Santa Maria Ship

Junior Artist Ages 6 to 9 · Medium detail Level 3/5

Tested by kids aged 6 to 9

Columbus's iconic caravel, the Santa Maria, sails across wavy waters with billowing sails and a cross on her stern. Fluffy clouds drift overhead as this historic vessel cuts through the ocean, ready to explore new horizons. The detailed ship features multiple masts, rigging, and the characteristic square sails of 15th century exploration.

Coloring tip

Use browns and tans for the wooden hull and masts, then bring the sails to life with whites and creams. Color the water with blues and the sky with light blue, leaving the clouds white for contrast and making the ship stand out beautifully against the sea.
