During the time of the discovery of America, sails made of sturdy canvas were crucial for covering long distances across the Atlantic. Young helpers were already taking on simple tasks like sewing the fabric pieces together so that the sails could later catch the wind. The material was mostly made of canvas or hemp, which was stretched over wooden frames. Natural dyes such as oak bark or plant extracts were used for coloring. The clothing of the helpers was often made of coarse linen in subdued colors like brown, gray, or ocher. The harbor atmosphere was created by baskets with tools and ship ropes next to wooden barrels. With your pencils, you can highlight various historical details while coloring – wooden planks in warm browns, sails in vanilla white, and clothing in warm earth tones.
