Desert Cactus at Dusk Coloring Page

Vertical ridges run continuously down the main trunk and each branch of the tall saguaro, creating parallel lines that give the cactus its characteristic columned appearance on this coloring sheet. The enormous sun sits low in the sky behind the cactus, positioned to create dramatic backlighting opportunities. Desert rocks of varying sizes cluster around the base, mixing angular and rounded shapes that contrast with the cactus's upright form. The ridged cactus texture needs consistent shading along each vertical channel to build dimensional form-try darker greens in the grooves and lighter yellows along the raised edges. You could render the sunset sky using warm gradients from deep orange near the sun to purple or pink at the upper edges. The rocky ground might feature earth tones like burnt sienna, ochre, and gray to establish the arid landscape setting.
