Day 6. Using a Digital Image & Adding Grey

Hello Friends! It’s me again. If you need a reminder it’s Day 6. of the 10 Day Coloring Challenge. Already I am looking forward to the next 30 days. What about you?

Today’s title is Using a Digital Image & Adding Grey. Tomorrow I will explain what I did and how I finished today’s painting.

Patricia is not only is a sweet wonderful lady but, talented!  She’s a beautiful colorist and creates fun whimsical designs that she sells in her shop. Digital images are so convenient and fun because you can easily alter the images and make them BIG! If you recognize Patricia’s name she helps me with the Coloring Challenges, gathers the Ambassador’s, collects their photos and all the things that I don’t have the bandwidth for.

Patricia also does custom images …. she did this one of me! Check out her Etsy shop here or her Instagram here.

This gnome in the envelope is one of my favorites and this girl … love!

This video of mine for one of the other coloring challenges was Patricia’s inspiration for this illustration. She had to add flowers and a cactus cause she knows how I love them. Such fun to paint!  I will have a video for you tomorrow with some more hair tips. Oh the pressure lol.

That is it for today and I am excited to see you all tomorrow. Hope it’s a great day and thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

P.S.  There are 3 ways to share what you are coloring.

    I like seeing your ‘hand’ in the side of the image of you that Patricia created. Right next to your arm! Such a wonderful image to have and you can color it so many ways! How fun! Off to try and finally color! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. 🙂
