Morning number one: Not to shabby

I have to say, morning #1 is starting my year off quite nicely. Started the morning fire on the first try LOL.

So today, when the house is up and moving, it's time to clear out my room and start fresh and clean! I hope everyone had a good morning and the hangovers (of any kind) are few and tolerable.

On this first day of 2017 I'm coloring this page. Starting with my neocolor 2's and a water brush. I'll probably do some finishing touches with prismacolor pencils :)

I'm finding the coloring a lot easier after swatching my colors. I'm using colors I may have passed over before which is GREAT. I'm a late learner when it comes to swatching my supplies. If you're on the fence about it too, I say go for it and you'll be happy you did.

That's it from and me and the dust bunnies, hoping your start was just as smooth as ours was.

    1. Really makes a difference when you see all the colors next to each other so you pick the one that will work best I think. Very handy to have, should have listened to everyone soon haha.

  7. Great page Kerri. I recently swatched all mine and find it so much easier to decide on colors and use ones I might not have thought of. Happy New Year Kerri...I think 2017 is going to be much better for many of us!
