A couple of years ago my big sister bought me a 1 year subscription to the monthly magazine "Relax with Art" for my birthday. I had seen the magazine advertised and wrote it on my wish list never in my wildest dreams expecting to get it, so it was a big surprize, when the first issue arrived in my mailbox.
These 13 (an extra for Christmas) magazines has and will still give me plenty of work, as the images are all A4 size and I have lots of stuff to colour besides them.
I just finished the below monster image, chosen among the many for one reason; the scale reminds me of a red scale, I once bought my mother for Christmas. When my mother died many years ago, my big sister got the scale, so I still see it. It was quite fun to colour this memory.
I really loved colouring the tiles on the wall, but WOW, that was a lot of work. I used techniques I've learned in my Kit and Clowder pencil classes among other things on the rust on the two cans, and on the cake, well pretty much all over the image.
I believe it's taken me about two weeks (an hour here, a half hour there etc.) to finish this image, and then I put it into my album of the big images, I've coloured.
If you love the image and maybe want to colour something similar, Relax with Art has a facebook page with lots and lots of free downloads (they put up some each month). Click on the title to see it.
