Turtle Among River Stones Coloring Page

Hexagonal plates cover the turtle's domed shell in a geometric arrangement, each segment outlined for individual coloring. The turtle's flippers extend outward with visible scale textures, and its head shows a slightly upturned expression. Smooth river stones ranging from small pebbles to large rounded rocks create layers around the reptile, while tall plant stems with simple leaf clusters rise vertically through the composition. The shell segments need different brown tones to create depth-try burnt sienna on the center plates and raw umber along the edges. Each river stone could use varying shades of gray, tan, or even blue-gray to suggest river-worn surfaces. The plant stems might use forest green at the base transitioning to lighter spring green at the tips, while the turtle's skin could blend olive and moss tones for a natural underwater appearance.
