Color choices

This steamboat chugs along a wide river, sending smoke up from its tall stacks beside rows of cotton fields. Try a warm brown for the steamboat’s wooden hull, and a contrasting shade for the large paddlewheel at its side. Give the cotton fields a soft, pale color, layering rows of plants stretching toward the horizon. Keep the river a cool blue, and let the drifting smoke and clouds above stay light and soft.

Color the river and sky

Color the wavy river lines with blue tones, then fill the sky clouds with light gray or white.
