TIME FOR TEA AND COLORED PENCILS
Teapot Robot Coloring Page
A smiling teapot with boots and a spoon almost as tall as itself. Print this little robot sitting on a book and explore three different finishes: pale ceramic, shiny metal and a colorful book cover.
Start with the lid or vest: two small areas where you can try your color combination.

nievesfeg’s version: turquoise, pink and a red book
Turquoise repeats across the lid, vest and lower body. Soft pinks keep the teapot light, while the red cover makes the book stand out. Notice how the golden tones connect the eyes and boots.
Leaving white space is part of coloring
You do not have to cover the entire face. Try a very light layer of pink or lilac near the edges and beneath the lid, leaving the center almost white. That small contrast helps the teapot look rounded.

Three small details to practice
Soft ceramic
Use light pressure and small circles to avoid streaks. Build up the shadow beneath the lid and where the spout joins the head, keeping a light area on the face.
A shiny spoon
Leave a white strip along the handle. Add a darker gray beside it and soften it toward the edge. This contrast is more effective than filling the entire spoon with gray.
A book that stands out
Choose a stronger color for the cover and keep the pages light. Add a few fine lines along the page edges, varying their strength.
Another version: an aged-metal teapot
The “Verdigris mail” creative palette
This Lightfast combination from the Atlas brings together greens, turquoises and a pale highlight. Try it on the lid, handle and joints to imagine an old metal robot. It includes Turquoise Green and Peridot (Blue), two colors used in nievesfeg’s example; the full palette is an alternative suggestion, not her materials list.

Try your colors before you start
Test pink beside turquoise and try leaving a white strip between two grays for the spoon. Record your favorite combinations on the chart before starting the drawing.
