About the Colouring In Page

COMING INTO SHORE

This colouring in page is a free download for you to print out and colour in

It is taken from a drawing that I, Mandy, did in the late 90's

It was drawn using Faber Castel and Derwent pencils on a black leathercraft paper

Here are the colours that I used in the original, next to the example of the page for you to print out and colour in

.......

and here is a larger version of the drawing - so that you can put it on your screen, have a closer look and use it like a jigsaw puzzle/colour by numbers if you want to

COMING INTO SHORE

.

The Meaning Behind the Drawing

The drawing is about having nearly completed a project ... all the hard parts are done - your nearly there -

after the rocky ride in the emotional turmoil of getting through it all - your coming into shore



It partners with a drawing about the beginning stages of building something -called Planting The Earth

About Having More Arty Fun

Have you ever thought about playing with watercolour



I can show you some really simple exercises

that anyone can do ..... and love



Coloured pencils are fun - I know!

because I was a coloured pencil artist for 20 years

and I loved it



But there is even more fun to be had with watercolour and markmaking



its the next step in growing your artistic skills

and the methods I show you

expand your creativity and freedom



you still get to use your pencils

and its so much better



I can show you a simple pathway to explore art

that is way more relaxing

where there is no right or wrong

where the art you create is ALL YOU



and with my simple direction

all the artworks you create are beautiful

If you are ready to create something free, loose and ORIGINAL- I can help you

so start with the free course ... and if you like my style of teaching - then there are plenty more options



I create art workshop books and send them all over the world with artisinal watercolour paint that I make

a photo of the booklet leaning against a framed artwork an example of the abstract watercolour patterns that you can make an example of stamp painting with a white tree icon over a stamped background a shot of the swatch painting workshop booklets a front cover view of the workshop booklet an intuitive abstract painting by Mandy

These books are all about an easy step by step program to explore Abstract Art



This was the same pathway that I took

to go from being a lyrical coloured pencil artist, creating works like the drawings I am sharing here

- to becoming an abstract watercolour and multimedia painter

and having more fun with creating art than i have ever had before



you can too

About the Artist

Hi - I'm Mandy and I help people expand thier creativity and discover a real freedom,joy and originality in their work

by branching out into easy abstract markmaking art



I shall explain



For 30 years, as a career artist, I spent every day creating art that has meaning - tells a story - says something

and - I LOVED IT

but I always deep down wanted to be free and loose



Everything that I drew had a certain shape, a certain line

it had portent and meaning

which is great



but its also restrictive - and has boundaries

If you dont get that line right ... then it looks wrong



So when I finally broke through - and discovered the freedom in just painting for paintings sake

by just using simple spashes of colour and markmaking patterns

I can honestly say I have never enjoyed being an artist more



There is so much liberation in just letting the paint flow

and looking at the colours blend

and not having to SAY something



There is a freedom in abstraction and patterning

a relaxation and a letting go with the chaos of watercolour



and ITS YOUR ORIGINAL ART

its all you



instead of looking at wether your tree looks like a tree

you are looking at your work thinking about the balance of shapes and colour

this process makes you think about the fundamentals of a painting

and not the surface story



this makes you a MUCH better artist



Its easy

and free

so check it out and see what you think
