Color with Nan! Modern abstract coloring book
This coloring book page is from page 11 of Random Modern & Abstract Art Adult Coloring Book created by NG Swett and published by 4seasonshelf.
I will be using crayons, but colored pencils or markers would also work just fine. Follow along as I color mine using the short video below.
Get it, print it out, and get ready to color with me!
Nan’s notes on coloring technique
Feel free to color however you like, have fun, and enjoy the process. Sometimes people worry that their coloring isn’t good. But when it comes to coloring, the only thing that matters is that you’re having a coloring adventure. The more you do something, the better you get!
For me, I like to layer colors.
First I pick colors and then lightly color in the major blocks of color. Use whatever colors you want! It’s a coloring page, not a test. So if you’re feeling blue, beige, red, orange, purple, orange, green, whatever — just go with it and see what comes of it. By adding layers, you can adjust as you go til you’re pretty gosh darned pleased with your coloring.
Once the first layer is down, I add stronger colors and heavier layers on top. Sometimes I add details that aren’t on the coloring page. In this case, for example, I wanted a horizon line. But you don’t have to add that or anything else.
If you want to color inside the lines, then do that. If you like to color neatly, then do that. Personally, I like to start off nice and easy and then get nice and rough.
