**Updated on April 8th to include Gerda Steiner, Impression Obsession, and Robin Mead Designs.


Hi everyone!!  If you love coloring and digital images as much as I do, then this post is for you!  

In the past week or so I have found some amazing artists who have been uploading amazing digital images and coloring pages and they are encouraging people to download, print, and color their days away.   Knowing how much creating and coloring is helping me during this insane time we are living thru, I thought that it would be nice to spread the news.  

Below are the artists that I have found, together with links to their pages.  You can download the images that you love by right-clicking on the image and saving them to your computer.  Then you can print them out in whatever size you want (card, coloring page, tag, etc.) and color them using whatever medium you love.  

A few things to remember - 

Let's be nice and "like" their pages, if applicable, and thank them for their work.  They are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts and I am grateful for this.  Let's try to show them as much love as they are showing us.  And please remember to give each artist credit if you are sharing or posting your work with their images.  Thanks!! 

Lindsay Ostrom - Creator of Cuteness - is one of my favorite artists and she has been posting a new image every day. She has a line of stamps with Impression Obsession, which you can see HERE, and an Etsy store where you can buy more of her digital images as well as lessons on lettering, which you can see HERE

And, she has a blog - Lindsay Ostrom - Creator of Cuteness - where she shares her creations, art journaling techniques, lettering techniques.  

And she has an Instagram page HERE

She's a busy woman!!! 

Here are some of the things I have made using her free images.





Nola Pierce Chandler - is another artist I love and has a few adorable digi images on her page - SnickerDoodle Studios.  And, she also has a line of stamps with Impression Obsession, which you can see HERE.  And, she also has an Instagram page - Nola Chandler.

Here are some of the things I have made using some of Nola's free images - 



I layered this on to black and then pink cardstock and then I adhered the
Small Easel by Tim Holtz to the back.

I printed this guy twice and cut the bunny out and popped
him up using foam tape.  


Impression Obsession is now offering all of the free "coronavirus" digi images from Lindsay and Nola on their website.  You can check them all out HERE.  And, while you are there, they also offer some other digi stamps HERE (non-coronavirus related).  While you are there, why not check out their rubber stamps, inks, and dies and maybe help out a small business during this insane time.


April McCallum - has been posting some free coloring pages on her Facebook page that are from her upcoming book that you can save and color.  She also has an Instagram page - April Loves Color (awesome name).  

My Favorite Things - is offering 4 images of doctors and nurses from their Birdie Brown series.  They are too cute for words!!  You can find links to the 4 images, HERE, on their blog.  They are only available thru the end of April, 2020.  


Whimsy Stamps has some adorable free digital images that you can download.  You can see them HERE.  Some are COVID-19 related and some aren't.  But they are all super cute! 

Joanne Fink of Zenspirations also has a few hand drawn Zenspirations that are screaming to be colored.  You can find them on her blog HERE. If you love her work, she also has a store on Etsy with more of her digital work that you can find HERE.

Artsyville is another site offering some free "coloring printables", which you can find HERE...like THIS amazing coffee-themed printable and THIS adorable under the sea coloring printable that is perfect for the kids too.  

The Art Sherpa - Not only does she have daily videos teaching you how to paint, but she also has a few free coloring pages on her Facebook page that are worth checking out!

Beyond The Fringe Crafts - Carmen, the owner of this site, recently announced that ALL of the digital images on her blog are now FREE.  I've enjoyed many of her images over the years.

The Latina Crafter - is offering this freebie with some sentiments in both English and Spanish that can be used on cards or home decor.

Jillian Vance Design - has THIS free digital stamp set perfect for any doctor, nurse, or another hero you want to thank. 

Gerda Steiner Designs - is offering a few free digital images that you can check out HERE.  There is even an Easter digi and a coffee digi!!  I don't know how long they will be FREE so grab them while you can. And, after you add them to your cart, you can check out the other digi stamps she sells - HERE.  Why not add one or two to your cart along with the free ones?  I did.  I got 3!! 

Robin Mead Designs - Robin has a page of free digital images that you can download HERE.  I am in love with her images and cannot wait to put my markers to them!  

Do you know of any artists or sites that should be added to this list?  Please let me know by leaving a comment below or sending me an email to michaeltrent@gmail.com and I will edit the post.

Let me know if you love to color as much as I do and if these sites were helpful to you!  Let's color and stay connected together!   Stay safe everyone...wash your hands....and, until next time - 


Hugs from Brasil -
