Soldier Boots With Roses coloring page
Page with soldier shoes and straddling roses in colour. Memorable Memorial Day tribute design with big bold lines, simplistic forms and sentimental symbols.
The Soldier Boots With Roses colouring page gives a strong and moving homage to the fallen service members and combines symbolic imagery with the simple and easy to use design. Central to it is a pair of soldier boots, which is a classic symbol of sacrifice, remembrance, and honour. Both the flowers, whose images are gently placed next to the boots or in them, are roses, a flower of love, respect and undying gratitude. There is a slight flag wave in the background to put in a bit of patriotism without dominating the image and thus the symbolism represented by the boots and flowers is focused on. The clear outlines and freebare design make the page ideal both to children and adults. Small children are able to just colour the big shapes and young artists are able to add shading, texture, and detail to bring about a friendlier or emotional effect. This coloring page is suitable as a Memorial Day course of the curriculum, as an activity in the classroom, or a community remembrance day or as a form of self-reflection (Veterans Day) and allows participants to appreciate and be creative without making a lot of noise. Its simplicity brings in emotional appeal and it is a dignified manner of honouring the military personnel who served.
How to Color
Begin by painting the boots in a realistic earth tone i.e. brows, tans, grays or dull greens. Paint fading effects around seams, round shoes, and laces in order to add a depth and a texture. In case of the roses, rich reds, soft pinks or even white roses framed lightly in grey are to be used to pay a solemn tribute. Add green stems and leaves in order to create contrast in the design. The small flag line can be stained conventional red and blue, or avoided to stick to an aura of generousness by being stained light. Children can use simple colours that are very bright and adults can use a mix of gradients to create more emotional and smooth appearance. There is a faint shadow on the bottom of the feet that makes the scene look more real.
