Hellllloooo Friends! It’s me again can you believe it lol. Today is Day 14. pretty much the middle of the challenge! C.R.A.Z.Y. how time flies!
Remember yesterdays pineapple from Concord & 9th? I finished coloring it. Yay!
Honestly this was so much fun to color & I wish I had time to color some of flowers to pop on top of my pineapple. The stamp set also has the shaded stamps so you use ink for some of the shading.
Here is another slide show to show the process. Keep in mind that the color numbers don’t matter .. just get in there and pluck any ole’ color and make it work for you.
The “Pineapple Perfection” was stamped with this grey ink. This is how it looks before I attack those nooks & crannies with a 0.03 and a sharpie. (except for the green part that I did yesterday)
When things are illustrated like this there is usually some blanks spaces and it’s up to the “artist” to interpret what to do with those spaces. Somewhere along the line I learned to color them a dark color. Well …. I did do that but, I also added some berries cause I love berries.
I did add some dots with a white gel pen. Here you can see it larger where I added the berries. Berries are easy because it’s just a circle shape.
That’s it for today and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Oh my, I told you yesterday I could hardley wait to see the finished image, well I don’t have words enough to tell you how amzing you and your artwork are! So beautiful, the colours so fibrant and yes the black lines make a huge differends. Forgive me if its not correct Englisch, it’s not my native language, I am Dutch and live in the Netherlands.
Kathy Racoosin says
Oh Henriette thank you so much for your wonderful comments!
Henriëtte says
Dear Kathy, I have also tried the black lines now and yes it makes a big difference on each image. Thanks again for the great idea!

KT Fit Kitty says
Wowzers, Kathy! That floral pineapple is spectacular! I LOVE your colouring! I coloured yesterday – Yay! Not today sadly, but tomorrow is another day.
Gail Plaskiewicz says
I have to say that I have never seen a pineapple like this before in real life and I probably never will. In a stamp, well, now I have! This stamp is amazing! I love it! You really did it justice. Its spectacular! You’re coloring is amazing and I love how you added berries. Since it’s not a real pineapple why couldn’t you add berries? I was wondering if you could add fake flowers to a real pineapple and make it like this stamp? It probably wouldn’t last long but it would be cool for as long as it lasts. I’m always thinking of things like that.
If I win anything from Simon Says again, I’m getting this stamp or if I win from Concord and 9th I also want this. Thank you for showing us. You are amazing!
Anne Sturgeon says
I loved this yesterday when you only had the greens done. Today, oh my, so beautiful….. all those wonderful colors. It just sings beautiful! I have been coloring some printed backgrounds while on vacation this week. After your post about adding some black I went back and added some black to my work. It is really amazing how much depth it added to a somewhat flat piece. Thanks for your knowledge and your generous heart in helping us all be better.
Kathy Racoosin says
Yesss Anne! Thank you for trusting me and I’m so happy that you love the results of adding the black outline!
Julie says
Love the vivid colors and all the details.
