Mountains coloring pages

Three snowy peaks rise behind a little log cabin with a brick chimney, a door and a window, tucked beside round bushes. On the lake in front, a sailboat with a small flag floats on gentle waves, and pine trees stand on the grassy hill. Big, thick-lined shapes make it a perfect lakeside page for children aged about 2 to 5. Suggest blue for the water, white tips on the mountains and a warm brown for the logs. Chunky crayons or washable markers will cover the large areas quickly.

A quiet mountain lake sits at the heart of this page. A log cabin with a stone chimney and paned windows stands on the shore beside rounded rocks, and a sailboat glides across the water toward a line of pine trees. Jagged snowy peaks, a round sun and three clouds fill the sky, with a tall fir framing the left side. A nice step up for kids around 5 to 10. Try blending two blues on the lake, darker near the shore and lighter toward the middle, to suggest the reflection of the sky.

A proud stag with branching antlers stands on the rocks in the foreground of this alpine lake scene. Across the water a sailboat drifts past a log cabin with a stone chimney and a wooden dock, while waterfalls spill from cliffs below jagged peaks. Tall firs frame the left edge, and daisies and lupines crowd the rocky shore. With fine lines and lots of texture, it suits older kids and adults. Colored pencils shine here: keep the peaks in cool grays and violets and warm up the stag with layered browns and tan.

Tucked among tall pines, a log cabin with a stone chimney and a wide porch overlooks a calm mountain lake. A wooden dock reaches into the water, a sailboat floats nearby, and a waterfall pours down the far cliffs below jagged peaks, swirling clouds and a radiant sun. In the foreground, an antlered deer stands among the trees, a small bird perches on a rock and a rabbit sits beside a bank of flowers. Every surface is textured, so it suits experienced adult colorists. Go for alpine blues and forest greens, with warm honey tones on the cabin.
