Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I’m Bronwen. I work early shifts at a bakery in Sheffield, which means I’m up before the birds and done by the middle of the afternoon. That is when I put the kettle on and color.
How this started
Two winters ago I bought a coloring book from a charity shop for a pound. The first page I tried looked muddy and flat, and the paper bled through. I was sure it was me. It turned out to be partly me and partly the pencils and the paper, and I’ve been sorting out which is which ever since.
What you’ll find here
- Coloring pages worth printing, and how to choose paper for them
- Colored pencil and marker basics, written for people who just want a nice page
- Cheap supplies that work, and the pricey ones I think you can skip
- Small ideas for color combinations, without any rules you have to memorize
What you won’t find
No big promises. I color because I like it, and the tea helps. I’m a hobbyist, not a teacher, so I’ll tell you what I tried and how it went.
If you want to say hello, my address is on the Tea Break Mail page.
