The New Chinoiserie Coloring Book - K P Singh - Bog

The New Chinoiserie Coloring Book is a love letter to wallpapers, textiles, and ceramic art of the 18th century. Highly detailed illustrations are drawn with extra fine lines to help you produce finished art that is ready to frame. You'll find this collection of thirty stylized motifs presented in two ways: conventional black-outline coloring pages, and a new style of light-outline coloring pages. This new style gives colorists room to develop their own level of detail as the printed line recedes into the background. Whichever style of print you prefer, the additional copy of each design can be used to reduce bleed-through or for experimenting with techniques. While some people might consider this collection appropriate for advanced colorers-the fine lines are easily drawn over-and will still look great with a looser, more abstract approach to coloring. Included in your purchase is a link to download five of the illustrations as free printable greeting cards.
______________ K.P. Singh is an illustrator and fine artist. Her contemporary homage to chinoiserie is expressed through her bespoke hand-painted wallpapers and textile designs. She incorporates flora and fauna from her home in Southern California into this lovingly crafted, new chinoiserie collection. This is her first coloring book.
______________ Subjects include: birds, trees, lemons, chrysanthemums, peonies, tulips, tulipieres, vases, urns and ginger jars, tea cups, tropical foliage, butterflies and moths, tigers, snakes, a little porcelain doggy, portrait and landscape style compositions, repeating patterns, and symmetrical patterns. Take advantage of the unique, hand-drawn art and extra copies of each image by applying the designs to your embroidery, cross stitch, or watercolor projects. To do so, apply graphite or transfer paper to the back of the image and use a pen or stylus to press the design through. For tips on how to transfer these designs to watercolor paper and tutorials on painting techniques, check out the link provided in the book.
