Digital example: Brown river otter beside green reeds

1. Warm brown — otter body, paws and tail
2. Sage green — tall leaves on the left

Color the head, body, legs and tail brown, leaving muzzle pads, nose, inner ears and claw tips white.
Fill only the tall pointed leaves on the left green; leave the cattail heads and thin stalks white.

The whiskers stay clear against the white muzzle; the stream, stones and other grass remain white.
