On the coloring page, a beautiful mermaid with long, blonde hair is perched atop a rock in a tranquil ocean. She cradles a single, luminescent pearl in her hands. Her tail is a rainbow of brightly colored fish, adding a splash of color to the otherwise blue hued scene. This serene image provides a wonderful opportunity to practice color shading and mix. Try using warm and cool tones of the same color together to begin. Try to create an atmosphere of regal elegance with light colored blues, purples, and pinks. To give a greater sense of realism to the water around the mermaid, alternate between light blues and dark blues to reflect the way the light shimmers on the surface of the ocean. Finally, to finish, add some lighter touches of yellow and white to the pearl to make it sparkle.
