Color choices

An elephant calf splashes through a muddy watering hole, droplets flying up around its trunk. Color the calf’s skin a warm gray and use a darker muddy brown for the water and wet ground beneath it. Try soft green for the cattails and grasses growing along the edge of the hole. Leave a few of the splashing droplets pale to catch the light against the darker water.

Compare water and mud textures

Color the water and mud splashes first, then use a darker palette for the elephant’s skin and the grassy surroundings.
