One Piece at a Time Coloring Page

There is so many ways the new coloring pageOne Piece at a Time” can be colored. I can easily see stars and flowers in the design. How would you color this page?

One Piece at a Time

Below is my first coloring attempt of this page:

One Piece at a Time

This is my third attempt. The second attempt, I did not like so I deleted it and started over. Warning, when you are doing art, you are your worst critic. I named it “Wheel of Color” because it shows the use of a lot of colors on the color wheel, starting with yellow and ending with yellow.

Amazing Paradox Coloring Page

A new coloring page is now available. I called it Amazing Paradox.

I know it looks like a star, but I named it Amazing Paradox because of drawing I created with CorelDraw. The entire drawing uses the Zentangle pattern Paradox. The black and white drawing turned out awesome.

But, once I added color, it became amazing. I thought the black background would emphasize the colors.

My second drawing using the template was a little different. I used two Zentangle patterns. Before I colored it, I thought the drawing had a Native American feel to it. I researched some color palettes and selected colors from the Cherokee Color palette.

These are just examples of what I did. I sure your coloring page will turn out just amazing.

Flower in Boxes Coloring Page

Its finally here! 18 months later and I have added a new drawing to my Coloring Page . It is available for anyone to download and color. It was so much fun to create and color this drawing. I think I will need to create more drawings. I already have an idea for the next one. This drawing was created and colored using Corel Draw.

Here are a few examples how I colored the drawing. Be creative, color them to you desires. Mostly, have fun.

Hearts Mandala

I created the mandala below for the month of February.  What happens is February, beside National Pizza Day, Ferris Wheel Day, Chinese New Year (wait, I could have easy created a mandala for these days)?  It is the month that Valentine’s Day is observed.

A PDF of this mandala is available on my coloring page, for anyone to download.

Hearts All Over

It was created and colored in CorelDraw.

Hearts All Over Color

Experiment: Epson Fine Art Paper

As soon as I felt the Epson Fine Art Paper, I wondered if I could use it for some of my coloring page.  Over the last week, I have experimented with the paper.

This is the drawing I decided to use for the experiment.  It was designed using CorelDraw.

It is also one of the first of my coloring pages I printed.  It was printed using my Epson printer, on Epson Fine Art paper, with the thick-paper setting turned on.  It printed nicely, but I did notice the lines in the middle were very close together.

I thought my first attempt to color it would be with color pencils; instead, I used watercolor pencils, with a water brush, and a light touch.  The black line appeared to bleed a little, but I kind of liked that effect.  The more color I added to the paper, the less the black lines appeared to bleed.  The paper did really well with the water, there was minimum wrapping of the paper.  Below is the results:

My testing of the color pencils did not go well.  The color went on the paper like I expected, nice blending was accomplished.  However, when you apply multiple layers of color with the pencil, wax bloom happens.   Little specks from the color pencils gets all over the drawing.  One method to get rid these little specks, is to use a kneed eraser.

The Fine Art paper, absorbed the gray color from the kneed eraser.  It also absorbed the pink from the pink eraser and any color left from previous erasing off of a white eraser.  There are two ways I can see to get rid of these little specks for future projects when using this paper:  first, to clean the white eraser every time before touching it to this paper; or use can air to blow the specks off the paper.  I am will probably go with the can of air.

Since I created the drawing in CorelDraw, I had to color it in CorelDraw.  When I saved it out as a JPEG file, I though the background provided additional shine to the colors.  Below is the piece of art.
