A Warm Welcome to the World of Art Coloring!

In 1500, Leonardo da Vinci 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 Leonardo 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:

Using the artist's method of 'underpainting', the beautiful textures of these compositions are presented in perfect grayscale, just waiting for your colors to bring them to life - let the grayscale guide and inspire your shading. Paler areas can take a pure color, or be left white for a bold effect.

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 Leonardo's did in 1500.

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