Colouring book is back!

You were asking about it...

Here it is, a few more copies!

The colouring book is made up of 42 original black and white illustrated pages (with cover), designed by me, Magda Polakow. The book is printed onto 170gsm paper (ONE SIDED) + 350gsm cover.

The size of the book is A5 (148 x 210 mm)

Here is a video with all 40 illustrations...

The book is printed one sided, you don't need to be worry about destroying an illustration on the other side of the page even if your Sharpie or other marker bleeds. Fineliners like Stabilo, Staedtler won't bleed. If you want to be more creative, you can create art journal pages on the other side. 170gsm paper is thick enough to take even some acrylic paints. 

I use this book as my art journal!

What to do with colouring pages part 2

Someone made my day today!!! Thank you Samantha!

A few days ago I sent my new colouring page to Samantha and asked her to play a little with it. She surprised me and made three projects using the page! She is so clever, I'm over the moon! I need to show you her projects but first please check out Samantha's amazing blog.

The colouring page is full of cute creatures. Some of you may know my 'Find a Teddy' pages, where cute teddies are hiding but this one is a little different. A lot of various characters and I hope a lot of fun for colouring lover. You can find a colouring page on Etsy

I need to say that my favourite creatures are Donut Beaver and Panda Bear. 

Can you find them?

What to do with colouring pages part 1

Some of you may know that I create colouring pages. Most of them are made especially for adults but many of them because of a cute characters can be a great challenge for a little younger ones too. I create very detailed pages. Most of them are covered by pattern in whole, not only a part of the page. Why is that? I love detailed patterns (a dress from a fabric with my pattern is my dream) but also I can use them in my mixed media artwork.

I know that buying colouring pages separately (not in a book) is more expensive ( there is a few reasons for that but this post is not about that) but if you really like the illustration and have a few ideas how to colour it or use it, I think it is worth to go for it.

Remember, if you buy a colouring page, you can print as many copies as you want! If you don't like a finished effect you can print one more page. What paper to choose? It really depends what you want to do with it. For this post I used my home printer (Epson XP620 - nothing fancy as you can see, normal home printer) and a piece of smooth Bristol. 

Please check out my Etsy shop! You will find a lot of colouring pages there. More to follow!

I coloured a centre of the pattern using colouring pencils and then I sprayed 2-3 mists - Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist. You can use whatever mist you have. There is only one rule when applying mediums - it needs to be transparent - you want to see your pattern!

The big surprise was when I turn the page. In places where the lines of pattern were (on a right side of the page), the mist soak in and gave a really nice effect.

I've made a quick card to show you one of the ways how to use colouring pages, more to follow!
