The Benefits of Colouring

There are numerous benefits to colouring or painting as an adult. Most of us adults might have given up colouring when we were younger, but here are some great reasons to pick up this hobby again.

Provides Quality Time with your Child

If your child loves colouring, why not sit them down at the table with their colouring book and you can print out one of these great free colouring printables for adults and you can both colour together. You might both be focused on what you’re doing, but you will be together.

And while you are both sitting down calmly and colouring, why not use this time to ask your child about their day, how things are going in school or if they are having any issues with friends. I find that this is a great opportunity to ask my kids how everything is going and they have an easy time opening up since we’re sitting together and both relaxed.

It’s a Hobby that Can Occupy Your Time

As we get older and we start a family, sometimes we tend to drop any hobbies or activities that we used to love doing. A lot of our time goes towards our children as they grow, working and keeping up with anything that needs to be done in the home. When we have down time to ourselves, we might not know what to do with our time.

Colouring is a hobby that can be taken up. It’s something that can be done at home. It might also bring out the child in you and remind you of memories of when you were younger and might have coloured more often. And with these beautiful colouring pages for adults, you will end up with gorgeous pictures that can even be framed!

It Can Help with Anxiety

Colouring is a calming activity. Have you ever have those days or moments when everything seems to overwhelm you? You don’t know what to do with yourself or how to quiet all the noise in your head? This is the time to pull out your colouring pages for adults and sit somewhere that you can focus.

You can colour the sketches using so many types of art products. Find what you’re comfortable colouring with, it can be crayons, pencil crayons, markers, oil pastels. Or if you prefer painting you can use water colours, or acrylic paint. Or go ahead and use a mixture.

Colouring can transport you to another place and while your focused on it, you might notice the noise quieting down in your head and that painting can help you and be therapeutic.

Different Ways To Enjoy the Colouring Pages for Adults

There are different ways of keeping your colouring pages nice so they don’t get lost, ripped, wrinkled or eaten by the dog if you have one! (This has happened to me)

Laminate the Colouring Pages for Adults

Once you print and colour the sketches, you can use self adhesive laminating sheets or a laminator to keep them looking nice. This will prevent them from wrinkling or ripping.

Accessorize Using a Frame

Why not find a nice bright frame that you can put your completed sketches in? Take a look at the colours you’ve used to colour your picture and you can find a frame that compliments it or accentuates it.

Save Them in a Folder

If you have a nice colourful folder with pockets, you can save your completed pictures in the pockets. This is a good way of keeping track of them, so you don’t accidentally lose any and they will all be kept together.

Keep Them All in a Binder

If you want to be able to quickly access all the nice colouring pages for adults, you can print out all of them and keep them in a binder. That way when you have the urge to colour, you will already have them all printed. You will just need to choose the sketch you would like to colour in the moment.

What’s Required to Complete the Colouring Pages for Adults

You will need a few different items to colour the sketches. Check out the list below to be sure you are ready to go!

Start With a Good Quality Printer

You will want to have a good quality printer available. This will ensure your pictures are looking great when printed. Even though the sketches are in black and white, having a colour printer won’t hurt since you’ll be able to use it for other projects. And always be sure to check if the ink in the printer is full.

Accessories Needed for Colouring Pages for Adults

Printing your sketches on stock paper helps, since if you decide to paint it, the paint will not go through. Great choices for colouring these gorgeous sketches for adults are oil pastels. These are very similar to wax crayons in how they look once used and make your sketch look really nice. You can also use pencil crayons, which would be a good choice for all the spots on the pictures that are harder to colour.

The last option I would suggest are water colour paints. These sketches were originally drawn to be used with water colour paints, however you can use anything that you are most comfortable with! If you do use water paints, make sure you have a choice of paint brushes that you can use that are for water painting.

These sketches are so nice and deserve to be put in a frame to display your art work. You can use a frame that is a colour that compliments the colours that you’ve used in your picture. Or if you prefer to not hang them, you can keep all your completed pieces in a nice binder or folder.
