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.
I used Prismacolor colored pencils and distress oxides in this Millie Marotta Island Escape color along. This color along is a combination of me chatting, some techniques being shared and some silent well, (music only) parts.
I used distressed ink for the background. I used Antique Linen, Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo on the top with a small finger dauber and Weathered wood and Lost Shadow on the bottom.
Prismacolors used:
Cream, Sand, Peach Beige, GoldenRod, Mineral Orange, Light Umber, Dark Brown, All the french greys, black, Indigo Blue, Slate Grey, Jade Green, Grey Green Light, and 70% cool grey.
I use only 12 Inktense and three NeoColor 2 and a whole lot of shimmer and bling on this royal beetle. I walk you through my process and thoughts the whole way! I had so much fun and so will you!
Products used in the color along I am an amazon affiliate, if you use my link it will not cost you anymore than the original price but my channel will make a small commission. I appreciate the support.
Oil pastels in a coloring book? Yes it can be done. In this video I show you a timelapse of the oil pastel background and then I color these sassy birds using Polychromos colored pencils. I also answer 50 questions about myself with the #TMI Tag.

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.
Today’s image is from Rita Berman’s Gelato image in Meine Reise durch Europa. I had a request to do voice narration over my coloring. So this video is sped up a little and is narrated throughout the entire process. Miss Ellie (dogger) and my new grandson Macallan make cameo appearances.
I use Polychromos colored pencils throughout.

While it looks like I used a lot of pencils, I did, but look at how many are just versions of the same hue (color). This can bring depth to a picture.

I used Prismacolor Premier colored pencils to color this birds nest. My husband said the birds should have had red breasts. Does he not see that would not go with my color scheme! LOL
Ellie thought I should have stopped the brown (from the background) to contain it to the circle and I agree with her entirely. If you watch the you tube video I post that knowing what I know now I would have done just that. She is so smart.

I used Arrtx colored pencils and Mungyo pastels in Johanna Basford’s World of Flowers. I am not completely satisfied with this one. I think I may have preferred it to have dark blue in the corners radiating out to light blue to form a circle around the main image. Let me know your thoughts, I’d be curious to hear what you think.
I used Arrtx colored pencils. This was the first time I had used these pencils in a coloring book. I am not sure what I think about them. I tested and swatched them on Springhill Bristol paper and I definitely prefer them on the Springhill Bristol paper. They did not blend as well in the Johanna Basford book. I will use them again and let you know my thoughts. If you had used these, let me know what you think of them.
