The geometric one is an interesting and different type of design. I like the tree - I can imagine that in all sorts of different colours and being transformed - it looks very restful and autumnal here.

It's a pinecone
I knew it was a pine cone! Of course, I have 4 white pines in my back yard, so the lawn is littered with pine needles and cones just now.
It's a pineconeOr at least it's supposed to be
The paper in this book is very textured. My coloring come out a bit streaky. And the pencil colors rub off onto the back of the previous page.

OK, so I took a break from Fall cleaning and decided to color a bit. I used markers and colored pencils. Not the best because I just used regular computer paper, but it works.

As I sat coloring just now, realized I never actually answered this. So you have your colored pencil - Prismacolor or Crayola, doesn't matter. You know you want purple. So you pick that one up. For a pastel color, you want a rounded tip, and you only layer 2 or 3 times. For the bright sharp color, you want a fine point, and then layer 8 or more times. Same pencil, one way is pastel, the other way is bold.
Oh My, WOW! That stained glass is awesome! And the black cat makes such a striking contract that both stand out quite distinctly.
I don't think I could have done the window nearly as beautifully. Did you see it in your mind first? Or think about which color should go where? I wouldn't know where to begin, to have the result look so realistic.

Thank you for all the info, Fyllis. Yes I also pull up the color wheel now and then.
I guess what I meant was . . . how did you decide to put orange on the right? That makes it look like the sun is shining in at an angle, it is perfect! (Should I say PURRfect?).
Anyway, thanks for the reply.

I bet you also learned something by reflecting on how you did that glass, lol. It really is mood, instinct and such.
Love that still life. Great greens in there!

I bought my first colouring book today. I got the gold magic book and can't wait to try it out.
I just got my new Johanna Basford book...lost ocean. Just started the first picture in it...not much progress yet but here it is so far.
Love the sound of that new book @catlover19 , I hadn't heard of it and had to look it up on line - it looks gorgeous. Enjoy the more detailed colouring.
@newmamaof3 The Lost Ocean book looks lovely: I haven't looked to get it as in some ways it is similar to the Secret Garden one I bought when it first came out and wanted different things for different moods. The designs are great though, and I love what you have done so far. Enjoy. I love her first book.

Tried out my new colouring book this morning. I'm not used to colouring with pencil crayons yet so it's a little slopp but I know I will get better.
What are pencil crayons @catlover19 ? Are they like the ones from Crayola that you twist? I've only been sporadically lurking in this thread so if ya'll have discussed it I've missed it.
The Prismacolour premier ones I have are pencil crayons effectively as they are wax based.
I like how you have coloured the tree @catlover19.
Pencil crayons are just coloured pencils. It's just what we call them here.
