A cozy village of houses with roofs and windows. Each picture has a different number of areas and colors, so you can pick anything from easy to detailed.

About village pictures

Village pictures show a row of three to six houses standing side by side on a strip of ground. Every house has walls, a triangular roof, two windows and a door, and round trees on slim trunks grow between them. A moon hangs in the sky above, giving the scene a quiet evening feeling.

Why roofs are triangles

The pointed roof is one of the first shapes many people learn to draw, and it reflects real buildings. A sloped roof lets rain and snow run off instead of collecting on top, which helps explain why pitched roofs appear in so many building traditions around the world. In a drawing, a triangle on top of a square instantly says "home."

Repetition with variety

Because each house follows the same plan but takes its own colors, a village picture has a pleasant rhythm: you can fill all the windows of one color at once, then the doors, then the roofs. Rows with more houses mean narrower walls and smaller windows, so detailed variations reward zooming in. The ground strip and sky are large and quick to fill. Village pictures also make a gentle choice for winding down; see our tips for calm coloring.
