A Work in Progress Coloring Project

When I finish this, I'm going to frame it and give it to Jared. I bet he'll stop teasing me about my coloring hobby.

I Colored February's Calendar Page.I'm Ready For the Month to Flip Over.

My green pen ran dry so I ordered more so I can complete my calendar page for February. I love ordering from amazon.com.

 

The green metallic gel pen arrived so I completed this project.

Coloring is praised as being relaxing. I beg to differ. Check out all the little areas I had to color without going over the lines. I'm attempting to stay relaxed in spite of the challenges. I've had little success to date.

I love the finished project so it's worth the tenseness I experience.

Adding Color to a Drawing With Metallic Gel Pens

Coloring With Metallic Gel Pens

I have several types of coloring instruments but I can't seem to put down my metallic gel pens.

I love the sheen they provide.

I also appreciate the shades of color in my metallic gel pen collection.

I'm going to frame this coloring project.

I have made note cards and greeting cards using some of my previous work. I love doing that.

Yup, I'm Still Hanging Out With My Gel Pens. We're Nearly Inseparable.

I spent several hours on this project. 

Siesta Key Journal #7: Sunset Photos From Crescent Beach on Siesta Key

Adult Coloring As a Fun Pastime: Try It, You Might Like It.

The first five photos display an adult coloring book page that I used colored pencils to create. 

As the artist, we can choose to color in each and every detail of the page or color entire areas with one pencil.

I colored all of the remaining pages with colored markers.

This is one type I'm using.

I also am using these metallic markers.

The metallic markers are interesting to use. 

In the right lighting, the metallic colors are pretty.

The creative possibilities are infinite. I could have filled in every flower petal and leaf but I chose to outline and shade instead.

The metallic markers are opaque thus the intricacy of the drawing is often blocked out by the color used.

I used the metallic markers on this page.

Metallic markers worked well on these flowers and hummingbird.

If this sounds like fun to you, don't be embarrassed to be doing what initially appears to be childish. 

Maybe it is; so what!
