It takes a while to finish a coloring page, and during that time you might find yourself experiencing a broad range of thoughts and feelings. This page started off very simply for me, but wow - did it ever lead me though a whole world of thoughts. It had everything - joyous feelings, analytical thought, [...]
(Thinky thoughts from a post to my Facebook group) ________ Good morning everyone! Whoopsie! No new addition to my blog this morning. :) This weekend turned into a lovely opportunity to practice taking a couple of days off. One of the biggest challenges is to do that without also trying to sneak in a dab [...]
Today you can see the real beauty of yesterday's set of colors. This was such a great feeling piece to color - there was never any wondering about where I should place the individual colors because they all played so nicely together. I think that what really works in these shades is that there are [...]
Today's blog post is going to be totally backwards. First, I'd like to show you the shades that I ended up using - even though when I first started coloring the page I really had no idea what color direction I might go in. So here's the shades. What's so exciting about this picture is [...]
When we left off yesterday, I had just added a really bold blue to my rusty tones coloring. I'm still basically coloring without a plan, but when in doubt - might as well add another blue to give me a light/dark combination. Those usually work out OK. Oh yeah! That's not bad at all. These [...]
You might have noticed that when I have back to back marker colorings, I often jump across the color wheel to pick the shades for the second piece. I don't really plan which colors to use next. It's fun to just dig through my marker box and see what else might go nicely with my [...]
Another day and another brightly colored addition to my in progress coloring - a nice bright Spring green shade. Do you ever have one of those days where you really want to use certain colors, and then when you do - you aren’t at all convinced that it was a good idea? I think I [...]
I switched back to markers again today. As much as I am enjoying coloring with pencils now, I like the speed and the smoothness and the bright popping colors of markers so much. It always feels like I'm returning home to them, as opposed to alternating between coloring tools. Bright markers are still my very [...]
Yesterday I thought that my blues were going to head off toward purple territory, but color moods can really shift from day to day and I think it’s a good time for a bit of aqua. It's kind of amazing how much the overall color appearance of a picture can change when you add a [...]
I'm really huge fan of Amazon, and one of the things I like so much is the ability to go back and look at my orders list and see what I bought when. I just did a quick check and found out that it's been just barely over a year since I bought my first [...]
