Garden Rabbit - Ken Matsuda Art

This rabbit is actually one of my favorite drawings by Ken Matsuda.

I've almost been afraid of how I would feel about it 

after I colored it, so I've put it off until now.

I must say, though, that I'm happy with the result.

The tiny details proved to be trying on the eyes!

I'm so grateful to have fallen in love with adult coloring.

It's truly been a very relaxing hobby for me.

And the products required don't take up very much room in my craft area!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Lisa

Cock of the Walk - Ken Matsuda Art

 I'm a little obsessed with coloring right now, 

but unafraid of burn out....

too many fabulous artistic, unusual drawings to peak my interest!

You'll understand why I titled this coloring "Cock of the Walk". 

WOW!

You can just TELL that he's struttin' his stuff!

I researched roosters on the internet to get an idea of their coloring. 

I was totally BLOWN AWAY!!!!

The colorful roosters are incredibly stunning birds!

I honestly never knew this about them.

They have bright yellows, orange, red, purples, blues 

and even irridescent emerald greens!

I felt that 'anything goes' with a rooster. 

So, that's what I did.....made Mr. Handsome very colorful!

I did learn something in my coloring of him.

In some areas, I had too many layers of colors

 that were all applied with more than the usual pressure. 

This caused waxy build up. UGH!

But, I've learned & hopefully won't make this mistake in the future. 

Thx for visiting & have a wonderful day!
