Color choices
Bowing Deer can be colored with warm brown fur, lighter spots, and dark hooves. Start with the deer, then use deep green for the trees and grass. Try muted red or brown roof tiles with gray stone paving, and use a bright treat color for contrast near the lowered head.
Roof Tile Rhythm
Color the roof tile sections in an alternating sequence of muted shades. Use a related accent color on the gate details to connect the building.
Before you print
With about 198 areas to color, Bowing Deer in Nara Park Coloring Page sits at a medium level of detail. Use crayons for the big shapes and switch to pencils for the narrow parts.
The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
This picture is also in the Japan Coloring Pack, one PDF with 12 pictures and a cover page for printing a set in one go.
