Ocean eyes.

 

 I chose this coloring page because I haven't colored in a long time and I'm out of practice. Although it took a while, I relaxed while listening to music and focused on the colors, blending, and layering. Even my coffee was forgotten. We're lucky to have access to so many beautiful coloring books and online guides.

African Lady.

Size: A4 (8 1/2" x 11"

My Drawing in pencil.

Process: I drew the figure on watercolour paper with a pencil using the 9 HEADS METHOD. Tore up pieces of handmade paper and attached them to watercolour paper using Mod Podge Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish-Matte and a foam brush. seal with Mod Podge and let dry. While the sealer was drying, I traced the drawing onto watercolour paper because  I wanted to keep the original sketch. Outlined the lady with black colour pencil and coloured with watercolour pencils. Blended the watercolour pencils using a small paintbrush and water. Let dry. Cut out the figure using small detail scissors, a cutting mat and a craft knife. Attached the figure to the collage using a strong adhesive. 

 Supplies: Watercolor paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, Fine hand made paper from Select imports, tracing paper, adhesive, scissors, water, paintbrush, black colouring pencil, watercolour pencils, Mod Podge Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish-Matte, sponge paintbrush, craft knife, marker, eyeshadow applicator, ink pad, craft knife, craft mat, etc.
