The Black Ink Colouring Book

YOUR NOVEL ART BOOKThis book is a companion to the novel The Black Inked Pearl, a version of the age-old ever-repeating myth of a girl rejecting her lover only to find he is the only one she wants. It is also a colouring book with images for You to colour in using Your imagination. See the two examples.
The background colour image is by the silk-artist Rachel Backshall. She has also illustrated other Ruth Finnegan books including: Oh Kate Your first counting book, The Magic Adventure, Kris and Kate build a boat, and Pearl of the seas. Inside the book are other images from her original silk paintings, converted to black and white.
COLOUR SECRETS: Did you know?As children, many of us were given a paint box of, maybe, five colours. As we got older the box had more colours. But we may not have been curious enough to ask questions like: What are these colours? How are they made? How did they start and what (if anything) do they mean?
Some might say that colours are only a trick of the light or of the way our eyes see, not really of any independent existence. But to us as people, as artists, they are real enough, something with which we engage every day. So, though there is of course much to know about the physical constituents of colour lets leave that aside to look at what is important for us as human beings living our lives in this world: the active uses and meanings of colours and how we engage with them. Read all about colour in this book.
