Ik ben gek op kautjes. En al zijn neven en nichten, maar voor de kleine kau. Zo wijs als ze zijn, hoe parmanteg ze lopen.

Deze kau en raaf gemaakt met grafiet en koh-I-Noor waterverf.

I had in mind to make one of the tulips a Black Tulip, but skipped the idea. When I made a mistake, which I couldn’t fix but made worse and worse, making it a black tulip was a great cover up!

I love the bumblebee sitting there on a leave and as a surprise the snail hiding under one…. just gorgeous.

  This 4 page are from the colouring book ‘Chroma-Therapie:  A Walk in Nature by Christopher King. I so much enjoyed colouring it!!! I call it finished, but it isn’t quit; I am not pleased with the background. As always; I’m just no good at backgrounds. I coloured it with 3 shades of French grey of Prismacolor and blended it with baby oil. That didn’t turned out the way it supposed to be. You can see where the next shade starts, which should be blended better.  The lightest shade (20% French grey) is too light. I’m not sure yet how to change that, so I let it be for now.

I do have to mention that the real thing is better than the photo shows. A scan is even worse. It’s always a struggle to show in an image how it looks for real. I played around with editing and this is the best result I could get. Always a frustration!!

How great this would look framed at the wall??

Contest #5 by Antonina Kalinina

Antonina Kalinina is the artist of the week in a facebookgroup called  SHIMMER&SHINE SPARKLING ANGELS COLORING. She does lotteries and a contest, so I just had to participate, eventhough

The first time I coloured this page

I allready coloured the page before. It’s such a beautiful drawing, it’s a joy to do it again!

I was a bit worried about the little time I had to finish (tuesday till friday),…

Too Much & Too Little

I just read this blog about the daily prompt word unmoored, and I can so relate to that!

Besides all the ideas I have for blogs I still didn’t write, which make me feel chaotic (nothing changed), I have too many colouring projects I would like to do all at the same time.  (more…)

Colouringbook Chroma-Therapie Awesome Beasts by Christopher D. King   ‘Awesome beasts’

He asked me to colour these and I love to colour them!! I like to colour flora and fauna very much and this illustration is something else then I’ve coloured so far; a unique imaginary style. So, I really had to look at it for a while to picture myself how to colour it and in which colours. Finally I decided to colour them in bright colours, the plant in green and blue and the flowers (or what could be seen as a flower 🙂 ) in reds, pinks and oranges. If that doesn’t come out the way I imagine, then I’ll try it again with another colour pallet.
