Colors for this page
A handled lantern sits between three acorns, creating a cozy arrangement of rounded and ribbed forms. The flame provides one small bright focal point.
- Lantern bronze
- Acorn brown
- Flame yellow
A suggested palette; it does not have to match the example exactly.
- Color the lantern frame and handle bronze.
- Fill the three acorns brown, using a lighter brown on their caps.
- Place yellow in the flame and leave the lantern glass white.
A simpler way to color
Skip shading and use bronze for the lantern, brown for all acorns, and yellow for the flame.
Level of detail: The centered lantern and three acorns have wide, clearly separated shapes.
Talk about it: If this lantern were lighting an evening path, what might be just beyond its glow?
