River in Canyon Coloring Page

Curved canyon walls rise on both sides with parallel horizontal lines marking ancient sediment layers stacked from water level to rim on this coloring sheet. The river meanders in an S-shape through the center, its flowing water represented by wavy lines that suggest current and movement. Rounded boulders cluster along the banks and partially submerged in the stream, each one a different size with some showing crack patterns across their surfaces. The stratified rock layers need gradual value shifts to show depth-try making each band slightly darker than the one above it using tan, rust, or ochre tones. Shading the water with blues or greens in the deeper curves while leaving white highlights where light hits the surface creates realistic flow. The boulders benefit from directional shading that follows their rounded forms, with shadows cast underneath where they meet the riverbed or shore.
