New Year Sky Lantern Release With People Gathered In A Field Coloring Page

Around thirty five paper lanterns climb the sky on this page, and they are the whole reason to print it. Each is a six sided bag, wider at the shoulder and tapering to a small open mouth, with a fringe of short strokes hanging beneath it where the flame would sit. They are drawn at every distance, from big ones near the top where you can count each panel to far off ones that are barely more than a diamond. Wavy trails link a few of them, and small confetti shapes drift through the gaps between. Low cloud outlines bank across the middle of the sheet. A bunting line of little rectangular flags is strung right across beneath those clouds, and below that a crowd stands packed behind a rope, several rows deep, with one figure out in front on the grass. Tufts of grass fill the foreground. Give the near lanterns warm colors and let them pale as they go back, and this page will gain a depth that a flat approach would lose.
