Colouring In for Grown Ups Top Tip Número Uno-
Use felt pens on gloss paper, pencil on matt paper.
Despite what they’ll tell you at the printers, felt pen doesn’t rub off of the gloss photographic paper.
And if you’re careful and pay some attention, and experiment, you can build up some shimmer and glow by layering the colours, as they’re all slightly transparent.
This I call it the ‘Chartre’s Cathedral Effect’, because it’s time the Colouring In movement got some wanky terminology behind it.
Ill throw you a free bone here-I usually put a quick layer of yellow over everything! (the only way you’ll know is to try!)
Crayola fat tips are my choice of medium, though 99p shop ones do the trick, also.
I’ve got plans for highlighter pens, too!!
Stay tuned for Top Tip Número Due where I discuss ‘Lines-are you a stayer or a strayer?’
