A garden gnome peeks out from a nest of mushrooms coloring page
A naughty garden gnome looks out behind a mushroom ring with his pointed hat cocked at a jaunty angle, gazing about at the woodland floor.
Here, in this lovely coloring page, a small gnome bends down in the middle flanked by a group of toadstools and wild fungi of different shapes and sizes. Whether big and dappled like the parasol mushrooms or slim, umbrella like structures, each mushroom head is defined by clean, sweeping lines that tempt you to discover dots, stripes or even imaginative colors. The gnome there himself, in his tall crumpled hat with a pom-pom fringing under a big cap; the full nose is drawn in soft curves, the beard curled out in spirals; the cloak and trousers have simple seam-lines and the folds to show for humorous shading. Tufts of grass around the mushrooms, curled fern fronds, some fallen leaves underfoot add texture and depth and provides an extra pocket to toss about some earthy green or warm brown or even an unexpected jewel tone. Small hidden glimpses- the presence of a small snail crawling up a stem, pile of acorns, or tiny ivy vines- can be seen around the background here, allowing you to add life to this magical forest floor. Regardless of whether you fill in every piece with soft pastels or stark contrast, this scene gives you the freedom to strike a balance between the natural forms of mushrooms and the warm geometry of the gnome get-up to make up a woodland tableau that is uniquely yours.
