Color with me in Hannah Karlzons Daydreams Squirrel Color Along. I use Inktense and Polychromos colored pencils. Techniques I cover: how to color a pearl, modified bokeh background, how to color a gold crown, how to color a glowing gemstone and a decent gold filagree frame.
Always nice to see you here!

Kimberly has been such a great supporter of the channel. She is always encouraging. She watches all the videos, likes the videos and comments, She also interacts on facebook and talks about the channel on social media. So I asked Kimberly to select a page to color and choose the pencils she would like me to use in a color along. She chose this page. I hope she is happy with how it turned out.
Thanks for visiting!

Can you use watercolor pencils in coloring books? What about on Amazon Paper?
The answer is YES! I use 3 dollar watercolor pencils in Creative Haven Country Gardens Coloring book.
In this episode of Wind/Wine down Wednesday, I explore watercolor pencils in adult coloring books. The various types of watercolor pencils, different methods to use them, how to blend them and of course how to use them in our adult coloring books- Yup, even the ones with Amazon paper. I do a project at the end with dollar store watercolor pencils in Country Gardens by Creative Haven. With no sealant and no bleed through.
There are only 24 pencils and they are not named or numbered so I have not listed them.
I also colored this cutie in Matchstick Mouse Floral coloring book. I use Albrecht Durer colored pencils in this one.
I am enjoying the ease of using these pencils. They help you lay down color quickly and then can use the pencils dry to add details.
thank you for stopping by

Lets take a look at the pages I have colored since my January Completed page video.
I have pages by Rita Berman, Kerby Rosanes, Kanoko Egusa, Creative Haven, Matchstick Mouse, Posh’s Disney book, and Mythographia.
I hope you join me as I look back on pages that I have done color alongs on as well as a few I haven’t.
Hope to see you there!
I will only post the images I haven’t posted to the blog.
I colored these from Thomas Kinkade’s Disney book. I like that they show you a colored image. I then try to duplicate it. I struggled with the dark values. But looking at these without the reference photos they look alright. Prisma, Arrtx and SouColor colored pencils.
This one is from Home Sweet Home by Creative Haven- It is a Teresa Goodridge book. I love her stuff. This one came out pretty bright. Cue the circus music… Colored with Arrtx colored pencils
The last one is from Kerby Rosane’s Alien World. I used NeoColor 2’s and Black Widow colored pencils. I applied Nuvo Clear gloss from their Aqua Shimmer line on the wings. I also used Sparkle Pop Silver gel pen around them. I had MANY mishaps on this page. I used too much water and not enough neo color 2. I tried to use a baby wipe to blend when there was not enough pigment down. I dripped the nuvo glimmer on the page and had to wipe it up. I filmed it all so I could do a color along but I feel it would be a what not to do video LOL So instead here is the finished page alone. I probably will use parts of the video to explain what not to do, then show how to do it.
Anyway I do explain in the video so be sure to check it out, I appreciate you all!

Posted in Artist/Coloring Book, Beautiful Planet, Leila Duly
You may remember this artist from The Flower Year. Her newest book Beautiful Planet is a lovely book with thick white pages. It is very large 9.25 x 12.25 but inside you can find two page spreads, one page intricate pages, as well as pages with vignettes and individual images to color such a page with butterflies. There are even a few pages with one big flower or animal to color. From the sea shore to the mountains this book has it all.
Click here to see a full flip through on YouTube.
As always I appreciate you stopping by.
