Coloring tips for this turtle printable

Use a deeper green on the turtle shell and a lighter tan or beige on the turtle’s skin so the body parts stay easy to see.
Shade the rock with light gray or beige first, then add a slightly darker edge beneath the turtle for a simple shadow.
Make the sun rays bright yellow and keep the clouds pale blue or very light gray so the turtle scene stays open and soft.
Color the bushes in a darker green than the grass in the foreground to give the turtle picture a clear sense of depth.
If you use markers, start with the large turtle shell sections and grass shapes, then finish the smaller face and feet areas with care.
