Learning Curve

Leave a comment

Well I knew colouring books would be different, and there is certainly a learning curve that I fully expected. How the talented create such beautiful pages is amazing, and when I went back to give it another go I found it challenging once again.

I chose this image from Johanna Bamford’s ‘Rooms of Wonder’ and set to work. This time I wanted to fill the background as well, but how to do that on paper that is not really designed for it? Not easy, at least for me.

I started at the top and worked my way down, then down, and down some more. As I went I worked on the background adding gesso and Inktense pencils as I went. The main images are worked with Polychromos and my favourite white pencil -Luminance from Caron D’Ache.

Oh well, onward and upward. Time to find something a little quicker and within my skill set 😂.

Enjoy your time creating.

I have always loved to colour but it usually had to have a purpose, and usually in the form of a greeting card. Now I admit I have spent many years watching others use adult colouring books and wondered why. I watched and thought that’s a waste of valuable time. But I always watched in awe of their talent.

Late last year I purchased this book. Found that once again time was against me so it went on to my shelf, but then like many things craft related I found a new obsession with colouring books and purchasing them! So my answer to ‘What would you like for Christmas?’ came in the form of a new book.

I also found these Color Cubes by Sarah Renae Clark and decided to give them a go. It was more about how much I love colour and especially love physical cards, and maybe the fact I love collecting things.

It was fun colouring this page, and hopefully I will have some more time over the next few weeks of holidays.
