Coloriage

"Coloriage" is the French term for a page to color. I love this little word, it brings good memories. I was one of these very perfectionist little girls, my mother and grand-mother would happily indulge me with color books, and gush on my progresses. I come from a big family of uncles and brothers mostly, tall and kind and all of them very gifted, so it was a big moment for me. Colors are my thing since then. Do you have " your thing" too? 
I gave a friend who transmitted her lovely talent for sketching to her daughters, I think it's the sweetest thing ever. I find a bit sad that we have expressions like "skeletons in the closet" but not for talents transmitted in a family. There's "the apple didn't fall very far from the tree", but it doesn't express enough the happiness in it. 
 Anyway, for this color page, I put two examples, not models, and a big wreath. Please do as you please, choose the same color way, or something different but complementary, or go for contrasting colors. I sketched and cleaned the lines just I would do for a real illustration for one  of my books, so if you print this on good, strong paper, it should be quite satisfying to color.

On parle souvent des bienfaits du coloriage, zen ou je ne sais quoi d'autre...Pour ma part j'ai appris à mettre des couleurs ensemble comme ça, ce sont de bons souvenirs de petite fille sérieuse. C'est ma Mamette qui m'a appris à choisir des couleurs : tu mets tous tes feutres bien classés en arc-en-ciel, tu en choisis quelque-uns à coté les uns des autres, et un  de l'autre côté pour faire contraste. C'est facile et ça marche...En grandissant j'ai appris à choisir des palettes un peu plus complexes ou différentes, mais je reviens souvent à ce premier jeu. 

Pour ce coloriage là je vous ai nettoyé le dessin en haute def comme pour un dessin pro, alors click click au boulot! ( usage personnel seulement, et montrez-moi le résultat, j'adore voir!)
