I’m going to tell you a secret.
So few people know that I want to tell you about. Leonardo Da Vinci definitely knew, Picasso also. Only the most talented and impassioned artists know about it all around the world and so soon you will discover too.I’m confident that you have seen a lot of drawings in your life. There are no two similar ones and each really worth picture is hiding its own world. No, no, it’s not just metaphor, real creatures are living inside each masterpiece of art which is exhibited in the best museums and galleries all over the world.
Don’t believe? Well, I’ll prove you. Let me to guide you to the gallery. We’re already here. A huge number of incredible paintings around us, each hides its own small world. I’ll show you my favorite in which we’ll manage to see all diversity of the creatures that live inside.

Our heroes are getting close to the excellent picture. It is written by really gifted artist: such appropriate and active combination of colors that create an incredible landscape. On the scene of bright blue sky, green forest and blurry purple mountains far way is the small white hut. The ground before it is filled with bright red and pink roses and rich yellow sunflowers. When you look at this picture, you’re already there, among fresh mountain air flooded with smell of grass, flowers and calmness. But you can find out even more if you take a closer look into the world of drawing you will see a lot more.

In the Paint town a new day is beginning and the colors start waking up. Somebody in the Sky district, the biggest district in this small town crank the engine of the car. Maybe this color has to drive long enough so that he goes out in the such early hours. Somewhere in the Greenery district is heard a scream:
- Children, you have to wake up not to be late!
- I’ll be on my feet in a few minutes – answers sleepy boy’s voice
Roger Green opens his eyes and, trying to chase drowsiness away, jumps from the bed. Roger is a handsome boy with blonde hair and vivid green, just like emeralds, eyes. He is dressed in the gently green pajama decorated by leaves. He takes the blanked, that is light-green colored (not surprising) and covers his bright green bed with it. He takes the phone to send a message: “Morning, my snow queen. I’ll be at 8 a.m, so hurry up”.
In the one house in the center of the town, the Hut district, on the snow-shite table the phone starts vibrating.
- Why so soon, I’ve been sleeping only few hours – says doomed voice from under the blanket.
Small delicate hand with silvery-white manicure takes the phone from the table.
- What!? It’s 7:30 o’clock. Why he didn’t wake me up earlier.
The ticklish figurine of the beautiful girl with difficulty climbs from the bed.
- It definitely was a mistake to read such a long time…
The girl has blonde, almost white, hair, bright blue eyes and very pale shining skin. She hurries to the bathroom and after few minutes comes back into the room. The walls of the room are such white that blind the eyes. There are a lot of drawings in there: all performed with pastel colors. The white shelfs are full of romantic literature and on the table are casted a lot of overwritten papers.
Giny White opens the wardrobe and takes a small white dress from there. When she puts it on she becomes similar to the light cloud. She comes up to the mirror and pours cosmetics things on the table. “Pasty like a ghost” thinks she applying pink blush on her cheeks. After that she uses light blue shadows on her eyelids, retrieves silver earrings and pendant and she’s ready.
Giny hears the sound of engine outside and runs down stairs.
- Good bye, mom – says she and sends an air kiss, shoes white footwear with small heels and goes out the house.
Each morning, when Roger picks her up, she thinks how unsuitable looks his bright green car among snowy white houses and roads, like a fresh summer leave among ice and snow.
She gets in the car and says:
- Hey!
- Hey, you are looking tired at all.
- I was reading late, just forgot about time. The book you rated to me is incredible, just can’t stop reading.
They are discussing the book when the views outside the window change from the snowy white to emerald green, dirty brown and, finally, deep purple ones.
The school is in the Mountain district. It is the richest district in the town, the colors who live here are the most respected and intelligent in the town. They know their worth and know that it’s in their blood – to be like kings and quins. A lot of other inhabitants of the town envy of them and want to be similar to them. It’s often case that Red and Blue colors get married without love just to make their children to be violet and live among success and wisdom in their future. Violets and Purples relate to it calmly. Their mission is to make the town better and better for next generations and their successfully deal with this task.
Roger and Giny leave the car and are directed to the school. Suddenly they hear the loud sound of coming engine. Bright orange, just like flame, car appears on the parking. The company of three get out it. It’s the top of school, everybody wants to associate with them but they speak only with the same colors but there is so small amount of such in the school (and in the town in general). David Orange, Samantha Red and Daniel Black. David has flaming red hair and so tenacious, attentive, keen sight as a hawk. He’s dressed in the leather coat and pant in the orange color. He always wears high-strength grin on his face as if laughs on everyone who comes along. Orange is tall and broad-shouldered like a big stone rock that can destroy all the ocean waves interfere it.
Samantha is also tall and has very beautiful shape as a sand clock. Her dark wavy hair falls with belts to the waist. Samantha’s make up is very active and colored by red lipstick lips is very expressive, talking a new joke. She’s wearing bright red dress that highlights her perfect body and high maroon heels, that perfectly suit to her maroon handbag. She looks like predator who’s looking for a new victim and is always ready to a sharp jump
The third of the company, Daniel, is opposition of his friends. He’s so calm, self-confident. It looks like he`s bored of all world and all people in here. His eyelids are slightly lowered as if he’s too lazy to keep his eyes opened. His black jeans and simple black t-shirt say that it is unimportant for him what will others think about him. It’s only important what he thinks about others.
One more girl comes up to the company. Her name is Valery Violet, the most intelligent and handsome girl in the school. All prize-winning places of school contests were her. She has long shiny-black hair, big dark eyes and very pale skin with no imperfections. She is dressed in the violet shorts and purple light blouse that is tied on the waist, opening athletic stomach. The snickers on her legs are also violet. She is the girl of average height but looks on the world like from above.
The group of these fourth laughing enters the school. Big purple clock declares with its big bark-violet arrow that its 8:25 a.m. and all the students need to hurry up for the lesson.
The first class is “The History of the Picture”. The task for students was to prepare a presentation about the history of their color (and its shades). Roger and Giny enter the class. Oh, what the incredible diversity of colors is inside of the classroom. Girls and boys, bright yellow, dark grey, pink girl looking just like Barbie and so on. But the most common color in the clothes of the student is blue: bright blue, deep blue with blotches of purple and green, turquoise. About ten couples of blue, like sapphire, eyes are waiting for the beginning of the lesson.
Madam Blue enters the room and greets the students. Her dress has the light blue or purple color. It seems that this dress was bought in the Purple section but it has slowly turned to blue because of the core identity of madam Blue. It is specialty of color differentiation. Colors can’t wear clothing of another color. If they do, the thing will slowly become the suitable tone. Madam Blue said her grandma were purple and she has no idea why her clothing immediately turns blue. She is one of those who found the Red man for herself (it is worth noting that Red population of the Paint town is very small because the artist has used so small amount of red paint in there).
- So, students, we can start our speeches. And the first who will present the project for us will be Matilda Brown – says madam Blue looking at the piece of paper.
Small, shy figurine with lower head stands up from the chair and nervously hiding her sight comes up to the teacher. Matilda is the girl with swarthy skin and light-brown hair. Her beautiful browny-orange, like amber, eyes nervously run across the room. Other features of her face is unexpressive and ordinary: small straight nose and narrow light-pink lips. He is dressed in formless t-shirt and brown pants. It seems, that her t-shirt has been bright-yellow this morning, but now it became so dirty colored and will become brown so soon.
- I want to tell you about the Browns – she speaks so quietly and inaudible almost whispering – My genus was here from the beginning of our town’s history. We live in the Tree district, together with lots of Greens. There is 11,2 percent of Browns in our city population…
- Oh yeah, so lots of such beetles like you. Too lots, in my opinion – says David Orange loudly
The tears are filling up Miranda’s eyes. She gets red because of anger and powerlessness. She always wanted to be another color. She constantly trying to wear clothing of other colors, hoping that somewhere, in her family were somebody of other shade, but always her clothes turn brown again.
- What we would do without them. Somebody has to work the land and do other kinds of dirty work – continues taunting Samantha Red
- Be quiet guys! – says Valery Violet – you can’t bully her for the color, she hadn’t chosen it.
But was too late. Matilda, crying, leaves out the classroom.
- You are just unbearable sometimes – says Valery irritably standing up.
- Come on, Valery. It makes some fun.
Roger and Giny run out of the classroom Matilda vosled.
- Mat! Mat! – screams Roger looking for Matilda. These three were friends always but the kings always bulled only Brown. Green is able to answer the bulling and White is so smart to be upset by empty mockeries and the kings become boring trying to annoy her.
Matilda is sitting on the another side of the corridor crying.
- Mad, don’t pay your attention on these foolish creatures. They don’t worth – says Roger calmly approaching to her
- They are right, I’m just like beetle. If only I were a little brighter, more noticeable, like they, like you.
- You are incredible kind person, Matilda. They just get angry because an artist didn’t use them so much. Their colors are getting vanish and we, we will remain. Without us, without each color that artist has used in his work the picture wouldn’t be so beautiful. You should understand that each district has its own role in the existing of the whole town. Imagine, what would be the drawing, if there were ONLY red and orange colors.
