A Shell Photo I Colored

My Own Coloring

People sometimes ask me to post colored photos of my art. But I've got a secret for you. I'm not really the greatest colorist. I am much better at pen and ink and paper, or pencil and paper, and Calligraphy and Line Drawing. 

But I did color a couple of my own line art images in the last few weeks because people asked me to. I used Aurora colored pencils, naturally! 

So here is one I did this week. Enjoy!

Another Day, Another Shell Page to Color

Shells From the Sea Banner


New Day, New Shell

Today I have a beautiful shell for you. I got this one on a beach in the Philippine Islands a long time ago. There are so many shells there. Long ago the natives used them as a form of money. That really is strange to me. You could go beach combing and go home with money. Wouldn't that be awesome? Shell drawing from coloring book Shells from the Sea

New Shell Image to Color

A New Shell Image for a Friday


It's Friday and time for another shell coloring page you can see and decide if you like my new book, Shells From the Sea. Some people have asked my why I watermark them. Well the short answer is that too many people want things for free. How many hours do you think it takes me to draw my Shell pages? Hours and hours. So while I hope you enjoy them immensely, I do like to eat too. And also I don't want my images on other people's stuff that they then sell. Fair enough? However you can make copies of the pages after you buy my book and color them over and over till you get one the way you want before you frame it! Just please leave my copyright info on the finished product, okay?  Here is my new Shell image for you. Enjoy!

Shell for Today

Shell Photo of the Day

Today's shell coloring image is the second one in my Shells From the Sea Coloring Book. This is a shell I found in Cebu, one of the Philippine Islands. In real life it is Brown with Black and Tan markings. I have always prized it for it's unusual colors. The Philippine Islands have incredible beaches and the water around them is pristine. In places it is so clear you can see much further down than you could ever swim! Your ear drums would burst if you tried to go that deep, yet it looks like you could just reach under water and scoop up the shells. Of course you can color it any way you want. Many colorists choose fantasy colors even for real objects and that's okay. Art should be fun!
