Using Pastels of all types in our coloring books

Are you looking for ways to add backgrounds or even just a base layer of color to make your coloring adventures move along quickly and painlessly. If so this may be the video for you.

In this video I use pan, oil and soft pastels in adult coloring books. If done properly you will not even need a sealant. It is always nice to have another tool in the tool box. Pastels are cheap and easy to use! Making them perfect for large backgrounds or for that first layer of color.

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.
