BTS Boat Coloring

This uses the same flood-fill colouring engine as the other colouring titles in the catalog, and the honest summary is that it is that activity with a boat subject. Closed regions divide the picture, a tap floods one with the selected colour, and there is no way to go outside the lines — so the whole activity is colour selection. Boats have a moderate region count: more than a simple animal, fewer than a mechanical vehicle. The choices that read best come from thinking about neighbouring regions together, and fills being reversible means experimenting costs nothing.

This title is best suited to young children who like boats and want to make colour choices without motor precision.

1. Select a colour, then tap a region to fill it.
2. Fill large areas like the hull and water first, then the details.
3. Think about adjacent regions together; contrast between neighbours makes the picture read.
4. Move to a new picture when finished; nothing carries over.

• Tap a palette colour, then tap a region to fill it

Objectives

• Colour each boat scene however you like
• No target result to match

The run ends or fails when

• None — fills are reversible and cannot be done wrong

• Closed-region flood filling requiring no brush skill
• Fixed palette as the creative variable
• Reversible fills enabling experimentation
• A finite set of boat line-art pictures

• Fill the big areas first; choosing the hull and water early anchors the detail colours.
• Think in neighbours. Contrast between adjacent regions is what makes a picture read.
• Fills are reversible, so try a scheme and change it freely.
