If you’re looking to give your children some time to relax during the school day, you can use our ready to print Mindfulness Colouring Bookmarks. Let them express themselves and spark their interest about books with this original and unique bookmarks. I prefer to mix my secondary hues (orange/violet/green) from my primaries, I find this helps to further my understanding of colour and adds harmony to a painting, not to mention saving money. Of course, some artists might prefer a discordant feel, where a deliberate imbalance is sought, instead.
Colouring can be considered a type of meditation, because most of the time the process gives our mind a state of peace. That’s because when colouring, a part of our brain, the amygdala, just relaxes and allows our mind to get some rest. I wash over the board or canvas with a warm base colour, then if I decide to leave parts of the canvas bare , this colour adds a glow to the finished painting.When we colour, our two hemispheres of the brain communicate with each other and generate a creative process, helping us to choose colours and stay inside the lines. I use white mainly for skies, water, and to make colours muddier and less intense (like purples and greys). I avoid using white for highlights as the result is sometimes dull or lifeless. Instead, I prefer using Naples Yellow when possible. Enjoy exploring these various topics and have a relaxing and enjoyable coloring experience. Happy coloring! Easy To Print & Color Even if we’re not doing a difficult activity, like solving a maths problem, colouring still requires our brain to focus and put everything aside on that moment. Being required to focus on a task can help us with developing our concentration levels.
When I find a landscape that interests me, and I want to paint it, I take a really good long look at the colours that I will be painting. If the landscape can be painted with a limited palette then I will just squeeze out three to four colours; I much prefer to use fewer colours, but will slowly add more to the palette if I need to. Teaching your kids about a certain topic can be a struggle sometimes and thinking about different resources to do this in a fun and engaging way it will take a lot of time and effort. That’s why we put together our best resources to make sure that you can find whatever you need to create an entertaining lesson for your children. I paint in watercolour, oil and acrylic. Whilst the ranges of colours produced by companies are different (and the names given to similar colours may vary) I have stood by certain colours throughout my career. In general my choice of colours is the same for watercolour and oil/acrylic. With the former I use white gouache rather than a pure watercolour white because it is more opaque. However it is deployed sparingly (if at all) because I like to use the white of the paper. The question refers to squeezing out colours – yes, in the case of watercolour I always use tubes, not pans. What I find fascinating is that nature does the same balancing, and so really we are just learning to see what has already been done by a far superior hand. It’s very important to teach and support children to express themselves. Colouring can be a great way to let them express their feeling and to observe how creative they can be. Everyone is different, and it is important to encourage them to draw exactly how they feel and like to do it. That’s why displaying their masterpieces it’s an excellent idea!

Underpinning my choice is the use of two or (more often) three tints of each main colour, as follows: Colors can drastically change the story behind an image. With a blue sky, emerald river, and houses painted in vibrant palettes, this town can be the best travel destination.
