What is shown in this coloring page?

Zebras are social animals known for their distinctive black-and-white striped coats, which are unique to each individual, much like human fingerprints. They inhabit the grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands of Africa. These stripes are thought to provide camouflage from predators, confuse biting flies, and help with temperature regulation. In this scene, the zebra is depicted in its peaceful home, surrounded by waving grasses under a vast sky.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Directional Strokes: Color the zebra’s stripes in the direction of its body shape. Use long, vertical strokes for the grasses to make them look realistic.
• Layer Colors: Start with lighter colors as a base. Add layers of darker greens in the grassland to create shadows and depth.
• Highlight & Contrast: Leave tiny areas of the zebra’s body uncolored (or use your lightest gray/white) next to the black stripes to make them pop. Add dots of bright yellow or light green on the grass for highlights.
• Background First: Consider coloring the sky and distant grassland first to establish your scene, then work forward to the zebra and the detailed foreground grass.
