Owl Coloring Ideas
There is no right or wrong way to enjoy these owl coloring pages, but if you want to take your art to the next level, we have a few owl coloring ideas that can help you enjoy your creations. Learn about shading, color theory, and more.
Use Shading
Shading can add a ton of dimension and interest to your owl coloring pages. This ties into mixing colors. The way you mix colors will result in tons of different shades, even if you use the same two colors every time. For example, while mixing blue and red to make purple, you can get a warm red-purple or a cool blue-purple depending on how you mix the colors. These are all shades of color. Experiment with your favorite colors to shade in your owl coloring pages.
Learn Color Theory
If you want to understand color, you should understand complementary colors. Complementary colors are pairs of colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel. The fact that they’re opposites means they really pop when you place them next to each other. For example, red and green can create a jarring, vibrant contrast when placed side by side.
You can use these concepts when working on your owl coloring pages. Choose your owl printables, then experiment with complementary colors to see how various colors look contrasted against each other.
Get Creative
That brings us to our most important owl coloring idea: Great creative! You can learn about color theory and shading, but in the end, you should have fun with these owl printables. Try something bold. Break the rules. Make your owls unnatural colors or stick to realism. It’s up to you in the end, and there’s no such thing as an ugly owl, so have fun!
