Patterned Acorn With An Oak Leaf Coloring Page

Two shapes fill this page and nothing else competes with them. A single large acorn sits front and center, its cap marked out in a neat diamond lattice and its lower half left completely smooth, with a short stem curling off the top. Behind it and slightly to the right leans one broad oak leaf, its rounded lobes clearly separated and a spine of veins drawn down the middle. The contrast between the two halves of the acorn is what makes this worth printing. The latticed cap gives somewhere to be careful and precise, and the wide blank body underneath can be covered in one confident sweep, so the same page suits both a fussy approach and a fast one. The leaf veins divide it into sections that can each take a slightly different autumn tone, which is an easy way to get a mottled, turning look without any blending. Scaled down it works as a gift tag or a place card for an autumn table.
