Layered Canyon Walls Coloring Page

Towering rock walls frame both sides of this canyon scene, with dozens of horizontal sediment lines stacking from bottom to top like geological pages in a book in this coloring design. Massive rounded boulders cluster across the foreground, each one showing smooth curves and shadowed crevices where they rest against the ground. The river curves through the middle distance, its banks defined by clear edges that separate water from rocky terrain. The stratified canyon walls need warm earth tones in varied bands-try burnt sienna, ochre, and terracotta in alternating layers to show different rock ages. Shading the boulder undersides with darker grays or browns creates weight and dimension, while the river could shift from deep teal in shadows to pale turquoise where light hits. The repetitive horizontal lines throughout this design make it calming to fill with color, as you work methodically across each geological layer.
