A Warm Welcome to the World of Art Coloring!

In 1788, Hokusai labored in his studio to create some of the greatest compositions in human history, filling them with the best colors available to him.

Now, with your pens, pencils, pastels and paints, you have in your pocket shades Hokusai could only dream of, and your own eye for color. Grab your chance to collaborate with him: fill these compositions with your colors and your eye; make them live again, and create amazing artworks that span the centuries.

A Colorist's Guide:

Both outlines and grayscales are provided for you - the artist's 'underdrawing' and 'underpainting' stages. Try the grayscales first - they are just waiting for your colors to bring them to life. Outlines give you ultimate freedom to bring your own ideas to the work - with just the lightest of beginnings from the amazing composition.

If you think you have made a mistake, don't worry, keep going until you have filled the frame with color - every stroke is part of your journey with great art, and your hand has traced the same contours of genius that Katsushika Hokusai's did in 1788.

Few have such a connection to great composition, so pick some great colors and make some great art!
