Lantern Moon Lake Coloring Page

What You’ll See

Right at the center is a calm lake that looks like a polished mirror, catching the glow of a dangling lantern moon. Around it, a ring of tall silver ferns leans in, their fronds making gentle arches. Above the water sits a plateau made of interlocking rock shapes, and a spiraling stone tower climbs toward the sky, its surface covered in intricate mandala patterns. The sky itself is a web of interlaced clouds, giving the whole scene a dreamy, layered feel.

How to Color It

Because the line work is high‑contrast and full of texture, you can play with both bold blocks of color and fine shading. Try a cool blue or teal for the lake to make the moon reflection pop, and use silvery‑green shades for the ferns to keep that metallic vibe. For the rocks and tower, warm earth tones work well, but feel free to splash in unexpected hues for a more whimsical feel. Don’t forget the clouds – soft grays or pastel pinks can add depth without overwhelming the design.

Tips & Inspiration

Mixing cross‑hatching with smooth washes can bring out the organic flow of the patterns. If you’re into mandalas, you might want to accent the tower’s etched designs with complementary colors that echo the surrounding elements. Have fun experimenting – there’s no right or wrong way to make this scene your own.
