During this Corona crisis I think I've lost my cardmaking and colouring mojo a bit, I have all the time in the world - also now that I'm retired, but I find that I've not been in the mood to neither making cards or colouring as much as I usually do, I don't know why, but I hope that it comes back soon. Maybe it's the depressing news on TV, press conferences practically all day long (yeah, yeah, I know, I can turn the telly off) and I have, so I could finish my March pencil class that I've been working on for 10 days now. Or maybe it's the fact that I can no longer sit for hours and colour due to my back. If I sit too long, it goes wrong and I face a couple of weeks of physiotherapy and no sitting down at the table at all - no doubt that this has something to do with it too.
Well, no more whining. I'm thrilled to show you my latest creation. Isn't she gorgeous? She was worth all the time I spent on her.
I particularly loved colouring the toadstools and the wings. Isn't it beautiful? I'm not sure that the colours on the photo are good as on the real project. The wings e.g. are purple, blue, teal, green, yellow and yellow orange. The green is from mixing the teal strokes into the yellow, and I don't think that's very visible on the photo.
I messed up the eyes a bit, as they are so small (the whole image is 17,8cm x 12,7 cm.).
The background was very interesting to do, as I had to draw in the trees myself. I think they're looking pretty good, if I may say so myself.
I can strongly recommend Alyce Keegan of Kit&Clowder if you're looking for a place to learn colouring (and sometimes drawing, but not that often). She offers classes in Pencils as well as Markers.
Various colour brands are mentioned in the class booklets with step by step photos, video tutorials and if you need it personal tutoring by Alyce herself - all that at the very, very reasonable price of AUD 35, if you subscribe to both classes, and as the AUD is very low at the moment, you can be extra sure you get something for your money.
If you chose only to subscribe to one class the price AUD 20.
On the Kit&Clowder website www.kitandclowder.com there are even a few free classes, you can try out first and there're tips and tricks and colour charts and much much more.
