Bears crossing the stream

An adult bear looks back as a cub steps across broad stream stones. Pine trees and water ripples add a setting while the bears remain the main shapes.

How much detail?

Large bear and rock shapes are joined by smaller fern leaves, fur edges and ripples. About the labels.

Try this palette: Pine stream

Give the cub a lighter brown than the adult and keep the water pale blue around their stones.

A small coloring tip

Use broad strokes on the bears and a finer point for fern leaves and paw edges.

Color the stepping stones in a repeating warm-gray sequence to trace the route across the water.
