Oh, this looks so nice in person - but I'm afraid my photos don't do it justice. When we get to the end, I've got three very close shades that are almost impossible to tell apart in the photo. But until then... :) Not long ago I had a blog post where I stepped back [...]
I know that I'm going to eventually come back and recycle yesterday's color scheme - but not today. New color horizons are calling. I've got no plan except "different than yesterday". I guess my spirit of adventure is running strong today. Oh, that's kind of a fun and unusual start. I like that light aqua [...]
Wowie! Every once in a while you stumble onto a really cool color scheme and I think today's is going to be one of my favorites. I really liked how this picture was shaping up yesterday, and then... Here comes the rusty tones. As soon as I started using this shade I was just captivated [...]
Oh dear! I've got my new copy of Centered For Crayons And Wide Tipped Markers, but still have about a dozen pages left in Balance Wide Tipped. It's so tempting to color just a few from the new book, but I also want to finish the book that's already in progress. And Balance is sitting [...]

A life where I draw [...]

Sometimes it’s nice to take a step back and notice some of your own coloring patterns or habits. Taking a little inventory of the way you do things is a lot like taking inventory of your coloring supplies. In all kinds of aspects of our lives we have some things in abundance and some things [...]
You know that you are working with a great set of colors when they still feel fresh and fun no matter how much you color with them. How about I hush up for a moment so you can page down and enjoy watching this coloring unfold. Ahh...That was nice, wasn't it? This is where I [...]
I enjoyed yesterday's color set so much that I just had to use them again. One of the traps you can fall into easily is to feel that each new coloring has to be a one of a kind masterpiece. It's especially easy to feel that way if you display your colorings publically, knowing that [...]
At the end of yesterday's coloring I had to make the decision on whether to let the colored parts of my design blur together or remain distinct. I like what I have so far, so I'm going to frame it a bit in yellows. Something about bright yellows make them really good for tying pictures [...]
