Secret Garden #5 - Wishing Well

After colouring my first three pieces from Johanna Basford's Secret Garden Colouring Book (Artist's Edition) in symmetrical form and colouring my last one (Rainbow Tree) non-symmetrically (even though the artwork was drawn symmetrical), finally here comes one piece that's not drawn symmetrically.

And that can only mean one thing....free-hand...no rules, no remembering what exact colours to use (for the corresponding similar parts), no need for balance and consistency.....:)

Work in Progress #1

But, before I go completely crazy with free-hand, I need to rein in some rules so that I don't go overboard! ;)

Work in Progress #2

Work in Progress #3

 My approach to this piece, even though the artwork isn't symmetrical in nature, was to colour similar (or almost) parts (like leaves with the same design) with the same colours to achieve some form of consistency.

 Without going overly colourful with the flowers (which you can if you don't control yourself), I restricted myself to shades of pink, red and purple for both the flowers on the ground and in the air...with the exception of a splash of blue.

Here's my completed Wishing Well....just for you!

Hey, Christmas is just round the corner...so, make a wish....at my Wishing Well ^_*....and I hope you get all that you wished for...and more!

I'm ready for my next colouring assignment! ^.^

      Well, you may have that talent, you just don't know it yet until you do a colouring piece...hehe! ;D Anyway, you have other talents that I don't have....like baking and gardening :)

    gosh, when i looked at the uncoloured artwork, it looked really daunting, as it's so intricate. but you did a really nice job of filling everything in progressively and making it look (deceptively?) easy :D

    It is easy...just needs patience...hehe! :D The intricacy of the artwork is the very reason why I love Johanna Basford's work! ^o^
