Coloriage Moineau (3 sur 4)

Browns are the heart of a Moineau - a warm Châtaigne on the back and crown, a soft cream below - with a neat black bib at the throat and a small dark patch on the cheek. Keeping the breast pale and rounded makes the bird look plump and cozy. Color it however pleases you.

À propos du Moineau

The Moineau is one of the most familiar birds anywhere, a small, sociable creature that lives close to people and gathers in lively flocks. In the cold months it fluffs out its feathers to keep warm, taking on the plump, rounded look the Japanese affectionately call fukura-suzume, and its bright chirping near the eaves has long been part of the sound of an ordinary day.

In Japan that puffed-up winter Moineau is treated as a lucky shape, an emblem of a full and prosperous life, and it appears in traditional patterns and kimono designs as a small wish for good fortune. That warm, everyday familiarity is shared across every generation, which makes the Moineau a gentle and welcoming subject to color.

For coloring, the Moineau rewards attention to small details - the streaks of the wing, the neat bib at the throat, the soft round breast. Working those little markings is good, gentle practice for a steady hand, and keeping the breast pale and plump is a pleasant exercise in light and shade. The result is a charming small page that is easy to finish and nice to display.
