Grey Scale Online Coloring



Over the past few years, I have been intrigued with online coloring with a grayscale photo template. I haven’t been in the mood for Shadow Boxes, Icons, or the kind of emotional energy it takes to create a live piece. This example is done on an iPad. 





Andrea Kowch



Andrea Kowch’s paintings are real & magical narratives that provoke dreamlike musings. Past & present intersect, merging references in equal measure to Renaissance & Baroque painting, Depression-era photography, antique fabrics & lace, vintage clothing & the rural farmlands & interiors of the artist’s native Michigan. Silent figures move through finely detailed settings seemingly in slow motion, their actions both familiar & unexplained. A winner of numerous regional & national honors for her art, before turning 20 years old, Kowch has had work exhibited in such places as Washington D.C.’s Capitol Hill & Corcoran Gallery of Art, New York City’s Diane von Furstenberg Gallery & Miami’s Margulies Collection. She is also a 2005 award winner & alumnus of the National Young Arts Foundation.
