Adult Color Books: Rough Seas

Coloring, Creativity

Fine-point sharpies come in handy once again! This interpretation of this “rough seas” coloring page was a lot of fun to color, and was completed after two sittings. Coloring is a creative outlet that encourages planning and creativity. Share your coloring experiences with me

Adult Color Books: Only 5 Colors

Coloring, Creativity

This coloring page was completed using only 5 colors (red, orange, green, blue, and yellow). I chose to use fine point sharpies for two reasons, they come in vibrant colors and they blend without looking streaky. You can find fine point sharpies at any craft store or online (click here)
