Autumn Oak Tree Coloring Page

Gnarled branches extend in all directions from the central trunk, each limb tapering into smaller twigs that create a complex network against the sky for this coloring page. Vertical grooves run down the bark surface, while individual oak leaves-some still attached to branches, others scattered across the forest floor-display the characteristic lobed edges. Rolling terrain stretches behind the oak, with smaller background trees positioned at different distances to establish layers in this woodland setting. The trunk's bark texture needs vertical hatching or cross-hatching to create realistic depth in the grooves and ridges. Try warm autumn tones like burnt sienna, amber, and russet for the fallen leaves, mixing different shades to keep each one distinct from its neighbors. Background trees could use lighter, cooler tones-perhaps misty blues or pale purples-to push them visually away from the darker foreground oak.
