Coloring tips for this bear scene
- Use two shades of brown on the bear to shape the body, with a darker tone under the belly and near the legs.
- Color the river with light blue first, then add deeper blue bands beside the bear to suggest moving water.
- Try several gray tones on the rocks near the bear so each stone stands out clearly.
- Keep the trees behind the bear a little darker than the grass in front to make the bear stand out.
- Use a light blue sky and leave parts of the clouds white to keep the bear scene bright and open in the printable pdf.
