I thought they would be too tedious to color, but ended up loving them as I waited for baby number two to arrive. You are right that it appeals to those of us who love the dressage journey. <br /><br />I just got a Game of Thrones coloring book and can't wait to try it. I love layering colors and have been teaching my three-year-old to do the same. I wonder what the preschool will think.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-31930362406138708402016-09-26T16:48:04.393-07:002016-09-26T16:48:04.393-07:00I love it!

I gave watercolor a go a few years ago--it was enjoyable, but again, I didn't keep it up.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-85211208720469256052016-09-26T01:14:44.030-07:002016-09-26T01:14:44.030-07:00So beautiful!!

I colored a book called Hats, back in 1999 when I had cancer. It was called that because so many women in our support group had to wear hats after chemo. It had the greatest hats for us to color and was a perfect therapy while going through a difficult time. I still have my Hat book, somewhere here.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-64900417519247168802016-09-23T19:52:53.828-07:002016-09-23T19:52:53.828-07:00Those look so cool!

Here I've seen subtlety via shading for the first time. I may give this a try now.<br /><br />Also: I ran across this possible solution for hot weather clothes, via $900 Facebook pony: https://the900facebookpony.com/2016/09/23/review-for-horses-breeches<br /><br />Karen Bronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-63757533840967994342016-09-23T11:12:18.577-07:002016-09-23T11:12:18.577-07:00I love this!!!

I have one, a mandala theme, bought to calm my mind on sleepless nights & hopes of fostering creativity. Haven't completed many, but it's fun pulling out my colored pencils from art school days back in the stone age. I used to enjoy layering style, but was far from the stand out artist. Art (or most anything for that matter) is 90% practice and 10% talent. You don't give yourself enough credit, your coloring is beautiful!! aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-37398971393726207942016-09-23T04:24:58.213-07:002016-09-23T04:24:58.213-07:00You get it!

I just gave away my coloring books and pencils because I wasn't finding pleasure, only frustration that the colors were never vibrant enough, and my wrist would hurt if I tried to make them vibrant with pressure. I never considered tutorials, oh well.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.com
