Goldfish

Explore goldfish with flowing tails in garden ponds and spacious planted aquariums. Print scenes with lily pads, bubbles and children watching fish, then add your favorite colors. For a larger subject and fewer background details, choose a single fish among leaves. For more small areas, try the garden cascade or the boy sketching beside an aquarium. You can also count the five fish in the view from above.

Original coloring page: Goldfish with a Flowing Fan Tail →

Orange round-bodied goldfish with golden fins and flowing tail; plants, bubbles and stones stay white. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Orange head and body
2. Golden fins and tail

Color the head and entire scaled body orange, leaving the eye whites clear. Follow one row of scales at a time without covering their lines.
Color every fin and every lobe of the large tail golden yellow. Leave all plants, bubbles, stones and background white.

Short curved scale lines and long fin rays should both remain readable. Two colors are enough to finish this focused fish study.
