I have been trying out different colouring-in pencils lately and have been enjoying the Koh-i-Noor Polycolor pencils especially. These pencils are oil-based that makes application and blending so easy.
I used grey graphite paper to trace a colouring-in image onto a A4 Canvas Panel. The image I used is from the Colouring Book - Simple Blessings by Karla Dornacher. I bought this colouring-in book as a PDF downloadable file from her Etsy Shop
I used a Pigma Micron pen to outline the image in black. I will not ever use a Micron pen again to draw on Canvas as the rough texture ruined my pen. The Posca paint Pens are a much better option.
I sprayed the canvas with lots of water and start sprinkling Brusho Crystals until I was satisfied with the background. I tried to use more earthy colours on the bottom; blue, yellow and red in the sky an green on the leaves.
I painted all the areas that I wanted to colour-in with Dina Wakley Clear Gesso to smooth the roughness of the Canvas. I coloured in the image with Koh-I-Noor Polycolor Pencils and used the Derwent Blender Pens to create a smooth application.
I used the Posca Paint Pens in Black and White to add the borders and doodles. I was so pleased with the end result!
