Introduction to Coloring Class

Earlier this year, I took an Introduction to Coloring Class taught by Peggy Jo Ackley of Pink Ink Stamp Company. I immediately knew Peggy was going to be a great teacher when I showed up at Scrappin' Goodtime and everything was ready for the class to begin. And, of course, I really liked how those colored pencils looked all divided up by color!


In this class, Peggy shared a step-by-step process for layering techniques with colored pencils. We began by adding the lightest colors, then layering additional colors to add depth and shadows. I especially like how she had examples of each step in the process for us to follow.


For each stamped image we colored, there were materials to create greeting cards.


I didn't finish my cards during the class, but after I returned home I put them together.


I enjoyed the class and really like the way the cards turned out. Since then, I've used this layering technique with many of my coloring projects!

  2. Now that does sound like a fun class. Your cards have turned out lovely, I think my favourite is the blue chair.

  3. I can actually almost see how the technique works from the photos - too bad I never think of that when I'm actually coloring!
