A child in a bobble hat stands at an easel, brush in hand, painting a little Christmas tree with a star and baubles on the canvas, a pot of paint on the floor beside them. A picture inside a picture, and kids get the joke: the tree on the canvas is a painting, so it can be purple with orange baubles if that is what the young artist decides. The room around it stays in plain everyday colors, which makes the canvas pop. Children who already like to draw take to this Christmas drawing to color. A tree with no frame around it: the big Christmas tree.
Coloring ideas for this page
- Blue coat against a green canvas, so the painting jumps forward.
- Two browns on the easel legs, the darker one where they cross.
