| Publisher Description: Enjoy the summer of twelve months of the year, while coloring the 36 stunning grayscale photographs. 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. Images are printed on one side on pure white paper weighing 55 pounds. All photographs are bright and easy to color, even for children (but not for little children). See also a similar book: "Next Beautiful Blossoms" by Lech Balcerzak here: https: //amazon.com/dp/1728772753 Mediums: ☺ 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. ☺☺☺ The best set: acrylic paints + colored pencils can make colors more vivid. You will get a really nice artistic effect using colored pencils (first layer) and then dense acrylic paints (second layer). ☺ Watercolors are not suggested, but ... you can paint if you use a special way. Read the tip (at the end of the text). ☻☻ Self-Luminous Paints - There are even paints that glow in the dark - Phosphorescent Paints also called Self-Luminous Paints (not UV paints). These paints generate different colors. Paints that glow in the dark after exposure to artificial light or sunlight ☼. The lighting time depends on the length of exposure and the thickness of the painted layer.☻ Evening Party - Cut out a few pages or copy (see tip), paint and hang your pictures in the bedroom or invite your friends for a party. We also offer different versions of this coloring book: with white margins or printed on a deluxe, smooth, and thick paper weighing 60 pounds that offers high contrast, more details and absolute sharpness. 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. Inside the book you will find my private email, so you can ask me anything you want. A Tip for the Watercolor Lovers and Artists: 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 the 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 darken, lighten and enlarge them to a really big format (e.g. 18 x 24" or even bigger if you like). Now you can paint using watercolors. Using our beautiful pictures as sketches you can not only color, but also practice your painting to become a better artist. |
