The Mystic Hare Four Seasons Design and Colouring Book: A mystical relaxing destressing art and design colouring book for adults and children with animals and astrology to colour and enjoy - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A colouring book for adults and children of all ages featuring over 40 unique hand drawn designs for you to colour and to add your own individual designs to create your very own art works. The designs are themed around the four seasons with a range of animals and astrological signs. This is more than just a colouring book however; some of the designs are deliberately left open for you to add your own design elements. You’ll be able to develop your own creativity as well as your colouring skill as you enjoy completing the designs. There are even some blank pages at the end of the book for you to practice on. I find designing and colouring a very soothing thing to do and a real stress buster, and it’s so much nicer to develop your creativity rather than just to watch TV. Here are some ideas for design elements that you might think about incorporating, and you might also look around you for inspiration, perhaps in fabrics, clothing, product packaging and of course the patterns that you’ll find in nature such as waves, clouds, leaves, pine cones and so on. All of my work is hand drawn, and now it’s time for you to become part of the creative process as you turn these outlines into your own unique works of art. My hope is that you’ll experience much more than the satisfaction of adding colour to the images, you will also feel the pleasure of steering your own designs. I would always encourage you to embellish and add design elements to each page even if they are outside the image. So let yourself go and think outside the box! About Emma I originally trained as a textile designer in the 1980s at Dewsbury & Batley Art College, West Yorkshire and more recently I have turned to other media including canvasses, prints, glassware, ceramics, stained glass and fabrics. The creative process can’t be constrained to one medium and I encourage you to try out your design ideas in different ways too. My work is highly illustrative and much of it is more design-led as opposed to ‘fine art’, featuring a combination of natural themes as well as more abstract or geometric patterns. I feel that these concepts connect me back to my artistic roots in textile design, and draw on many of the themes that I personally enjoy exploring. Many of my designs are spiritual in nature as I have been inspired by the tarot and astrology, and you might also like to explore the symbolism of the designs in this book as you enjoy adding your own colours and themes. You use symbols every day; language, icons, road signs, even brand logos, and the symbols that you are drawn to say something about you, so do explore them as you add your own individuality to these pages, and as you do that, you will discover your own unique style as I have discovered mine. You might recognise that style running through these pages, as well as different ideas that I continually incorporate as my work evolves. Whether you’re enjoying this book to develop your creativity or just to relax your mind, you can find a connection with the images and the natural world that they represent and perhaps discover more about yourself in the process. Have fun!
