Coloring Ideas and Techniques

To start, try soft turquoise or light blue for the water background, and then keep the mermaid’s tail in teal, emerald, or even pastel purple. Next, color the giant shell with warm creams and gentle pinks so it stands out against the sea tones. Also, you can pick a sandy beige for the ground to balance the scene.

For a smoother finish, blend colored pencils in small circles, and then deepen the shadows under her arm and along the tail with a darker shade of the same color. After that, add tiny highlights by leaving thin white gaps on the shell ridges and hair curves. Finally, give the coral shapes bright accents, like coral pink or sunny yellow, for a playful pop.

Benefits of This Coloring Activity

Because the drawing has large open areas, it’s a calming choice for slower, mindful coloring. At the same time, the shell lines and small coral shapes help build fine motor control with careful strokes. As a result, it can feel both soothing and rewarding in one sitting.

Additionally, choosing an ocean palette encourages creativity without feeling overwhelming, since the scene is simple and clear. Then, focusing on repeating curves in the tail and shell can support concentration and steady hand movement. In the end, this page is a gentle way to relax, reset your attention, and enjoy a finished underwater scene.
