Risen Jesus Easter Coloring Page with Open Arms and Spring Flowers

This Risen Jesus Easter Coloring Page with Open Arms and Spring Flowers shows Jesus standing barefoot in a garden with his arms spread wide and his palms turned up. A plain round halo frames his face, and straight rays of light fan out behind him toward the clouds on each side of the page. Lilies, tulips and smaller blossoms grow around his feet and up the left and right edges. The page is free to print for Sunday school, catechism class and Easter at home, and its intermediate level suits children who can color inside medium-sized shapes.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the risen Jesus standing with his arms open wide, wearing a simple robe, with rays of light behind him and spring flowers around his feet." The app turned that one sentence into the line drawing on this page.

The words "arms open wide" set the pose, so his hands reach almost to the left and right edges of the page at chest height. "A simple robe" kept the clothing to one long garment with a single sash, which leaves large areas for color. "Rays of light behind him" became the straight lines that run from behind his head to the edges of the page, and "spring flowers around his feet" filled the lower half of the drawing.

What's in This Jesus Easter Coloring Page

Jesus appears at full height, from the halo near the top of the page to his bare feet among the flowers, and he smiles straight at the viewer. His face is drawn with a few clean lines, so the smile stays easy to see after coloring.

The open arms give a Sunday school class a welcoming image to talk about. The robe is a large open area that younger children fill quickly, and the garden keeps the faster children busy until the lesson ends.

Fifteen straight rays spread from behind the halo, and the lowest two on each side stop at the scalloped clouds. A sash crosses the robe from one shoulder and gathers in curved folds at the waist, and a second length of cloth hangs straight down on the right. The garden holds two open lilies and a closed bud on the left and two tulips on the right. Among them grow three star-shaped flowers with ruffled centers, like daffodils, and four rounder flowers with a small circle in the middle.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Color the wedges of sky between the rays in two alternating shades of yellow, and the light will seem to spread out from the halo. A pale gold halo and a white robe keep the attention on his face. For a colored robe, light blue or soft red sits well next to the yellow sky. Give the sash a deeper shade of the robe color so its folds stand out.

The lilies on the left are drawn like Easter lilies, the white trumpet lily (Lilium longiflorum) that churches and families display at Easter. Keep their petals white with yellow stamens, and save the stronger colors for the tulips and the round flowers. Two shades of green help separate the overlapping leaves.

When a child in the class draws an Easter picture of their own, you can make that drawing into a printable page and copy it for everyone.
