Moon Gate Garden

A flower-covered moon gate opens onto floating islands above a fish pond. Work from the larger stones toward the delicate vines and distant towers.

How much detail?

Vines, stone joints, flowers and fish details create numerous narrow areas. About the labels.

Use green vines and pale peach stones around the gate. Blue water and lilac flowers can repeat in the distant islands.

A small coloring tip

Use a fine pencil for fish scales, flower centers and distant towers; a broader pencil stroke suits the gate stones.
