My mom works with kids so she collects a lot of coloring pages, so I decided to turn this one into a coloring page before coloring it myself.The finished watercolor piece that is now hanging in my mom’s bedroom 🙂
This piece is from October 2019. I made it for my mom in celebration of her 22 years of sobriety on November 19th 2019 🙂 She loves burgundy and silver so I knew I had to incorporate those somehow. I used primarily watercolor but the silver was done with gel pen.

Gorgeous! I have some old coloring pages — including mandalas. I’d never thought of completing them with watercolor! It was coloring pages that got me started on my personal journey toward becoming an artist. 🙂
I’ve always loved coloring pages, never considered that one day I might be making them myself! I consider coloring to be an art form in and of itself. I’ve seen some people get really creative! It’s definitely a separate skill at the very least. When I was drawing a bunch of anime in middle school, as middle schoolers tend to do, I had pretty good line work but my coloring skills were severely lacking. Getting better at coloring has made a lot of difference!
