Thank you @LTS3 , I really like that 3rd one too. It lept out at me that night and is one of my favourites. It was lovely to do, very restful despite being quite fine.
Those are often the best holidays.Nice pictures, MServant :happy2: I really like the third picture. It's a simple image but sometimes simple is best I haven't started any coloring since the last one. I'll pick up again next week while I'm on vacation from work. I'm not going anywhere, just sticking around home.

You know what I'd love to do? Of course you don't. Silly question.Ooh - can you give me some tips on how to get the best out of watercolour pencils? I have a few tins of them (including Derwent Watercolour and Derwent Inktense), but at present am only using them like normal pencils. I'd love to be able to make the most of them.
I use the computer mouse. I do have a Wacon tablet and pens, but I just can't get the hang of using it, so I've given up. The tablet is sitting under a mound of papers on my desk and for awhile it was being used as a place mat for my dinner. There is just a disconnect between holding an object like a pen, but having to look elsewhere to see what is happening. I think if I had one of those monitors where you use the pen on the screen while looking at the same screen, it would be easier.
Nice digital coloring, Natalie_caDo you use a regular computer mouse to color or do you have one of those pen and computer drawing pad thingies?
Wow, I am seriously impressed! I assumed you must be using a pen type system as they are so detailed and fine in parts. Love some of the colours and how they blend.

The pears are really restful to look at @LTS3 . The one you're working on now is a lot busier, and I love the little insects in there. Do you find you choose different types of design depending on how you're feeling on a particular day?
Quite a few of us bought the Creative Cats bookCreative Haven's Creative Cats book is awesome as are the Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest. Johanna Basford has another coming out at the end of October called the Lost Ocean. Can't wait to get started on that one. Glad to see there are some fellow colorers out there
Yep, it counts! It's still colouring, only done on a computer instead of using pencils/crayons and paper.It seems easy but it's very hard to fill in all the little spots and pick colors. The great thing about this is that if I'm not happy with the result, I can create a copy and change the copy or just overwrite the colors.
Everyone is doing great! The thread does seem to have slowed down a little. Keep up the great work!
