40+ Animated GIFs of the Grayscale Coloring Process

7/14/2016

 
In celebration of the release of my new grayscale coloring book, Beautiful Nature, I thought it would be fun to do an "eye-candy" post. Grab a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy watching this collection of animated GIFs from Beautiful Nature. Watch as three incredible colorists transform over 40 grayscale images to fully colored works of art!

The collection of GIFs is included in the following video but I have also included them individually in the post below. That way you can watch your favorites over and over again as well as find out which colorist colored which picture and the mediums they used. 
 

Video of the Collection of Animated GIFs

The GIFs Posted Individually

I've broken the collection into:
  1. Flowers
  2. Plants
  3. Landscapes

​​Under each image you will find information about the materials used & the colorist. All of these pictures were colored by three very talented colorists:

Ann Reid: Ann is known for her unbelievable ability to capture every detail of an image and achieve a truly photo realistic result. Check out her wonderful & informative step-by-step grayscale coloring tutorial for getting lifelike results. 

Jones Flores: Jones is a master of vibrant color, often using unrealistic colors relative to the subject while getting fabulous and eye-catching results. Check out her awesome grayscale coloring tips in a recent "Advice From a Colorist" blog post. Learn more about Jones on her Facebook art page. 

Julie Ann Flores (yes, Jones & Julie are sisters! Talent clearly runs in the family!!): Julie does all her work in acrylic paint. She achieves her incredibly deep and vibrant colors through layers of paint. It is wonderful to see these coloring pages serve as the foundation for a painting! I will be interviewing Julie very soon for an upcoming "Advice From a Colorist" post. We will learn all about her techniques and process for painting a grayscale picture. I can't wait to learn from her! Learn more about Julie on her web site.

I hope you found these animated GIFs as inspiring as I did. I'm off to color. Right now I'm working on both the chrysanthemums and the forest of birch trees!

Happy Coloring!

Nicole I love ur pictures and want to learn them so badly. I have tried even watched the videos, but they go so fast its hard to see each step. I am a little slow at learning things, so if u have one or one of the other colorist that goes step by step one one or more I would love it! I have ordered all ur books and am in the process of learning would just Like a slower version of them thank u and thanks for great pictures!!

Thank you, Rona!!

There is a really neat online tool called YoutubeSlow: http://www.youtubeslow.com/ - just go to the site and then paste in the link to the YouTube video that you would like to see in slower motion and then set how slow and the tool will slow it down for you. Hopefully you will find that helpful!

Also, here's a link to a step-by-step written tutorial (with pictures) for coloring a grayscale animal: http://www.huelish.com/grayscale-coloring-techniques/a-grayscale-coloring-tutorial-for-lifelike-results

You might also want to consider joining our Facebook coloring group focused around my books. All the members are so wonderful and great about helping each other out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/427491640779965/

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions as you go!

I have just joined your group, I am amazed at how beautiful your drawings are. Hopefully I will be able to get the books in the near future.. I just love watching your videos, I am learning so much from them.

I am new at this GIF thing, I do not know the abbreviation of this word but I am still learning a lot.

I am also glad that today I got to follow a few links that brought me to your page, and read a few comments..The one that I liked the best was the one where I can get the step by step instruction to see them in slow motion, thank you for answering to Rona's question on July 7 2016.

I look forward to this new group and all the wonderful and inspiring pictures that will come out of this.

Thank you for helping so many artist become more knowledgeable about this wonderful art of coloring..

Regards,

Nicole
