I always like to read posts about Amazon’s sales ranks. Probably because it seems a pretty much unknown beast to the average author. Some authors have tried to break it down and get on top of it, hoping to propel their books to better ranking with Amazon which of course translates to more sales. While there seems to be some tried and true methods that help in that area, it can sometimes be short-lived because Amazon seems to change the game on a regular basis. What once worked, doesn’t work any more down the road. So here is an experiment over at Dan Koboldt’s blog with his experience with Amazon ranking. An Experiment in Amazon Sales Rank – Dan Koboldt
Colorist Jaikai Watson colored some of my grayscale photographs. Here’s a treat so you can see how fantastic a coloring job she did using colored pencils. Yes, these are with colored pencils! In each of my scenic grayscale coloring books featuring nature, I always include a full color photograph to guide you as you color.Get it on Amazon

Hop on over to Nicole Stocker’s blog for a comprehensive collection of how to color grayscale tutorials. Nicole is the author of bestselling grayscale coloring book “Beautiful Creatures.” A variety of talented of artists/colorists showing you their own unique methods to color grayscale. And there are plenty of ways to create colored images that pop when using grayscale images! Two of my grayscale tutorials are included in the list. Check it out!!
Coloring Grayscale Images, especially landscape scenery is quite fun. Don’t be intimidated! I love creating coloring books with my grayscale photographs. Below is an image I colored using Derwent Inktense colored pencils and Prismacolor colored pencils. When you begin coloring, start with lighter colors such as the yellow in the trees, then orange, then some browns and greens. For the water I used my white pencil and light gray pencil, then shaded over it using a light blue pencil, which blended the two colors nicely.
As with all my scenic landscape coloring books, I include the full color images for you to follow. In grayscale, use the shading to your advantage. You’ll be amazed what you can do with the shading already in the picture. The image on the left is the color image included with the book. The image on the left is the grayscale image I colored with my pencils. Enjoy! Check out my youtube channel for a simple and quick tutorial on coloring grayscale. All my books are available on Amazon. Feel free to post your colored pages from any of my coloring books in the comments at this blog. Grace Brannigan on Amazon

We live here in the beautiful Catskill mountains of New York. They’re having a clean up day at Colgate Lake on May 7, 2016 beginning at 9:30. What a nice surprise to see they announced the day with one of my photographs. This photograph is also featured in my grayscale coloring book for adults, “Scenic Catskill Mountains: 25 Photographs to Color.” Check it out.

Here’s an interesting article I found today over at SelfPublishingAdvice.org.
As an author, writer, artist, creative, it’s nice to be interviewed about the creation and thought process. Last month I did a radio interview with the very gracious Tamara Patzer at Business Innovators Magazine about my books — my Art Mandala series, Coloring Books, Journals and Sketchbooks. That radio link is here: Business Innovators Magazine Radio Interview Grace Brannigan
The interview is now being picked up for use in a third party podcast about coloring books. Way cool. Tamara is also working on a book project about coloring book authors. Royalties will be donated to autism awareness groups and charities. Sounds like a great idea, some added legs for the authors involved and a win-win for all.
