New Colorist :-)

Howdy folks,
My name is Wendy and I've fallen head over heels in love with adult coloring.  I'm nowhere near being an "artist" and even after 3 different drawing classes over several decades I can't draw a straight line (or a curve for that matter).  But even with a bit of a shaky hand, I can color another person's drawings.

I've always loved color.  For about 15 years I scratched the itch by growing flowers.  Then did a 14 year stint training my German Shepherds for obedience and sheep herding competitions.  Now I can finally create the subtle tones that drew me to gardening and I'm really enjoying the challenge.

Due to an unusual financial situation, I was put in the position of buying my art supplies now, knowing that I would not be able to add items in the future.  It's barely possible that I may have gone overboard  

I'm currently enjoying solvent and water based markers.  Waiting in the wings, I also have pastels, colored pencils and water color pencils. 

It's wonderful to have found a forum of folks that are enjoying this hobby as much as I am.


Happy Coloring,

Wendy

Hi Wendy! It's never possible to go overboard when buying art supplies!!! OK, well, actually that's probably what I always do

Very interesting to hear about the relationship between flower-growing and art creation for you. I also love to grow plants. Since I love to draw monsters, I find inspiration in the "creatureness" of plants. Sometimes they have such personalities!

Hello Wendy.  I feel the same way you do about coloring.  Cant draw at all but love to play around in the world of colors.  I have enough coloring books to keep busy every day so not look for new ones.  Same for pencils.  What are some of your favorite books?
