Fun with Colors! is the ultimate art guide for kids who love painting and drawing!

Kids have boundless creativity! This delightful book shows kids ages 9-12 how to harness their creativity to create amazing works of art. It introduces them to the wonderful world of watercolors, colored pencils, markers, and pastels, teaching them all the basic techniques needed to create beautiful works of art on their own!

The detailed lessons in this book feature over 300 colour photos and are crafted by a team of art teachers to teach kids how to:

  • Assemble the materials and practice the basic techniques of drawing and painting with colour
  • Combine lines, textures, highlights and shadows to boost the realism of their artwork
  • Add blurring, blending and layering to create more sophisticated images as their skills improve
  • And much more!

As they progress through the lessons, kids learn how to paint ten objects and scenes, such as:

  • A juicy red apple with a shiny, speckled skin and a realistic shadow
  • A mountain landscape with trees in the foreground and hazy peaks behind
  • Exploding oil pastel fireworks seen against a smoky night sky
  • A cuddly rabbit with coloured-pencil fur and soulful eyes
  • Plus 6 more!

About the Author

Azabu Atelier was established in 2018 by Koichi Matsuda with the goal of providing children who love draw with basic art skills. Kids learn about art tools, materials and techniques while developing their drawing ability and sense of color, expressiveness and design. Teachers in the cooperative are all active illustrators and painters in their own right, dedicated to teaching children the basics of their respective art fields while fostering a sense of individuality and creativity in young people.
