Prismacolor Pencil Coloring Thomas Kinkade
I know a lot of people are curious as to how I colored in my Thomas Kinkade stamps (by Cornish Heritage Farms.) So I decided to share the process step by step. Hope you find it helpful.
1. Before you use your stamp for the first time, condition your stamp by cleaning it and scrubbing it several times. Using Stampin' Up! Always Artichoke ink up your rubber stamp. I use a roller for the larger images, however I have used just the ink pad and it works out fine.
What paper to use? I used a very smooth toothed gray paper that I found at our local scrapbooking store. I like SU! Whispering White also, it gives a really crisp image.
2. The first areas to color are your brights. I used Prismacolor Pencils Pink, Pale Vermillion, Crimson Lake and Imperial Violet. Refer back to the stamps label for correct placement of the colors. Work all the areas you can find that have these colors.
3. Now you can start adding more color. Using Mediterranean Blue, Limepeel, Marine Green you can start adding in the blue and green areas. While working with the blues and greens I keep adding more of the pinks, orange, red and violets. Remember you are layering colors on top of colors. Go into the pink areas and add some red and greens. Into the orange areas do the same. And so on. You want to create depth by adding layers of pencils.
4. I use short pencil strokes to color in the image,[url=http://www.sport.fr/smartphones/moncler.asp]moncler homme[/url].
5. Here's a closeup. You can better see here how these layers are beginning to be built up. I've added greens to the water (the reflection of the foliage in the water.) Purples to the sky.
6. I'm now introducing 2 more colors, French Grey 90% and Yellow Ochre. The French Grey is what you use to bring out the details. This is the color I used to bring out all the shadows. The Yellow Ochre was used in the path, the trees and the grass. (And any other areas I wanted to highlight.) Remember, to refer back to your stamp label for color placement and always go back and use other pencils you have used before to continue to add more layers.
7. Detail of with the new colors added in. Notice how the grey really helps to create the depth you are looking for in the drawing. With out it, the image would look flat. Make sure to sharpen you pencils in order to get into some of the finer areas.
