Canyon Rock Layers Coloring Page

Horizontal sediment bands stretch across towering cliff faces, creating natural striping patterns from the canyon rim down to the river valley below for this coloring page. The winding waterway carves through jumbled boulders that range from small rocks to large rounded masses clustered along the riverbanks. Each geological layer shows distinct separation lines, giving you clear zones to work with different earth tones throughout this nature illustration. The rock strata need contrasting shades to show depth-try burnt sienna for some layers, tan for others, and gray tones for variation between bands. The river section could use blue-green blends or even dry brown tones if you imagine a desert stream. Scattered boulders benefit from darker shading on their lower portions to show where they rest on the ground, while the water surface might feature white pencil highlights to suggest movement.
