The Art of Dragon Scales

Coloring scales can be a delightful challenge! To give the dragon a realistic look, consider using multiple shades of one color to create depth and texture. Start with a light base and gradually add darker tones to highlight the intricate patterns of the scales. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal but also helps improve fine motor skills.

The castle’s stone walls can come alive with earthy tones like grays and browns. For a magical touch, experiment with blues or purples for the spires and windows. Encourage young artists to think about what colors might have decorated castles in fairy tales they've read or imagined.
