Colouring Books/Coloring Books

Thank you, Beverly.
I have set up an account there.....
I would think that in true aspie style, I want to build a desk with a leaning top like a drafting table so I can work with these easier, then research the markers.....I want to do a bear poster first using what are known as the 7 scared colors..black, red, yellow, white, green, brown and blue and give this to my Aunt Joyce, a mentor, an inspiration and an Elder...(and an artist and a good cook)
 
Looks like just good therapy to me...whether you're contemplating a masterpiece or just trying to relax. :)

I like Prismacolor brand markers, nice fine points and, a lot of ink. They aren't the top of the line but, they aren't cheap either. I think they have some of the most true to life colors of any of the higher end markers, and they're fine for a hobby, for me. Copic is about the best you could get but, the cost might not be worth it for a hobby.

I'm no artist with a pen, I just like to color so, as with most things I own, upper middle class is fine for me.

I bought a coloring book and colored pencils for my husband a couple of years ago as a joke. He loved it, said it helped relieve stress, and became quite creative in his color selections. I've always liked the oil paint-by-number kits and did them a lot when I was growing up. Nowadays I dabble with water colors.
 
I also enjoy coloring books. My favorites are ones of famous paintings. I found most of my coloring books at thrift stores too, so it’s been an economical pastime, as well as engaging.
