Color choices

This research vessel drifts through icy waters, its crew using binoculars to watch whales breach nearby. Try a bright color for the ship’s hull, and a contrasting shade for the crane and antenna rising from its deck. Give the breaching whales a deep gray-blue, with a lighter tone along their bellies and fins. Fill the distant mountains with cool blue-gray, and keep the floating ice chunks a crisp white.

Compare whale skin and icy water

Color the whale’s skin first, then use a contrasting palette for the icy water and ice floes.

Before you print

Research Vessel Studying Whales in Icy Ocean Waters Coloring Page has about 277 separate areas to color, so it is a detailed page. Sharpened colored pencils or fine-tip markers reach the small spaces, and it is easy to color one section at a time.

The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
