What's In This Picture
In the center of this scene, a large sea turtle with a patterned shell swims calmly. Below it, a small underwater volcano sits on the ocean floor, sending up plumes of bubbles into the surrounding water. The volcano is nestled among jagged rocks that provide a home for various ocean plants.
To the sides, you will find clusters of coral with interesting textures and long strands of seaweed that look like they are waving in the current. Several small fish are scattered throughout the water, adding movement to the background. Every corner of the page is filled with details, from the tiny bubbles rising to the surface to the different shapes of the reef, making it a busy and exciting environment to explore with your colors.
Coloring Tips
For the sea turtle, you might want to use different shades of green or brown for its shell and flippers. You can make the shell look more three-dimensional by using a darker shade near the edges of each plate. The underwater volcano is a great place to use bright oranges and yellows to represent the glowing heat from the eruption, contrasting with the cool blues of the surrounding water.
Try using various shades of pink, purple, or orange for the coral to make it stand out against the green seaweed. The fish can be as colorful as you like, perhaps with bright stripes or spots. Using a light, watery blue for the background while leaving the bubbles a very pale shade will help create a sense of depth in this deep-sea landscape.
Did You Know?
Did you know that there are thousands of underwater volcanoes? Most of the Earth's volcanic activity actually happens at the bottom of the ocean. These volcanoes can create new islands and provide warmth for unique sea creatures that live in the very deep, dark parts of the sea where the sun cannot reach.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, you could try drawing your own secret treasure chest hidden behind one of the rocks. You might also enjoy looking up different types of sea turtles to see which one looks most like the friend in this picture. You can even count all the bubbles to see how many the volcano has made.
