I am 79 I tried adult coloring 2 years ago and my rheumatoid disease was so bad in my wrists and hands that I just could not do it. I am on different medication now and have changed my diet so I have less inflammation. I came across my books and pencils and tried again. I can do it now. I still watch how long I can do it without it bothering my hands and I can do about an hour and that is how long I can sit. I have been watching videos and learning. I have found something that makes me happy

I'm so glad I ran into this video ....I am Heba from Egypt , I first knew Mandala from a really talented nice person here in Egypt how is the founder of Cairo coloring club ; I took a couple of courses with her and since then I believe I've found my passion ; I just love the peace and joy it gives me . I'm a little bit more fond of designing but also this coloring video made me want to color more. Definitely I'll be one of your followers and wish to join your community ..... Thanks a lot Kathryn.

I can't believe how much I didn't know about coloring with colored pencils. You have opened my eyes, and I feel like a sponge, I just can't soak up enough. I ordered the 132 set of Presmacolor pencils and my new book to help with my stress and help get my thoughts away from acute pain. I had just taken painting lessons and painted two pictures when I got hurt and have been bedridden for the past six years. My husband is a very understanding man, but painting in bed would be a little much. Last week my facebook group started sharing coloring and how much it helps with stress. I was hooked, I did some when my grandkids were small. I bought a book for myself, and I would color with them. I can't wait for my order to arrive, I will be doing so many things differently. Thank you for your input, I will be checking in to see what's new, and reviewing what I learned. I love your attitude, I can tell you love what you do. First thing tomorrow I am going to download a few pages so I can start while I'm waiting for my order. Thank you again, you have made a very sad person happy and given me something to look forward to. Donna S.

Thank you lovely ( nameless) lady… watching you from ITALY where I have just discovered Mandalas with books given me by a friend. I am an old lady (86) and no longer able to walk and enjoy movements so colouring Manadalas will be a great project. I just love the way you present things and have taken notes… will be back for more! Don't know if I can get Prisma colour here in Itay …. please go on with your simply wonderful work. Good luck from Paola Mirella Wright in Italy.

i bought Prismacolor pencils for adult coloring books. I found your video when doing a search on how to use them. I am so excited - your video was succinct and gave lots of good information that a beginner like me can use. I also taught math and can't wait to get out my retired (like me) compass and do some drawing. Construction was my favorite part of geometry and this just takes it to a new level! Can't wait to view more of your videos. Thanks so much!

I am new to coloring and you gave me some really good ideas. Only wished I would have looked you up before I bought my pencils. I learned the hard way about student and professional pencils. You just taught me how to blend and use my blending sticks. I am very thankful. Now I am trying to learn how people use eye shadows for backgrounds. I can't wait to get to Michaels and pick my needed supplies. If you have any advice on the eye shadow skill I would love to see it used by a professional. Thanks for the great tips.

I cant stop looking at the pink and blue mandala in the background who else felt this way?

I so enjoyed this creative journey. Your explanations are easy to understand along with the visual blending techniques. This video is a wealth of information and an incentive to improve my coloring efforts. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

This was the most informative video on mandala art . I was looking for this for last few months ... Thankyou so much

WOW , new to colouring .. some great tips here .I am sure I am going to enjoy this new hobby . Your video make it all seem so doable . I feel welcome already ! Thank you !

So glad I found your site will practice what you have shown new to colouring I'm 65 will let you know how I get on and thank you for sharing your talent with everyone

I found this video so clear and easy to follow. You have a lovely speaking voice and the best close-up videoing I have found for these tutorials. I wanted to know more about blending techniques using fluids like colourless blender markers and Gamsol. So thank you for your very clear explanations for how to use these. I have now subscribed to your channel and shared this video to two FB groups.

This video is one of the best I have seen. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your great techniques. They have taken my coloring to the next level in beauty and have added tons more fun!

Great tutorial !! Wish I had this when I first started doing mandalas three years ago.Looking forward to the next one. Thanks

Great work Kathryn, full of great ideas and tips.

Finally a coloring channel I can identify with.

Learned lots of new techniques for blending. Very impressive! Thank you.

I started using coloring books and I wasn’t sure how to achieve all the nice colors. I went through several Utube videos and didn’t come away knowing much. However I came across your video and was very impressed how you took the time to explain and show how to do things without rushing through it. After viewing this video I realized that it is easy because of the way you taught it. I have a better knowledge of how to color mandalas and from now on will use 100 Mandalas as a point of reference. That was a great video and thanks for teaching it.

Great video. Her examples and processes have re-ignited my coloring interest. Thank you.

This the best video I've come across. I really wish I'd found it a long time ago. I will be viewing more of your video.

Hi Kathy, working my way through the class :) I think I will have pencils as my medium for a bit. I bought an Arteza tin, and now after watching this vid I have bought a prismacolor sharpener and some Gamsol :) Oh and some blending stumps! Got to go, going to go play mandala.....

Hi Kathryn, great video, so well produced. Love the fractal imagery in the beginning morphing to your logo. And the gamsol looks most intriguing. Learned a lot. Thanks.

OMG! Thank you so much for this video. I have some coloring books, & a novice at coloring. However, your video lets me know I can color & not be embarrassed. I greatly appreciate your voice & teaching skills.

Your videos are fantastic! You have a very easy going and inviting way, and you share your knowledge so JOYFULLY. Thanks so much. I am thrilled to be part of this!

Hello , I hope when you read my comments ,you will be ok and I hope your weekend will going well . I like your teaching style ,you speak clearly and listener can understand easily.I love and like prismacolour pencils .Today I first time listen your valued lesson,some blending techniques were new for me and I like gamsole blending.I am thankful to you.

This was a great video to watch. I learned so much about blending, shading, and coloring in general. I have many different colored pencils, gel pens, markers, and highlighters. I need to get some Gamsol. Thank you for the video. Will be looking for more.

Your so lucky to have that materials...Your Video is so adorable😍😍😍😍

loving these videos. I just bought some open stock prismacolors colors and l9vr them. my other favorites are koh-i-noor. I also have derwent but prefer the prismacolor and the koh-i-noor. I love the prismacolor colorless blending pencil, but now need to try the gamsol. I had never heard of it before this video. Thanks for all these ideas and knowledge. I can't wait for the torus video!

Ima beginner, however you make everything seem so easy to do. You're an excellent teacher.

Amazing, so fortunate I found your video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank You!

this is the first video i watch for you .. i liked your way of explaining.. you are talking slowly and clearly which why i can understand it easly as English is not my first language .. you've got a new subscriber taa from Egypt .. thank you so much for this amazing videos :)

I do like your Program and to Mandalas and is great my friends liked to color and for adults and this how it can be you thanks

Wow!! This is an AWESOME video!! Super informative.....thank you! 💖💕

thank you for showing differant pencils

Fantastic video thank you so much I've never heard of gambisol I'll have to try it out but I'll need those paper smudges too

Excellent tutorial. I can't wait to get started. Thanks!

Thank you for such an informative video. I have tried to watch other similar videos, but I just haven't learned much. You are so knowledgeable and easy going, that I found it very easy to understand what you were explaining and found that I learned so much. I subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to watch more videos! You're so inspirational and insightful! Thank you.

Awesome!!! Can't wait to download the two different 100 Mandalas. Thank you so much for what you have taught on this video. I didn't realize there was an odorous medium liquid for blending. I am a brand new baby to Adult Colouring but I am already addicted to it. I have been watching a lot of tutorials and videos on the many mediums I can to use to colour with, as well as learning about the different paper to colour on. Our daughter -in love and our son bought me the Lost Ocean....An Inky Adventure & Colouring Book by Johanna Basford as a Christmas Gift, they had no idea I have been wanting to try Adult Colouring but because it is so popular on KZfaq and Facebook, our Daughter thought I would like it. Thank you for this video!!! Blessings!!!

Your video is great. So helpful, plus very pleasant to listen to. Thank you.

Excellent. I picked up a couple of tips and I have mineral spirits in my cleaning cabinet! I'm off to try it.

I have ordered the prisma color pencils the set of 132 colors and I am so happy but I am little bet sad because i forget to order the colorless blender so I am going to use the white color as you told in the video 😊👍🏻😇

You are a marvelous teacher! I’ve enjoyed the first three and look forward to more!

This is great!!! I love the ideas! Thanks

Hey... thank you very much for your tips, it really helped me!

Wow! Great information. This is going to be very helpful. Thanks. Can't wait for more of your videos...

Thank you so much for sharing all these great tips! Amazing tutorial and so easy to follow :-) I wanted to add that you could also use Isopropyl Alcohol, 90% or higher. It is so smooth, and the alcohol content is so high that it evaporates almost instantly after your done blending. It won't damage, pill, or buckle your paper, and it has sort of a rich watercolor look to it. And it blends colors beautifully. Great for beginners too :-)

A very nice tutorial, thank you.

Fantastic video, Thanks for sharing!!

I love your Mandela very much,they r very beautifull, wonderful, u do amazing job

Thank you for the info on coloring. I enjoyed it and learned so much from your video, especially the blending techniques. It's hard to find materials that you use in your videos. I live in New Zealand & most of the products used in most american videos (arts & craft) are either not sold here or they are very very expensive to buy (if they have them) in our stores. Using Ebay or Amazon, is probably a great way to buy things from, but I get put off buying there because of the shipping cost. For instance, a 72 pack of prismocolor pencils cost $150 where I live..that is something I cannot afford..though they look so great when using them, especially with blending & all. Maybe one day I will pay that much if I want my work to look as wonderful as yours.

I've recently gotten a full set of Prismacolor scholar pencils, and I find that using them almost feels more like painting in slow, controllable motion. I also picked up a couple of colorless blending pencils, a liquid blending pen specifically for pencils, and some eraser pens. I'm finding each has its strong points, and I'm really enjoying using them all. I'll have to look at gamsol- is it the same as odorless paint thinner? Ahhh, so much to learn, and what fun learning! Thank you for your video, it's helped me think about what I'm doing and why!

Excellent!

Great video. Excellent review of different blending techniques.

EXCELLENT!! you teach well and I am grateful to have found you and your work. My student hat is now on! :-)

Great video👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you very much your explanations is very clear and helpful

Hi, i really enjoyed your videos on how to. I am a beginner senior. With a mandalas color by number. I got it for a gift. I am having a problem with trying to get the correct pencils to match or what to blend to get the correct colors they ask for. I bought a color chart, and i have markers that i have used on other designs. I will invest in other pencils & i will try the Gamsol also. Thanks for your help.

Great video. I learned a lot. Thank you!

Great video!!

I don't even like coloring that much, I just watched the whole video because it was so relaxing and your voice is soothing :')

when i started this video i thought to myself well this is gonna be dumb. but WOW so informative and helpful! thanks so much for making this video for people like me

Thanks a lot Kathryn :) take care

Katheryn, thanks to you I didn't waste money before buying my first set of colored pencils. Took your advise and bought Prisma Colored wax pencils and so glad I did. I'm new at designing/creating but it's giving me spiritual and mental healing. Do you have any thoughts on a clear spray I could purchase to spray my finished designs to make the color pop even more and protect?

I am just getting into coloring

This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing these videos, they are really helping me with my mandalas :D

Outstanding presentation. I began with coloring three months ago by publishing three books of my hand drawn images that can be found on Amazon if you search using my pen name, Gurdus. I will visit your site and upload one of my drawn and colored works. I get my pencils from Blicks.

Great tutorial...thank you x

i want one off those books

nice video but what you think about maped and faber castell

Excellent!!! Thank you

Great information!!!! Thanks..

i loved it so much...so amazing...

Just found your channel - what colored pencils do you like best at this time? If you sell them, please give me a link. Such a thorough tutorial. Thank you. I’m interested in your course!

So helpful, thanks. I love coloring but get intimidated by choosing colors. Will you do any tutorials on that?

very interesting informative video

Thank you for the video --- very informative!

Wonderful video! Looking forward to trying these techniques. I ordered my supplies on amazon.com

This is just a lovely video and answered so many questions I had, especially about blending techniques. Thank you!

This was such a great tutorial, covering so many of the topics I need as a true beginner in pencil coloring. Thank you.

Como una sugerencia, podrían subtitular en español los vídeos .... Muchas gracias ¡

Wow this is a brilliant tutorial! Thank you so much! I feel so inspired 😃

Vere nice ❤️

Superb video..loved the way you have explained so well..Just two small questions.. (1) Can I use Gamsol on Faber castell aquarell pencils? They are water colour pencils. (2) I couldn't find Gamsol in India. Can I use distilled turpentine instead? It's sold at my local art-craft shop.

Thank you for this informative video! Think a new set of professional pencils is the order of the day.!

Lots of good information... Thank You...

Will the Gamsol cause inkjet ink to run even on card stock? Very good video!

wowww! wat an awesome vdeo., from the start to the end... now i cant wait to buy prisma colors.(dat wil b a dream cum true to me)., i loved the blending technique wth gamsol...ur way of sharing thots abt the small details like sharpen, store n purchasing is juz worth appreciating.... coz peop like me wil go for 12 set of prisma.. art n passion is smthng dat u CAN NEVER get satisfed wth the materials u hav... like u told i wil end up havng the same set in double....keep goin.... U WIL REACH THE PEAK ONE DAY.....

thank you for the video :)

Hi :) I am still a new beginner of coloring mandalas... And I was wondering if it's okay to use the Faber-Castell colors rather than the prisma ones??

This helped me so much thanks +100Mandalas

Awesome, this was so helpful. I love your work!!

What store can I use to buy all kinds of art supplies?

1st time heard about you. I have never interested about mandalas, but few weeks ago I started crabing about what is mandalas about. You appeared in my search. 1st video. Love coloring. Question is gamasol toxic? I have heard about baby oil. Can you share more about pro and cons? New subscriber.

I really enjoyed your program that I am wondering how to use the acrylic colouring thank and please the name of the pen colours.

What do you think of the "Artist choice" crayons?

I know this might be a weird question, but do you happen to know the official meaning of each color for the mandalas? Such as red stands for --- on the mandala. I've been looking everywhere and their have been no answers yet. I would appreciate any help that you could give me.

Are you on Prismacolor’s payroll? Lol. I’m totally kidding!!! 😆 Prismacolor is my fav tho.
