Sailboat on Layered Water Cells in a Square Glass Panel Coloring Page

A sailboat sits square in the middle of this panel with two plain sails, a mainsail and a jib, both left completely empty. Nothing is drawn on either one, so they are the largest clear areas on the page and the obvious place to make a bold choice. The hull below is a single long closed shape with a rail line along its top edge, a short bowsprit at the front, and a mast that runs the full height of the sails with a small pennant at the masthead.

Under the boat the water runs in wide overlapping bands, two deep, each one curving softly across the panel.

The frame is the other half of the design. Vertical and horizontal bars cross near each edge to form a geometric border of squares and long rectangles, with a few clouds drawn as small curved lines in the upper lights. It is a clean, almost modern arrangement.

Because the sails are blank, they decide the page. Leave them white against a deep sky and the boat reads crisp and nautical, or fill them warm and let the water go cool behind. Keep the border bars dark so the frame holds. Markers cover every shape here quickly. Twenty minutes will do it.
