Unwind, Relax, and Be Creative
Come along as I learn how to relax during stressful circumstances and simultaneously be creative – colored pencil art. Learn from my successes and failures; research into basic, advanced, and inventive techniques; then stop by for something new and fun to do and learn.
Can These Tiny Pomegranate Seeds Can Be Done?
Down to the last piece of this picture! We will be working on the pomegranate. It is fairly easy, the technique is similar to the apples, but instead of the pink highlight, we will be using purple. The only difficult part of this is the teeny tiny little seeds. They were a major pain, but don’t worry I will show you how I did those.
Coloring Thick and Gooey Honey
Happy FunDay! I hope your week was a good one with not too many problems. Did you get to finish the apples and basket? Did you have any problems? We will be wrapping up this page this weekend. Today I will be showing you how to color the honey jar to look like bright, shiny, thick ooey, gooey honey.
Want an Almost Realistic Looking Basket?
How did your apples turn out? Did you get some good quiet and relaxing time? I sure hope so! Coloring always helps me clear my mind, forget about my troubles, and relax. Today we will be working on the basket. It may look a little complicated, but it is so easy once you learn the technique. You just need to repeat the process on each small section.
Cool Technique for Coloring Apples
When I was thinking about what to color for this week, I thought about “In the Beginning” and what is the most well known “In the Beginning” story? Yep, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and a forbidden fruit, which traditionally was an apple. So, that is what I went with; but, instead of coloring just one apple, I found this cute basket of apples with a pomegranate and honey jar.
