Gesso stops paper bleed through, but with a catch. In episode 11 of Wind/Wine down Wednesday, I explore using clear gesso in adult coloring books. I show how to stop bleed through, but there are a few things you should be aware of in order to be happy with the outcome. There is always a catch isn’t there? We talk about fixative as well.
In the video I discuss and show how gesso, golden satin liquid and watercolor ground work to stop markers and other media from bleeding through to the backside of your paper. I also show the textural changes it makes to the tooth of the paper. This can be a good thing, but it can also change the way your markers lay down on the page, how long it takes them to dry and it often changes the color. Most commonly making them lighter. If you understand these things it can be a great tool to use when you want to color with your markers or wet media.
I show four methods to apply them and how this changes the warping of the page as well as how effective they are.
I personally feel that these changes are most noticeable when using alcohol markers. Media like inktense are not as noticeably effected.
I also discuss fixative and where and how to use it. My favorite tip is to use it when working with very poor paper that does not have a lot of tooth. By applying a workable fixative prior to adding colored pencil, I am able to add more layers than I normally would be able to add.

On a personal note, we headed over to last Thursday to Pueblo Reservoir for some much needed R and R. The weather was gorgeous and much fun was had by all.
Ellie was all set in her shark life vest for her first boat outing. She did very well. She only fell in twice. Once on the maiden voyage when she tried to jump to shore to soon and once defending us from a very scary floating log. LOL She did well in the water, though we scooped her out quickly as it is still too cold for swimming.
Here she is at home completely tuckered out. So much that we put her bunny in her paws and she didn’t even move.
And here are my favorite two boys. (Don’t tell my kids I said that) They are getting so big. Jackson is so good to his brother Macallan. I can’t wait to see them again!
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the warmer weather.
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.
Should you use Neo Colors in Adult Coloring Books?
I discuss Neo Color 1 vs Neo Color 2, pricing and characteristics and how to apply them. I do tests on opacity, blending, how they work with colored pencils, and how they work if the paper is sealed. I also look at how it affects the paper both with and without a primer. I show how to use these with other media to protect the paper without using a primer/sealant. I show a completed project as well at the end.
Here is the image I colored with Neo Color 2 only. (well a bit of paint pen for the highlights) I really enjoy neo color 2’s. In the video I show how I have had my neo color 2s for years (like over 10) and have used less than 1/2 inch of the crayon. So while they are pricy. They will last you a very long time.
Episode 3 What marker can I use in my coloring books?
This week we discuss the differences between alcohol markers and water based markers. Why and when you would use one or the other. I discuss the various tip options as well as show samples of bleed through and how they react with water. Each marker type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Knowing them will help you decide which is the best choice for your project.
