Start with the biggest regions, choose a small group of colors, and add detail only after the page already feels complete. Merrywick's bold-and-easy pages are designed so children can finish a picture without needing tiny precision tools.
Big shapes firstColor the character, sky, floor, or largest object before worrying about small accents.
