Daytime vs nighttime coloring (colored pencil)

July 20, 2020 by Sandy Allnock 60 Comments Filed Under: Colored Pencils

The Ellen Hutson Summer of Stamping CONTINUES! Another fun new release is upon us since it’s Monday….and this time it’s a partnership with Avery Elle…critters in a canoe!! I crowded them all in to go for a ride together…and they seem to be getting along so far! ha!

Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.

I had the idea to do a nighttime card – but also wanted to color the critters the way most people would too, with a limited selection of colors…so you get BOTH in the video! Look at these cuties called Peekaboo Camp Wanna Stamp!

Daytime canoeing

If I were to canoe, it’d sure be by day! Colored on cream Neenah, and including just a little bit of water and a few flies buzzing around, it’s a great clean and simple card that’d be great for a guy’s birthday!

I did all this coloring with just four Prismacolor pencils:

Nighttime card

This is the one I don’t know if many will try – but I just had to give it a try once the idea was in my head! I used an old highly-textured piece of navy blue paper (no idea what brand – but something smoother would be easier than this!)….and only TWO pencils!

The blue you choose should be transparent enough that it falls off into the dark paper easily; if it stays too bright that means it’s opaque, and you’ll have a harder time getting the shading to go all the way to dark. There’s a lesson all about this in Colored Pencil Jumpstart if students want to review that for how to pick a color that’ll work well.

For my Copic friends

I also colored this stamp set in markers – you can see this later today on my IGTV!

    Cute images. I like how you always find a different way to color a stamp. So creative. The monochromatic card is very interesting – I tend to go for lots of color, but this is very eye-catching. Thanks, Sandy for the art lesson. Thanks, Ellen, for the chance to win!

    Sandy, as always, you make it look so easy! I love these, especially the night scene on blue (my favorite color)! But I’m rather jealous — they are all sitting so close together without social distancing or masks! I can’t wait for a time when us people can do that again too!
