Hawk Coloring Page (2 of 4)

A hawk spreads its wings wide on a branch, with every feather drawn separately. Coloring the rows one by one is wonderfully absorbing, and the mountains behind give you space for soft blues.

About the Hawk

Hawks are keen-eyed birds of prey, with a sharp hooked beak, strong talons and broad wings built for soaring. Their feathers lie in neat bands of brown, cream and gold, and their steady, watchful gaze gives them an air of quiet dignity.

Across many cultures the hawk is admired as a symbol of clear sight and good fortune, and its bold, uplifting shape has long been a favourite subject for artists. That noble character makes the hawk a rewarding bird to color.

Benefits as a Coloring & Brain Training Activity

For coloring, working along the rows of feathers one band at a time is absorbing and satisfying, and layering browns, tans and gold brings real depth to the plumage. The branches, pines and distant mountains around the bird give the eye somewhere to rest, and filling them in a little at a time gently engages the mind.
