How to Color Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a classic tile pattern that brings a vintage yet modern aesthetic to any artwork, making it a perfect choice for those who love cozy and decorative designs.

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through 3 simple steps to create a terrazzo-inspired coloring page using Ohuhu markers. The page we’re coloring today comes from the Girl Spaces, a Southern Lotus Coloring Book featuring hand-drawn cozy spaces for creative expression.

Materials You’ll Need:

- Ohuhu Markers (CGII00, GG1, MG100, WG01, YR5, BGII09)

- A coloring page featuring a wall background (from Girl Spaces Coloring Book)

Step-by-Step Guide to Coloring Terrazzo

Step 1: Apply the Base Layer (CGII00)

Start by filling the entire background with CGII00—a soft, neutral tone that mimics the base of real terrazzo tiles. Let it dry before adding details.

Step 2: Draw Random Terrazzo Shapes

Using GG1, MG100, WG01, YR5, and BGII09, create small, irregular shapes across the background. The key to a great terrazzo pattern is randomness—don’t worry about making perfect shapes! Just layer the colors naturally to mimic real terrazzo textures.

Final Step: Complete Your Terrazzo Pattern

Once you’ve added enough terrazzo details, take a step back and check if any areas need extra texture or color. Adjust as needed to achieve a balanced, organic look.
