A fabulous flamingo in a riot of colour!

Works of art with the Colour Happy Box

This artistic piece will delight not only fans of flamingoes, but also a huge number of drawing enthusiasts. The new Colour Happy Boxes open up a seemingly endless array of colours for drawing, colouring and brush lettering. Big or small, you can now create your own works of art in the most gorgeous colours. Inside every Colour Happy Big Box is the new Pastel Pen – Soft White fibre pen, allowing you to conjure up beautiful pastel shades. Vibrant red, for instance, can be instantly transformed into dusty pink which, in turn, can be made even lighter by repeatedly applying the Pastel Pen. Why not give it a try!

Step-by-step

Step 1

The flamingo image is formed by linking lots of individual triangles together. First, draw the outline of the flamingo in pencil. Fill in the outline with triangles of all sizes. Some areas can be completed with squares instead, or other geometric shapes.

Step 2

Using the brushpens, colour in the pattern any way you like. We chose mainly pink and red tones to match the colour of flamingoes. To finish, colour the beak in black, and don’t forget to add the eye.

Step 3

You can lighten the colour of individual triangles with the Pastel Pen – Soft White. The more times you colour over an area, the more pastel the original shade becomes. Your picture is now ready to be hung on the wall or given as a present!
