I enjoy coloring and love to share my experience in "coloring between the lines"
with preprinted illustrated pages of specific motifs and seasonal imagery.
I have illustrated several Adult Coloring Books and share with my students the way I approach color with colored pencils.
Students learn how to look and work with color in a new exciting way.
Some of what you learn can be applied to other mediums as well.
