Smiling Halloween Witch with Cauldron Coloring Page

About this coloring picture

This witch with cauldron coloring page shows a smiling witch with long, straight hair and arms stretched wide. Her tall hat has a brim and a buckle on its band, and her cloak flares out below. In front of her sits a cauldron with bubbles rising from its rim. Around the witch are potion bottles, open books with scribbled pages, several black cats, two owls, a pair of brooms, crescent moons, and small stars.

Start with the big areas. A deep purple or plum for the hat and cloak gives the witch a strong silhouette, and golden yellow for the hat buckle and stars keeps the eye moving across the page. For the cauldron, try a dark gray or charcoal, and use bright green in the potion bottles so they stand out against the scattered details. Keep the owls warm with orange or brown tones on their feathers. The black cats are already solid black, so leave them as they are.

The tightest spaces are the potion bottle necks, the cork tops, and the small stars. A sharp colored pencil or fine-tip marker works best there, and light pressure keeps the color inside the lines. Use broader crayons or markers for the hat, cloak, and cauldron, where the shapes are large. The witch's striped stockings are narrow and repeated, so color one stripe at a time and check that each one stays separate.

For a short imaginative activity, pick one potion bottle and invent a name for it, such as a potion that makes socks stay dry. Write the name on the bottle, then decide what the witch would drop into the cauldron. To begin, choose Print Coloring Sheet, or select Color Online to open the browser coloring tools.
