Some days I feel like watercoloring, yet don't want to get my stamps out and wait for the ink to dry ect. So this new Watercolor Coloring Book from Altenew is just the ticket!
I remember an IGstories post from Tasnim, over a year ago, where she was playing with floral images on her Ipad or some sort, and I asked if it was for a coloring book :) Tiny hints of what you would like to see in the Altenew product line is a great way of potentially making it happen.
This Coloring book is cleverly designed with many of my favorite floral images!
I'm thrilled to be part of the Watercolor Coloring Book & Watercolor Brushes Release Blog Hop! The full Blog Hop List is at the end of this post.
Take a look at the new
Watercoloring just got a whole lot more fun! Make way for a brand-new, specially-designed Altenew original product - our Watercolor Coloring Book. Recognize the florals?

Here is my first project using a Black lined image page from the new Coloring Book and Watercolor Brush Refills along with Artists' Watercolor Round Brushes
After the messy watercoloring was thoroughly dry, I took the Brush Fine Liner pen and added more doodle lines to the image. I simply retraced and double lined some petals and leaves for a whimsical look. Trimmed the panel down and mounted it onto a stenciled A2 cardbase.
Featuring:

For the next Watercolor Coloring Book Gray outlined image page, I used the Artists' Watercolor Detailed Brushes and Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set for a No-Line coloring look.
I left the panel untrimmed in hopes of framing it at a later time.

Absolutely STUNNING! I love the yellow and blue combo!
Great colors - love the purple unframed. Really like this idea of a "coloring book" with these sheets ready to go with Altenew's beautiful florals. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful work. I like your second one best but they are both stunning.
Wonderful and inspiring!!
Absolutely Amazing cards!!! Love the bold colors on your first one!!!!
Gorgeous coloring! I need your skills! Love the cheerful colors of the first card... so bright with the yellow hues. The lavender is so pretty! Thanks for the inspiration!
What beautiful cards!! I love the vibrant colors and splatters of the first one, and the CAS design of the second!
Beautiful cards with different vibes. Love them
I like how different the three cards are. My favorite is the first one with the extra doodles. Bright colors and whimsical. <3
Beautiful and bright! Thank you
Gorgeous images!! I love watercolor!!
Such pretty examples. What a great coloring book! Love your messy water coloring and the doodles.
I especially love the purple flowers--the technique. I also LOVE the flowers :) The first one--how cool to add the outline of the flowers. You ladies have such unique ideas, I am just in awe...
Such beautiful designs and lovely painting by you!
I just love the lavender flowers they are so very pretty.
Stunning watercolor panels Laura Jane, love these illustrations and I am very excited about the brushes ! Thanks for the inspiration!
I really like how you chose to color the first card...so vibrant for a watercolor. The lavender card is very pretty too.
Such bold colour! These are all gorgeous!
I had to giggle when I read "I simply retraced and double lined some petals". Simple for you! But the whimsy that resulted in combination with the bright water colors makes me want to try that too. Such a happy piece. The no line purple flowers are elegant and definitely suitable for framing. Thanks for two very different but equally inspiring pieces!
What a great addition to the floral, the extra sketching around the petals. I love the brush storage case. Great for keeping the brushes safe. Beautiful cards and showcasing this release. Always a nice finish on this stop on the hop. Off to more pretty hopping.
Beautiful cards. Your purple flowers are stunning.
Wow, what beautiful images to watercolor! You are so inspiring!
Simply enchanting, and so colorful! Enjoyed how much detail you have in the purple floral piece!
Great color page shares. I like the poppy as well. Great looks.
Fabulous cards, such an amazing colours together, love it x
The colors in the first and third cards are my faves! I love the looseness of the watercoloring & I'm hoping to learn how to do that at some point! That purple piece is so deserving of that frame! I love all of the tones of purples and blues in the petals!!
Love the blues in your leaves... so Beautiful. And the purple flower is so elegantly colored.
Gorgeous cards! Love the watercoloring!
Your no-line watercoloring is gorgeous!

Stunning examples for us as always Laura Jane. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Stunning cards, Laura Jane! I love your colours on these beautiful flowers, so different, but equally stunning!! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Stay safe! :)
WOWza... absolutely creatively inspiring! Your color palettes are gorgeous!!
The contrast between the two cards show how versatile these colouring pages are. No matter what your style these will be so much fun to colour.
Bold and beautiful, gorgeous stunning purples. Loved the doodling and what a great idea to go over top of an embossed stencil background. I have created so many backgrounds in different mediums. Now I have another way to use them.
Love the boldness of the yellows, wow, it really pops, and makes me smile. And that purple - amazing coloring. Can't wait to try your techniques.
I love the purple no line coloring flowers. So professional looking. I also think the bold colors on the other card was very creative.
Wow! Love seeing everyone's style come out.
Gorgeous! I love the yellow background on the first card!
Oh my goodness I absolutely adore the one in purple! I am slightly obsessed with purple so that one just really is gorgeous
