Fairy Leaf Boat from Enchanted Forest

Hi!  I worked on this next colouring project for over 20 hours.  I experimented with blending and with lighting.  It was quite a challenge.  I used mostly watercolour pencils, gel pens, and artistic pens.  It's the best work I have done to date.  It's also from the Enchanted Forest colouring book.  I added to the original picture by putting a few stars in the background, and by creating a second larger circle to add a background.  It was a lot of work, there was a lot of detail in the picture, such as the sea foam.

Two Page Spread from Enchanted Forest



Hi :)  My friend Briony and I decided to colour in one of the two-page pictures together from the book Enchanted Forest.  Briony did the foreground on the right and I did the foreground on the left as well as the background.  I decided to have a go at something a bit harder and I tried to capture the lighting of a sunrise.  I used gel pens, watercolour pencils as well as artistic pens.  The sky was a lot of work but it was also very challenging and very interesting to do something a bit more creative and artistic.
