I've finished four more 50 State Quarter coloring pages: Vermont, Maryland, South Dakota, and Florida. I went back to basics, as these are all done with Crayola crayons.
There's something relaxing and fun about coloring with crayons (good quality crayons, that is), but crayons are not the best choice for these specific coloring pages. It is really difficult to get into the small spaces, particularly the letters. Crayons don't blend well, so I struggled with trying to use the limited colors I have to create textures and shadows.
Curious to see how other art materials have behaved on these coloring pages? So far, I've used:
- Ohuhu Kaala markers (Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Wisconsin)
- ink and Prismacolor colored pencils (Connecticut, Idaho, Missouri, Montana)
- Flair pens (Delaware, Indiana)
- Sharpies (Maine, South Carolina)
- Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 (Colorado, New Hampshire)
- Folk Art acrylic paint (Wyoming, Rhode Island, Mississippi, Michigan)
It's been so interesting trying out different materials. I have some clear favorites, but I'm going to wait until I finish all 50 coloring pages before ranking my choices. It feels like I've been working on this for a long time (because I have) and I'm not even halfway through!
