Welcome, dear reader, to this ageless colouring book which was designed to take you on a small adventure to escape from your everyday dull, grey and overwhelming life. In this book named ‘colour your life’, you will find small instructions to guide you through this experience. We recommend taking a small pencil case with different coloured utensils of primarily RED, ORANGE, BLUE and GREEN but any other colour is more than welcome. Next, you will need your best walking shoes and of course, this trusty colouring book. For a moment, you are the decider of what your surroundings look like! Walk out your door and try completing the challenges given to you. No pressure, just fun. Enjoy, Berke and Lisa
Let’s start! As you walk outside analyse what colours you see and how they make you feel. Are they man made and artificial? Are they natural and calming? You can draw a quick sketch of this or even just write it down.
Starting with red. Red is the colour of passion but also anger. Does that resonate with you? Try and follow as many red objects you see around you and see where that takes you. When you want a break, find a space to colour in or draw what you saw! Take all the time you need.
Draw your own sign
Green is next! Please find a nice green spot with some nature so you can feel closer to the earth! Is there trash on the floor… do a good deed and pick it up if you can. Green has an incredible healing power so let out your frustration and colour in this page!
During these covid times, our littering has increased tremedously. Spruce up this trash container with funky colours!!
This is a blank spread for any thoughts you are
having during this walk. This is your space.
This page is dedicated to any hardship that you might have gone through. Select a moment and confront it If you are comfortable doing so. You are free to draw as hard as you can, rip the page or use the circles which signify the different stages you went through while experiencing this. This is really up to you.
Keep on walking till the frustation is gone
You’ve reached the blue page! Take your favourite blue ink pen, marker, pencil or else and enjoy filling in this page! Don’t forget! Look around you, what patterns do you see? What emotions do you feel?
Welcome to orange! This colour has a deep significance with things changing. If you’re going through a big change in your life, take this page as a check up on how you’re doing and express yourself. If not, have fun with it and go crazy! Orange is cheerful, so make the most of it.
Walk to the nearest orange thing you see!!
