Sunrise Over the City Coloring Page

Good morning, early birds! This coloring page shows a moment that many children have never consciously experienced so early in the day: the instant when the sun rises above the rooftops and bathes the whole city in warm light. Maybe it reminds your child of the last vacation in a big city, or of the view from the balcony as the sky slowly changes color.

When the City Wakes Up: The Sunrise Over the City Coloring Page

You can see skyscrapers and smaller buildings with lots of windows, a few clouds turning golden, and of course the big sun just peeking out above the skyline. Some windows can glow while others stay dark, as if the residents are only just waking up. This gives your child plenty of little areas to discover and color in.

Coloring Idea: From Dark to Light

A nice trick for this picture is to paint the sky in color gradients. At the top, far from the sun, it can stay a deep blue or purple, just like right before sunrise. The closer you get to the sun, the warmer the colors become: orange, yellow, and a soft pink blend together beautifully. The buildings themselves can be gray, beige, or even colorful, however your child likes, because a fantasy city is allowed to have pink skyscrapers too.

Yellow or orange pencils work especially well for the windows, making it look as if light is already shining out of the apartments. You can download the picture for free and print it out easily at home on regular A4 paper. That way, nothing stands in the way of a peaceful coloring moment together, morning or afternoon.
