Mermaid Blowing Bubbles

Playful and full of fun, this mermaid puffs out her cheeks and blows a whole stream of round bubbles that float up across the page. Her tail flicks happily behind her, her long hair swirls in the water, and a tiny fish chases the bubbles as they rise. All those bubbles make this a great page for practicing circles and trying a rainbow of colors, since each one can be a different shade. The mermaid herself has bold, clear lines, while the trail of bubbles adds gentle detail, so the page suits younger and middle-age colorers alike. Bubbles are simply pockets of air, lighter than the water around them, and they always drift upward toward the surface. Try leaving a little white highlight on each one so it looks glassy and round. Print it on US Letter or A4 and fill the page with floating color.
