What is shown in this coloring page?

Also known as a mountain lion or cougar, the puma is a remarkable and adaptable big cat found across the Americas. Unlike other big cats, pumas cannot roar but communicate with whistles, chirps, and purrs. They are solitary and elusive predators, capable of incredible leaps and thriving in diverse habitats, from mountains to forests. This scene honors their role as a vital part of the wildlife ecosystem.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layering: Start with lighter colors as a base and gradually add darker shades for depth, especially in the puma’s fur and the mountain rocks.
• Texture: Use short, directional strokes to create the soft texture of the puma’s coat and small, scribbly motions for the rough granite of the mountain.
• Focus Point: Make the puma stand out by using slightly more vibrant or warmer tones on it, while using cooler, muted tones for the background landscape.
• Background: Keep the distant forest and sky lighter and less detailed to create a sense of vast space and height on the mountain.
