American Shorthair Playing with Butterflies coloring page
The playful American Shorthair that is running after butterflies in this detailed coloring page is suitable to be colored by the cat lovers and those on nature themes coloring fun.
The American Shorthair coloring page caught in the act of Playing with Butterflies depicts the playful and inquisitive disposition of this popular breed of cat in the natural environment. These American Shorthairs are well-built, round-faced and sporting traditional tabby markings, not to mention attractive and with personality to spare. Here we see the cat do a graceful leap during play, with paws outstretched toward butterflies flitting about in the high grass and amid wildflowers and summer winds. The linework is so loose yet so beautiful that it makes me want to color the page because it has life in the Cat fur, the butterfly wings, and the flowing of the grass. And it is ideal when one wants to combine beauty of animals with the amazing nature of whimsical character, and it is a sort of balance of details and spaces of free imagination.
How to Colour With fur, the American Shorthair can be the traditional silver-gray with darker-colored stripes to represent a traditional tabby or go wild with orange tabby, calico or even a tuxedo look. To bring realism, blend the lighter bits of the belly, paws, and face. In the butterflies, try a monarch with bright vivid orange and black, a morpho with blue and white or soft yellows and pinks to give that springtime effect. The flora would be able to be painted warm colors like the reds, the yellows, pinks, and purples with the grass and stems using layered green to create a sense of depth. In the case of sky, select the soft gradient of light-blue into white by the horizon, or warm sunset color of peach, pink, and lavender color that is dreamy. Colored pencils are ideal when doing some soft blending on fur and sky, and fine-tip markers can help in getting some wings on butterfly and details on flowers.
