Good evening! It’s day 17 of the challenge. Yesterday we went to the Boston Museum of Science with the boys and had a blast but I was wiped out when we got home so no coloring was happening at my house!
Today I started working on a coloring page that I printed onto copic paper and began coloring it with my Copics. I love this picture of this West African goddess called Oshun. I had never heard of her before I saw her on this coloring page. I colored her skin and hair first as I often do and then began to color the leaves, vines and tree. I did a little more than this but I don’t like to shoot photos without natural daylight so I will finish it up tomorrow and share it in tomorrow’s post. I typically color smaller images so this was really fun.
Happy coloring!

Hello Everyone! It’s day 16 of coloring goodness. Today I finished coloring up the garden beauty and made her into a card. I chose to keep this to what I call a clean lines card in that I just let the image be present without any distractions like patterned paper or embellishments. I just wanted to focus on the image so I added a little bit of earth to ground the image and put it directly onto the card base.
The technique I was practicing is called tip-to-tip coloring. It’s when you use two colors that are far away from each other and then take the lightest color and place it on the tip of the darker maker to make a shade that’s in between the two colors making for a nice blend. It’s great for when you have limited colors.
