How to Color
Start with the fill-in on the badge of the USA in traditional red, white and blue or perform a dulling procedure in situations where the hue is washed out to light brownish tones during a my antique look. Add shading along the edges to provide a look of the aged/dimensional. The rays can either be colourized in alternating warm colours, i.e. yellows, oranges or light reds, or be simple with soft gradients. In the case of the clouds, the colour should be very light blue or soft greys to keep the background of the picture calm and airy. Children can opt with a bright mix of primary colours, whereas adults can introduce fine mixing to give the image a more retro appearance. The design also stands out of the page, courtesy of a light shadow behind the badge.
