This illustration invites us into a tender Christmas moment: a child, bundled up with a cozy winter hat, carefully lights a candle surrounded by holly leaves, with a peaceful church standing behind him under a starry sky. The scene radiates calm, warmth, and that quiet joy that often comes with the holidays. It’s a lovely opportunity to work with children on values like patience, hope, and caring. And because it brings together nature, architecture, and a human figure, it becomes a rich canvas for many different coloring techniques.

How to color the scene of the child lighting Christmas candles

Start with the night sky. A gradient from deep cobalt blue to a lighter sky blue or bluish gray near the horizon works beautifully. Adding tiny white dots with acrylic paint or a gel pen helps create brighter, magical stars. The candles shine best with warm tones—reds, golds, or even greens—to enhance the festive atmosphere. A touch of soft white or pale yellow around each flame suggests a gentle glow. You can blend the color with your fingertip or a cotton swab. Inside the flame, use a gradient that moves from white at the center to orange and then red at the edges.

The child’s clothing can feel warm and welcoming: a red or green coat and a striped hat. To give the hat volume, shade the folds with a slightly darker tone and keep small areas lighter to mimic light hitting the fabric. The skin can remain soft and natural, with a little rosy blush on the cheeks. Holly leaves work well with mixed greens: darker shades toward the inner areas and lighter tones toward the edges. If you have metallic pencils or glitter, the red berries look wonderful with a subtle sparkle.

Add gentle shadows beneath the candles, on the child’s face, and across the snowy ground to build depth. Colored pencils work well for precision, while watercolors or pastel chalks are excellent for large areas like the sky or background.
