Robin Colouring - Welcome Spring

 This robin colouring is perfect to welcome the first days of spring.  You can find this image in the March Kit and Clowder monthly class.

While gathering the copic markers I was going to use I realized that this was going to be a first for me.  Intimidating!  You bet it was!  I had never coloured a bird image before!!  

It all came together and I must admit I am pleased with the result.  No plans to make a card at the moment.  I may look around for a frame instead.

I found that breaking the image into categories like leaves, berries and flowers made the image less intimidating. 

I started with the leaves and then moved on to the berries and flowers. 

Colouring sections or categories seems to work well for me. There is never enough time to do a complete image in one sitting these days.

Do you find yourself doing bits and pieces when time allows also?

This  picture was taken before the back ground was added.  
I think it looks good either way! 

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Colouring!
