Coloring Techniques:
Colored Pencils: Your allies for precise details and a vibrant range. Press hard for intense lines or soft for a diffused effect. Experiment with different techniques such as shading and stippling to add texture to your artwork.
Watercolors: If you are looking for a magical touch, watercolors offer you smooth transitions and diluted colors. Dampen the brush, load the color, and play with the amount of water to create incredible effects. Remember that special watercolor paper is your best friend.
Markers: For a more graphic touch and defined lines, markers are the ideal tool. Choose fine-tipped markers for details and thick ones for large areas. Combine colors and techniques for a unique result!
Crayons: A classic option for the little ones. They offer vibrant colors and ease of use. Ideal for covering large areas and creating rough textures.
Tempera: If you like intense and opaque colors, tempera is perfect. You can dilute them with water to create different effects. Experiment with thick and thin brushstrokes to give volume to your drawing.
