Mermaid Reaching Forward With Open Hands, Adult Coloring

A mermaid swims through the water with both arms stretched out in front of her, hands open as if reaching for something just out of view. Her long hair streams behind her in loose waves and little curling spirals. The lower half of her body is a curved fish tail covered in rows of small overlapping scales. The tail ends in a big fin that curls up at the tip, with fine lines running through it. Strands of hair also drift down along her body and across the top of the tail. The scales and curls are small and detailed, so this free printable suits older kids, teens, and adults who like patient coloring. Try a gradient on the tail, starting with deep teal near the waist and fading to light green or purple at the fin, and use a different shade for the hair.
