About this page

A Highland cow stands side on with its whole body divided into vertical bands, each one filled with its own pattern. Scallops, rows of teardrops, stacked circles, small squares, and overlapping scales run from the shoulder back to the tail, and the legs carry scale work of their own. The horns are ringed and dotted, the face is covered in fine teardrops, and the cow stands on a band of scalloped ground.

Zentangle style turns the animal into a surface to decorate, and the long straight back of the breed gives you plenty of room. This is the most pattern heavy page in our Highland cow coloring pages. The Celtic knotwork cow and the mandala head sit at a similar level.

We rate this printable coloring page as detailed and good for ages 11 and up, or adult colorists. Plan for about an hour and a half, or split it across two sessions. Fine tip pens are essential for the narrow bands. It rewards working band by band rather than trying to plan the whole animal at once.

Decide on four or five colors and tie each one to a pattern type before you start. Work the body bands from the head backward, then the legs, then the horns and face. Finish with the scalloped ground. Sticking to the pattern rule keeps the whole animal coherent. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
