Day 3. Coloring Mushrooms

Hello Friends, Happy Friday to you. This is going to be a super quick post … another late night for me. After coloring all day and into the evening and learning cool stuff I haven’t been sleeping well. I think I am to pumped up?

Today I was thrilled to color this Power Poppy image… I have had my eye on this for awhile. On the left is the sample image.

Progress!

After spending time on this I was afraid to add the grass but, had to go for it.

What do you think? Excited to get some videos out for you guys when I get back. See you tomorrow! Thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

    Gorgeous! Your grass is awesome! I know… I get to a point and love what I’ve done and then I am afraid I’ll ruin it…lol! Lately I remember your words… be fearless! What’s the worst that can happen?…lol… thanks so much for that! I think it’s really made a difference for me…

    Oh these mushrooms came out so wonderful…. sorry you’re not sleeping well. There is something about your own bed! Love the colors and I am a big fan of Power Poppys stuff. Marcella is truly gifted.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:18 pm

      What a lovely compliment, Anne! Yes, part of it is not being in my own bed, but also all the fun ideas and inspiration I am exposed to here all day long. My head is swirling in excitement. Marcella is amazing in Power Poppy awesomeness 🙂

    wow these mushrooms look so realistic – thanks for sharing:)

    • Kathy Racoosin says

    I absolutely love these mushrooms!! Oh my gosh, they are so well done. The details are amazing. And, when I look at them I almost expect them to talk. There’s the big Kahuna, the shyer one and the “bust my buttons” proud one. They make me smile.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:22 pm

      You make my heart smile, Robin! I love that you named the trio of mushrooms! Each time I color this image I will think of your thoughtful and fun comment 🙂

  8. Marie Siler says

    November 3, 2018 at 11:51 am

    Wow. They look so real. You are a great artist.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:24 pm

      You are so kind, Marie. I think Power Poppy did the hard work, and I just had fun layering color 🙂

    Stunning, Kathy! Can’t wait to join the fun next week! At least this week I can check out what others are doing 🙂

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:25 pm

      Thank you so much, Mirella! I’m glad you can peek at inspiration from others, but I am looking forward to seeing what YOU color next week 🙂

    Gorgeous coloring, as ALWAYS. Question…where can I get those cute turquoise and green fabric buckets to hold markers?

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 2:34 am

      Hi Jan, They are from the Container Store 🙂

  11. Teresa Doyle says

    November 3, 2018 at 12:42 pm

    WOW Kathy. It looks like if you reached out and touched it you would feel the texture on the bumps! AH-MAZING work!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:26 pm

      That is so kind, Teresa! I am fortunate to have such fun dimensional images to color 🙂

    Great job, the grass is awesome Kathy!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:27 pm

      Thank you, Sheri! You are so sweet 🙂

    I can understand totally that you didn’t sleep well, ofcourse you are pumped up about everything you learn, see and hear.
    Both are gorgeous but your result, if I may say so, is more gorgeous than the sample image, I think because of a brighter red it is more realistic, looks like the one I saw in the park two days ago.
    Thanks for showing us, have fun and see/hear you tomorrow.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:29 pm

      Henriette, if you could see my face right now, I am blushing! Your kind words mean more to me than you can imagine 🙂

  14. Candy says

    November 3, 2018 at 4:55 pm

    Wow!! Very well done, Kathy!
    Hope you get some sleep soon :o)

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 4, 2018 at 12:31 pm

      Thank you, Candy! You are so kind. Even my dreams are all about the fabulous coloring techniques I am learning and practicing. The best possible exhaustion. I can’t wait to share with you all 🙂

    Absolutely gorgeous as normal Kathy, they look so touchable & you should not worry about the grass as that’s just as realistic as those mushrooms. Beautiful card with a wonderful loving sentiment. I’m struggling mentally in my life currently & to see others sharing kindness & love in so many ways makes me feel more peaceful, thank you.x

    • Kathy Racoosin says

    I’m not a big fan of mushrooms except those fried in butter with onions with a steak! LOL Yours are cute though. I love Power Poppy! I have a bunch of their stamps. Your coloring is always so good. I love those little nubby things on the mushrooms. I have to check out what Power Poppy has that is new.
    Thanks for showing us your card!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 7, 2018 at 3:08 pm

      Thank you so much, Gail! Check out the new stuff from Power Poppy…I hope you love the new releases as much as I do 🙂
