Drawing to color: Divers (1942-1943) by Fernand Léger. Painted between 1942 and 1943 by Fernand Léger, Plongeurs, bleu et noir (Divers, blue and black) depicts intertwined figures diving into large flat areas of color, evoking the energy and density of a crowded swimming pool. The fragmented, stylized bodies are part of a rhythmic composition dominated by deep blue and black, reinforcing the dynamics of movement. Conceived from an idea born in 1940, when Léger was in Marseille before leaving for the United States, the work is part of a series devoted to the theme of swimmers, developed during his American exile during the Second World War. It illustrates his interest in modernity, the body in action and the graphic power of color. It's up to you to add the colors you like to this beautiful artistic coloring, with or without respecting the artist's original colors.

Drawing to color: The Lady with the Unicorn, Raphael (1505-1506). Coloring created from La Dame à la licorne (1505-1506), by Raphaël (1483 - 1520). This work is a youthful portrait by Raphael, emblematic of the Italian Renaissance. The unicorn, symbol of purity and virtue, replaces an initial iconography revealed by restorations (dog, then modified attributes). The work is distinguished by its soft modeling, balanced composition and the obvious influence of Leonardo da Vinci in the treatment of the face and hands.

Drawing to color: Boy with a fruit basket (1593) - Caravaggio. Coloring created from the painting Young Man with a Fruit Basket, by Caravaggio (b. 1571 - d. 1610). Painted around 1593-1594, this work depicts a gentle, slightly melancholy-looking young man holding a basket overflowing with ripe fruit, grapes, figs and grape leaves, rendered with remarkable precision. The composition contrasts the freshness of youth with the fragility of life, while the light reveals textures and imperfections with striking realism. This innovative approach is emblematic of the style of Caravaggio, a major figure in Italian Baroque painting.

Drawing to color: Las Meninas by Diego Vélasquez, 1656. Coloring version adapted from the masterpiece of Spanish Baroque painting, housed at the Prado Museum in Madrid: Las Meninas (The Maids of Honor) by Diego Velázquez, painted in 1656. The scene takes place in the painter's studio at the Royal Palace: in the center, Infanta Margaret Theresa surrounded by her maids of honor (meninas), court dwarfs, and a dog in the foreground. On the left, Velázquez himself stands before a large canvas. In the background, a mirror reflects King Philip IV and Queen Mariana—the true subjects of the painting. The composition plays with mise en abyme and the gaze, questioning the relationship between painter, model, and viewer.
