Description
Book preview: â–º Click on the name Lech Balcerzak (above) and go to Author Page. See video (1) with examples of high quality images illustrated with beautiful music by the same author. Plus the step by step coloring instructions.
Enjoy the summer of twelve months of the year, while coloring the 51 stunning grayscale photographs and paintings. Every picture is composed to capture details that usually are not seen by an ordinary observer and transformed from color to grayscale using highly sophisticated methods invented by the artist Lech Balcerzak to achieve the best coloring results.
A new supplement: this book contains additional images and themes (e.g. a little girl, a horse, a landscape) made using a different painting technique.
Images are printed on one side on pure white paper weighing 55 pounds. In addition, all photographs are printed on the entire page, with only a left margin, making them massively large and easy to color. All photographs are large, bright and easy to color, even for children (but not for little children).
Medium:
☺ Markers and Gel - you can use them. They might bleed through the page, but don't worry: images are printed on one side. Use a thick cardboard or bristol and put it under your drawing.
☺☺ Colored pencils work very nicely. You'll get the best results using colored pencils instead of markers.
☺☺ Acrylic paints can make colors more vivid. You will get a really nice artistic effect using colored pencils and then dense acrylic paints on a smooth paper weighing 60 pounds (see a description below).
☻ Watercolors are not suggested, but ... you can paint if you use a special way. Read the tip (below, at the end of the text).
We also offer different versions of this coloring book: with white margins or printed on a smooth paper weighing 60 pounds that offers high contrast, more details and absolute sharpness. With this edition you can use colored pencils and acrylic paints concurrently.
From the Author:
I prefer colored pencils as the main medium. Then I put some acrylic paints on it. This is the final retouch, which strengthens the colors or changes the photograph into a painting.
I also like a Matte Opaque Gel Extender Medium (also called Gelex, made by Liquitex). Sometimes acrylics are too transluent to lighten up dark areas. So you can mix Gelex with your acrylic paints to help make them more opaque. Acrylic paints must be dense, without dilution with water. If you need a bright color, just buy it ready for painting in the store. Too much water can destroy paper or photographs. You can mix acrylic colors, but you can not dilute them with water. Have a nice coloring.
Watercolor Tip:
Plain paper is not suitable for painting with watercolors. If you want to paint or color in this way, you should buy sheets of special paper for artists called "watercolor paper", which is resistant to water. You can find it using the Amazon search engine or look in the store in your area.
When you have this paper, just take this book and find a place where people have a copier (xerox). Then copy all page by page images into these sheets of paper. You can even enlarge, darken or lighten them. Now you can paint using watercolors!
