PRINTABLE COLOURING PAGES TO COLOUR YOUR SUMMER

Awaken your artistic soul and add a touch of colour to your summer holidays with the four colouring pages we are offering below. Available for you to download and print free of charge, they were drawn exclusively for Caran d’Ache by our ambassador Ambre Verschaeve. With images from gardens in bloom, the beach and the mountains, make the most of your summer holidays by rekindling your creative spirit, alone or with your children.

Whether you're camping between sandcastles or soaking up the sun on your own terrace, take some time out for yourself with the act of colouring.

Fill-in our designs using whatever media you’d like — bold tints or pastels, coloured pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. Your only aim is to give free rein to your imagination.

You thought colouring was only for kids? Adults love it too, and with good reason. Its many benefits include creativity, well-being and concentration.

When you colour, you will…

1. Reduce stress. Colouring is a relaxing activity that can help calm the mind and reduce stress after a long day’s work. It can be a form of meditation, helping us to focus on the present moment and free ourselves from anxious thoughts.
2. Develop greater creativity. Unleash your artistic expression and imagination through colouring. The acts of choosing colours, mixing them and creating visual harmony are ideal for stimulating your unique inventiveness and awakening your artistic soul.
3. Relax. Like journaling, colouring allows you to take time for yourself, unwind and disconnect from your everyday activities. Recharge your batteries during a colouring session while comfortably installed in an armchair, lying on the sand or sitting under the shade of a tree.
4. Improve concentration. Colouring is a perfect activity for children and adults who have difficulty concentrating and are easily distracted. It will help almost anyone refocus their attention on the creative task at hand.

The final advantages of colouring are that it's affordable, accessible to everyone and can be done anywhere—at home, on the beach, in a park, by the river… There's no excuse not to start colouring! You'll be glad to have dusted off your pencil case.

Our summer holiday–themed colouring pages will appeal to young and old alike. Download and print as many as you’d like, for free.

When we think of colouring, we automatically picture a case of pencils in a rainbow of shades. Coloured pencils are perhaps the most basic media for colouring, in part because they are versatile and can be used with a wide range of techniques.

For pigment-rich colouring, the Supracolor® Aquarelle pencils are a must-have and an absolute favourite among budding artists. With their watercolour lead, you can create sumptuous textures and shades of varying intensity. You are sure to enjoy playing with their original, supple hues.

Next among Caran d’Ache’s flagship colouring tools are the Swisscolor water-soluble pencils, which come in up to 40 different shades. These all-purpose pencils have a brightness that will appeal to children and adults alike. Dip a brush or even your finger into water and have fun transforming their pigments into paint.
 

If you fancy something different from coloured pencils, fibre-tip (or felt-tip) pens are a great option for colouring in our illustrations. With their vibrant, luminous inks, the Fibralo® collection of fibre-tips offers a special drawing experience and effects that match those of watercolour painting. Apply the felt-tip directly to the paper or dip it in water to create more transparency.

Get out your best paints and fill in our illustrations in vivid colour. This summer, you might add to your supplies with our Gouache Studio collection in tubes or tablets. Mix the paints on your palette to create your own original shades. Our gouaches are certified Swiss Made and are manufactured traditionally.
