Hi,

I started out as an amateur artist in my younger days but now at the age of 68 I like to color in adult coloring books (especially Dover Publications)That I scan into my art computer and color with ArtRage5.

I am a colorist and I have a lot of pleasant hours pursuing my form of art. Here are a couple of illustrations I recently finished

Hi D. Akey,

Thank you for the encouragement and the welcome! The colorings take a long time to do so I can't post often. What I displayed was probably 8 months work.

But I could be more active in the forum in other ways. I will explore as time allows.

Hi eighty+,

Thank you for replying to my post. It's great to get encouragement from real artists. Do you have your work in the Gallery? I'd like to see it. I don't quite know how to view other peoples work.

Best regards,

Susan

Hi there,

I found my flash drives where I had uploaded some files I did in the past and I have one for you today.
It's called Entangled Butterfly 1 from the coloring book of that name. What's different about this one is that at the end of the coloring I removed or deleted layer 1 which had the black and white picture and voila! the lines that had been left black changed to a brilliant white!

Hope you enjoy,

Great find! I like the white lines, actually. Makes it brighter and shows off the colors like pools on a page or white canvas and where you have dark magenta or black lines it shows up like a variation on a theme. Snazzy design that puts me in mind of lovely turn of the century stained glass designs with light coming through.

As to a place where artists can show their work, there used to be a gallery where artists could bundle up their work in one place on the ArtRage site, but I haven't seen it in a long while. I think your best bet in the case of seeing Eighty+'s work is to just fan through his thread as that's the only place he's posted his work.

Anyway, you keep on with your stuff. It's beautiful.

Hi, terry0205 here,

This is a colored illustration from a Dover coloring book with a gradient background in the 2nd layer.

Very pretty! Love the lyrical curves. Nice line work.

Thanks D Akey,

The illustrator did a fine job with this one. I emphasized the positive that was already there. I'm working on doing some of my own paintings like I used to. This Forum is a nice place to try!

Hi,

I went to my finished pictures folder and selected Garden of Delight. The gradient background for this one is of twilight. Enjoy!

Thank you D Akey. As always a pleasure to hear from you!

Tus pinturas son realmente preciosas y únicas... Mis felicitaciones...

[terry0205]

Hi, I did this coloring a while ago and I added some picture adjustments to make it more interesting and eye catching--I hope I'll show both the original and the edited coloring. See what you think and let me know, please?

Hi,
I'll have posted this image into places. Once as a new thread and now here as part of my thread Colorist. I don't know which way I should do it. Does the forum prefer it a certain way?

Well you have amazing talent and one very steady hand.
I can't imagine how many hours works must go into each one

[Krigen813]

Now we just need June to add some eyes and fur :)

Love great looking flowers Terry. You have a fun style in that piece.

Hi limey-g,

I use these colorings to relax,thence, the steady hand after many hours of practice. The talent comes from a source greater than me. I'm happy you enjoy them!
