Hi all, I wanted to show you some more colorings from my travel coloring book. Hope you like them or that you get some inspiration on using some color yourself.
Within my travel book I am making use of stabilo markers as shown in this blog. I wanted to use a nice variety of colors. So I started to build op the 'flowers'. When I was done with them I didn't want to use some extra color afraid that is would be to much. So I decided to make a contrast by using black and grey. unfortunately that did not turned out as I aspected. So from now on I will be more careful using black and grey in my colorings.
In the next colorings I am experimenting by using not to many colors. The nice thing about this is the serenity it brings. But you need to be careful to make it interesting.
So I choose to use the colors green, yellow and orange in this coloring. But to prevent it became dull I used some bright red to bring in some excitement in here. I am very happy with the result, when look in at it I thing of the jungle.
Before starting this coloring I looked at the lines on the white paper and thought about water. I was picturing some nice turquoise waves at a beach. Not those muddy waves here in the Netherlands but clear blue like you can find in the mediterranean. Ow how I wish I could be there right now. In my set of markers there are several colors just right for this. For the stripy lines I wanted to use some thing different but not distracting. So there it was a nice yellow and green line. When coloring patterns like these I always try to mix it just so, that there are no spaces next to each other with te same color.
As a little girl I really hated the color pink. My favourite was (and still is) blue. I thought it was very stupid that other girls liked pink. So I am still a little scared by using pink.
I don't want to use the same colors again and again that will get pretty boring. So it was time to use some pink and purple. This was one was quite difficult there were lots and lots of different areas so to mix them good and even was quite hard. But looking back at it I am happy with the result.
