Owl (google search- owl coloring page)

Hi Everyone, it’s Amy with expressionsvinyl.com and today I am going to show you how I made this fun coloring project using adhesive vinyl, wood, paint, and gel markers.

You can find a ton of free coloring pages on google. That is how I found this owl image. The first thing I did was trace the image and size it to whatever wood piece I was going to use. This one is an 11x11. After cutting and weeding the image, I applied transfer paper, and used the application tool to smooth out the transfer paper. After that I removed the backing paper and applied the image to the board. Then removed the transfer paper to begin coloring.

Just to give you a heads up, the painting aspect was lengthy to complete. I worked on it a little bit each day but it was fun to paint. I like the multi-color effect so I used a mixed selection of acrylic paints.

If you look closely at this image, you may see that there are some very thin lines. Instead of trying to paint those thin lines I added various colors of vinyl to apply as needed. Another way I filled in small pieces was by using gel markers to color in.
