Anyway, I've finally finished my picture I was colouring;
It's from one of the books of postcards from Clarity, and it's what Barbara Grey has been colouring on her You Tubes videos. She did this one a good few weeks ago, so I was late to the party. However, the good thing about You Tube is that you can catch up. It took me around 10 days to colour it, doing a few hours each day. I really enjoyed loosing myself in the colouring.
I've used a selection of Faber Castell, Prisma, and Craola pencils. I've tried to follow Barbara's colouring, but I didn't have all the colours so just used the colours I had, hence the mixture of pencils.
It hasn't photographed well, the colours are more vivid in reality.
There are three books of postcards, so I've got plenty to keep me going.
Well, that's me for tonight, thank you for your lovely comments on my last cards, I do appreciate them and love to receive them., glad you keep coming back.
Take care of yourself and keep safe,

A beautiful colouring page Kate the detail is amazing
Oh Kate, and add in the worries of Coronavirus and it's just one more thing! Thankfully you have good family and neighbors and online friends and lots of cardmaking, right! Oh my friend, this is a such great coloring and your attention to detail is super! The colors are so rich and really stand out. Be safe! x0
It looks great Kate. I started doing the ducks this week but colouring really hurts my fingers so a very slow process. Xxx
This is really lovely Kate. I can't get away with pencils I'm afraid. My work just ends up like a child coloring in a colouring book. John and I are continuing with our lock down until we feel it is safer to emerge. I just feel I need to be much more careful for his sake. It doesn't actually feel like a hardship because we have plenty of ground to move around in and fabulous walks round us. I go out on my bike a couple of times a week and that really is exercise - if I'm being kind I would say the countryside around us is undulating!!! In a car you don't even notice the road is climbing but try cycling!!!! TAke care. Hugs Christine xx
Lovely colouring.
You've done a beautiful job on this piece Kate x
We are so lucky here, beautiful walks and such beautiful scenery.
This is a beautiful scene, love all the different colours. Love it. Marlene
It’s so relaxing to colour Kate as you say the world goes away and all it s troubles can be forgotten for a while...love the design on the card..
We are staying safe and at home as are most of the folk around here....only going out for our weekly shop and following all the government guidance on social distancing...our garden has never been so tended .....take care xxx
This look so good, I love to see what people are colouring, hugs Pops x
Beautiful colouring Kate. I so wish it was something I enjoyed or could even do as so many tell me it's therapeutic.

Gorgeous colouring of the nuthatches Kate and she went on to do the chickens a couple of weeks ago, and then this week the mandarin ducks which you must have too. You probably already know but just in case you haven't seen those. I love the night sky and the moon too. x

Wonderful colouring Kate - I adore the nuthatch - we have one who visits us on occasion in our garden - so pretty. Glad you are managing the lockdown too - things here are okay - but like you say, worrying times. Hugs rachel xx
That is so pretty! That is great that you can sit down and color it in parts. So much more relaxing that way. Be well!
Beautiful colouring, glad you are staying in a stricter lockdown much safer for you. Stay safe xx
I love the image and your coloring is wonderful. House mouse also came out with a postcard coloring book and they are great for cards, loving them. Need to look at the Clarity ones, thanks for the heads up!!
