Coloring and doodling have long been popular activities for people of all ages. For many it’s a fun way to pass the time; others do it for the benefits associated with it. Humans need a creative outlet, and they are always searching for new ideas and ways to do things. One such idea is reverse Coloring, a new emerging trend; reverse Coloring is drawing or doodling on an abstract colored page, mainly watercolor.
Doodling is a type of drawing that is characterized by simple, often repeating patterns. Doodles can be created with any type of drawing tool, including pencils, pens, and markers. Many people enjoy doodling as a way to relax or to exercise their creative muscles, it can also be used as a form of meditation or self-expression. As with any type of art, there are no rules when it comes to creating doodles, anything from a simple spiral to an intricate design can be considered a doodle.
The idea of doodling on an abstract water-colored shape is not foreign to serious artists, but for the general public, it is a rather new concept. Many artists keep watercolor doodle journals or diaries, where they first create abstract art with watercolors, and once the page has dried completely, they doodle on these shapes to create art that is a combination of painting and drawing.
Reverse Coloring can also be thought of as doodling but with some constraints-the already colored shapes. But hey, constraints are useful for creativity. Mosaic is an example of such an art, and we all love it. If you find yourself getting bored with your usual drawings, try reverse Coloring! It’s a fun and easy way to add some spice to your art.
How to reverse color an image
Now that you understand what reverse Coloring is, let’s take a look at the process. Pick a page to reverse color, and look over the page, what shapes or familiar objects do you see? Just like you would look up at the clouds and find dogs or bunnies in them, look at your watercolor page and see what objects, animals, etc., you notice. If you happen to find a familiar shape or pattern, then take a black marker or, better yet, a doodling pen and start bringing that object into existence by drawing an outline. You can draw as complex as you want or something super simple, your imagination limits the end result.
The beauty of art is in the freedom it gives you to express your creativity. There are many types, styles, and techniques that can be used for this purpose, but one way or another, drawing on paper with colored pens will always provide an aesthetically pleasing end result, no matter how complicated things get!

● And finally, reverse Coloring can also be a great way to express ourselves creatively. Whether we’re drawing a full scene or just some random shapes, doodling allows us to tap into our inner artists and explore our creativity.

It can also be a great way to unwind after a long day. So next time you find yourself bored, consider reaching for a pen and a reverse coloring book and give it a try.
