Nature for Adults coloring pages

About this coloring page

These nature pages slow the view down. Instead of a single floating flower or animal, each drawing follows a complete place: roots gripping the soil below an old oak, fern fronds around falling water, reflections crossing a mountain lake and small alpine flowers growing between stones. Fine natural structures give experienced colourists plenty to work with without turning the page into an abstract pattern. Bark, water, cloud, leaf and rock each respond differently to pencil pressure and layered colour, making the collection useful for practising texture as well as relaxing. The scenes move through several seasons and times of day, but avoid captions and artificial borders. Some pages reward a realistic palette; others, especially the moonlit birches and dragonfly pond, can carry more imaginative colour choices. Print at full size and begin with the broad sky or water shapes before working inward toward the smallest leaves.
