Color choices
This hippopotamus peeks out from a calm river, with only its rounded head visible above the water’s surface. Try a soft gray or purple for the hippo’s rounded head and ears poking above the ripples. Color the calm water in soft blues, keeping a lighter shade near the hippo to show reflection. Use deep green for the cattails and bushes lining the distant riverbank.
Compare water and land
Color the water first with a light blue, then use a warm brown for the hippo’s skin and ears.
