National Coloring Day 2022
 |
By the time markers came around I was somewhat older and less inclined to do any coloring.
I viewed it all as a rite of passage and now I rarely color at all in favor of techniques like fatbit edit, color gamut borders, gradient mixes, and that electronic media the modern workaday world desires that you command with skill.
It's all about coloring using any media such as crayons, colored pencils, markers, or anything else — like pastels or even charcoal.
Coloring stimulates cognitive abilities, advances skills useful for finding a profession, and aids children with spiritual motivation.
Coloring books were the brainchild of the McLoughlin Brothers company with their classic The Little Folks Painting Book from the 1880s.
Painting was the first medium in use. Crayons became the standard around the 1930's.
Coloring is considered beneficial for children and adults. The activity is said to be helpful for those going through trauma and to diminish stress.
National Coloring Day began under the auspices of Jace Shoemaker-Galloway aka "Queen of the Holidays" from whom many of these days we celebrate first began.
