Milky Way Above a Mountain Campsite Coloring Page

The tent stands near the bottom center with both front flaps pulled back, so the doorway is a plain triangle of white paper rather than a dark hole. Guy lines run out to pegs on either side and a ridge pole shows along the top seam.

A lantern stands upright on the stones to the left of that doorway, a carrying hoop above a plain body, and nothing glows around it. Just in front of the tent a loop of flat oval stones marks the fire ring, left empty, with no flames drawn inside it.

Behind the camp four peaks cross the middle of the page. Their faces carry fold lines only, so every slope stays one wide open area, and small pines run along the shoulder on the left and down the bank on the right.

The sky is where this sheet parts company with the rest of the set. Long thin lines sweep from edge to edge in a shallow arch, and the stars sit between them as separate four point sparkles, plain circles and single dots. Nothing fills the gaps around them, so the upper half stays mostly untouched.

That gives you two speeds to work at. Lay a flat wash over the sky and the open rock faces, then slow right down for the pebbles, the grass tufts and the lantern, which hold the only small shapes on the page.
