Understanding Rowing Equipment
Rowing involves specific gear depending on the type of boat. In competitive crew racing, athletes use long, narrow boats called racing shells. The rowers face backward, using long oars to propel the boat forward.
Some of our pages show a quad scull, where four rowers each use two oars. You will also see sweep rowing, where each athlete handles a single larger oar. Kids coloring the crew teams can learn to spot the coxswain, the person who steers the boat and keeps the rhythm.
Coloring Water and Racing Scenes
Bringing these river and lake scenes to life requires just a few shades of blue and green. When coloring the water, use darker blues near the boat to show shadows and lighter shades for the ripples created by the oars.
For the competitive boats, bright colors like red, yellow, or carbon-fiber gray make the sleek racing shells stand out against the water. The classic wooden rowboats look best with layered browns and tans to show the wood grain.
