This coloring page depicts two intrepid figures in a mysterious forest. Merida, the brave and daring princess, carries a bow and arrow and is followed closely by a stout brown bear, exploring the darkness together. Shrouded in the deep shadows, the only thing made visible by the faint moonlight is the blanket of leaves that cover the forest floor. With her determined expression and powerful stance, Merida is ready to face any challenge that the forest may hold, while the bear stands stalwartly by her side.
To bring this image to life, try using bright pops of color against a dark background. Choose yellow to create a moody and dramatic light around the two heroes, and varying shades of green to give the trees depth and texture. Warm autumnal hues of brown, red and orange can be used to spruce up the leaves and mimic the soft moonlight, while bringing out the details of Merida’s clothing and the bear’s fur. Rich blues, purples or greys may also be used to fill in the sky.
