This is a short video on how I colour backgrounds as a lot of colourists seem to struggle for ideas on this. I show pictures I have coloured in various Johanna Basford books. I have included links below on where to buy Johanna's lovely books as well as to the colouring tutorial book I mentioned

Beautiful backgrounds! Which workable fixative do you use for your pastels?

@RachelHendersonColouring Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I use Loxley spray fixative most of the time, but it smells so much it has to be used outside.

thanks for this video ! :D I am always afraid that i mess up the background . I actually still have a background which looks horable ...and i really hope i can fix it haha. I am trying to do that background with chalk pastels ... but oh dear. I think coloring pencils are better i guess? Although it seems indeed like a lot of work hihi.

Hi, sorry for the late response! I use Loxley Spray Fixative which is the only one I have tried. It works well but does smell so much you need to use it outside. I got it from an independent art shop in the UK which has closed down. You can get it on Amazon - amzn.to/3k2dfhe

Your backgrounds are beautiful, BUT this video doesn’t show/teach me how to do this 😒 For example, did you do the backgrounds first?

@RachelHendersonColouring 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I do have a few background tutorial videos. Whether I do the background first depends on the picture. I always decide if I am doing one first and then decide on the media I will use (pastels or pencil) and then depending on the intricacy of the picture and my mood, I will then decide whether to do it first or last and sometimes do it as I go along.
