Santa Face Close-Up

Get up close with the man of the season on this Santa face close-up coloring page. His smiling face fills the whole frame, with twinkling eyes behind round glasses, rosy round cheeks, bushy eyebrows, a thick curly beard and moustache, and a hat topped with a fluffy pom-pom. Because the portrait is large, there is room to shade carefully, which makes this a lovely page for kids who like to slow down and add detail to a single face. The curls of the beard and the texture of the eyebrows reward patient coloring. Leaving the beard white against a red hat creates the classic Santa look in seconds. Round wire-rimmed glasses have become a part of his familiar image over the years, along with the white beard that almost every artist gives him. Print the portrait on US Letter or A4 and warm up those round cheeks with a soft, rosy pink.
