The Group of Seven

In this coloring book, you will find 22 paintings of lakes, forests, and mountains by Thomson and the Group of Seven. They are shown as small pictures on the inside front and back covers. You will notice that the painters did not try to make a painting that looked like a photograph. Instead, they used bold brush strokes and simple shapes to tell the story of what it felt like to be in that place. When you color in these pictures, you can either try to copy the original colors and style, or you might decide to use your own. The last page of this book is blank so that you can draw and color in your own picture. Find a hill, a group of trees, or a row of houses, and see if you can capture them on the page.
