If you’ve spent any time on coloring groups lately you’ve most likely heard about “grayscale coloring.” It’s a fun new coloring option where you take a photo or painting, make it grayscale and then color it.
I have been wanting to give this a try so I asked my husband (who happens to be a photographer and digital artist) to convert some of his photos for me. He went a step further and applied some artistic styling to them that I love. After seeing the end result I was so excited to share them with you by adding them to my coloring pages collections!
So, with that in mind, I’m happy to announce the launch of these new Grayscale Coloring Pages and have released one page for free members and an additional four pages for premium members. Please take a minute to take a look, download and give them a try. It’s a different style of coloring that I think you’ll love!

Here’s a closeup of one of the images of our cat “Meeshka” so you can see the detailed artistic style:
And here’s a sample of what they look like when colored with colored pencils:
Please take a minute and let me know in the comments if you like this style and if you’d like me to release more. Also, please click the social sharing links below to let others know you like them. 😉
And as always, happy coloring!

Heres a video showing grayscale coloring using colored pencils:
Lovely pictures It is something different colouring these grayscale type of drawings. Love to see more.
Very nice
Thanks Ron. They are a lot of fun to color. 🙂
This looks very interesting! Can’t wait to try it!
Go for it! I love how the shadows and highlights in the image give your coloring such depth–makes you feel like a pro!
I’m excited to try this. Loved your little video. I didn’t realize there was a technique. I thought you just picked up pencils & colored away!!!
Thanks Cathy. The video is actually from another artist, but I thought it was a good example of how to approach coloring grayscale images. But this is just one technique–I think it’s just fine to pick up some pencils and color away! 😉
I am just now getting into grey scale coloring. Your husband does beautiful pictures. I would enjoy both his photos and your wonderful drawings which I am really enjoying.
Thank you. I’ll pass along your nice comment. Have fun coloring!
Thank you for including a sample of an “after” picture. Please thank your hubby too!
You’re welcome Lois–I’m glad you like them. My husband says “you’re welcome” too. 😉
I love the grey scale I added some coloring to the canoe
Picture it came out great , I didn’t fully color I can’t believe how it came out. I to am a photographer and I never thought of doing this with the pictures. Great idea
That’s great Kelly! They really are so much fun–thanks for sharing.
