About this download
Ribbon grass bends with the water. A paddle tail passes quietly below the surface, while a bird opens its wings to the sun. Begin with the cool, flowing shapes of Florida's springs and freshwater waterways.
Try a palette of spring blue, fern green and warm limestone.
These 6 scenes are the "Freshwater Springs" chapter of Beneath the Palms. If you plan to color the whole book, the full printable edition includes every pack.
What's included
- One PDF, 7 pages, sized for US Letter (8.5 × 11 in)
- 6 coloring scenes with common and scientific names
- The chapter introduction and palette idea
Printing tips
- Print on US Letter at 100% ("actual size"). On A4 paper, choose "fit to page".
- Heavier paper, such as 32 lb (120 gsm) or light cardstock, handles markers better than everyday copy paper.
- Test markers on a spare print first, or slip a sheet behind the page.
- Your PDF stays yours: print a page again whenever you want a fresh start.
