OCTOBER FAN OF THE MONTH WINNER: GLORIA THOMPSON

When did you first pick up a coloring book?

When I was a child, then discovered it again in 2018.

Describe your perfect coloring atmosphere.

In a relaxing area which is in my bedroom listening to music

Tell us about your creative process when you get ready to color.

I tend to look for something that presents a challenge to my skills whether it is within a landscape or a mandala.

How has coloring changed or added to your life?

I always want to be doing something creative so coloring provides me with that creative outlet.

What advice would you give someone who isn’t confident about their coloring technique?

The advice I would give is to not worry about whether your coloring is correct. Whatever or however a person is coloring is the best way that person should be coloring. It's their style and that person should own it and not worry about (or ask for) the opinions of other people.

What’s your favorite ColorIt book?

Colorful Quilts.

What title would you like to see in the future?

Lighthouses. More mythical people and animals.

Is there anything else you want to share about your love of coloring?

Thank you for finding my artwork worthwhile. Unlike a lot of colorists, I do not require the act of coloring as a stress reliever because I have very little stress in my life. I just plain enjoy doing it!

AND HERE ARE THE OTHER WINNERS:

Christina really gave us quite the treat with this beautifully colored page from the 2020 Calendar. Spectacular color palette, Christina! Love this so much!

Who didn't dress us up a witch during Halloween at one point in their lives, right? The purple hair makes this witch the coolest in the block! Really awesome, Donna!

We know Halloween is supposed to be all spooks and scares, but we can't help but admire how pretty Theresia made this page! Great job, Theresia!

Is this not the baddest witch you've ever seen? She looks like she's cooking up some fun! We'd love to join her! (And maybe also ask her what brand hair dye she uses.) We adore this, Joan!

Susan's unique way of coloring the words "Trick or Treat" really won us over! Keep freeing your creativity, Susan! 🧡

Thank you for submitting your entries. Til the next Fan of the Month! 🦋
