Mermaid on a Rock
A graceful mermaid sitting on a smooth ocean rock with flowing hair and a curving tail, with gentle waves and starfish below — a coloring page.
Calm and classic, this page shows a graceful mermaid sitting on a smooth ocean rock. Her long wavy hair flows down her back, her curving scaled tail drapes over the side, and her hands rest gently behind her while gentle waves lap and a couple of starfish sit at the base of the rock. The pose is the timeless image many people picture when they think of a mermaid, which makes it a satisfying, all-ages page. The large hair and tail give younger colorers big areas to fill, while the scales, waves, and starfish offer detail for those who want it. Real starfish, also called sea stars, can slowly regrow an arm if they lose one. Try shading the hair from light to dark for a glossy look. Print it on US Letter or A4 and enjoy the seaside calm.
Coloring Tips
- Shade the hair — blend from light at the top to darker at the ends for shiny, flowing locks.
- Stone the rock — soft grays and tans make the rock look smooth and real beneath her.
- Spot the starfish — color the starfish in a warm orange so they pop against the rock and water.
