Why did you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical conditions you deal with? 
            Often Housebound with arthritic and sciatic problems.  Also panic disorder

What would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?
            Most important to start in a simple way.  Dont go spending a fortune on professional type pens such as copics, polychromos etc.  I have had good results using a pack of 99p pens!  Also go for the easier pattern books to start with..  I get good results using high street stationers medium priced pens and pencils.  Colouring is all about colouring the pictures YOU like and not trying to impress others on Online Colouring Groups.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?

            I always finish a pic that Ive started.  I like most of my colourings and hubby laminates them all for me.  My favourite ones he has framed and I have them on a plain white wall in study.  Despite gaving arthritic hands and aged 73 I have managed to complete about 200 colourings in last 6 months.
