Let's Go Through My Coloring Books - Completed Pages and Half Finished Ones, too!

Today, we’re going to be doing something a little bit different. I’m on vacation - so I thought it would be fun to take a journey through a few of my most frequently used coloring books and taking a look at the good, the bad, and quite frankly the ugly.. as some of them turn out fabulously, they get their own video… while others get half colored and then quietly tucked away never to be seen or heard from again. Until today…
So first off, I’d like to thank a viewer named Michelle who sent me this video idea - I thought it was a great opportunity to talk about something we don’t really cover very often, which is artistic confidence. At all skill levels, you get artwork that turns out great and artwork you never want to see the light of day. It happens to me all the time. So as you go through your own coloring journey, try not to get discouraged. Either push through and finish the page or push it aside and start over. Learn from the experience, but don’t dwell on the negative.

I really appreciate that you show "failed" attempts. Everyone is normally showing of the best work and it kinda helps to take away the pressure that every picture has to become a masterpiece. I certainly suffer from that and am often blocked by this self-made pressure. Just to see, that "failed" pictures really happen to everyone is a bit of a relief. Even though i kinda liked your "failed" pages too, maybe you will return to them later on your coloring journey. :)

I wonder if you would reconsider some of the abandoned pages. I understand losing interest in a page, but sometimes I think it's hard to move past the ugly duckling stage. It would be great to see a video where you challenge yourself to go back to a page and see if you succeed. That would help so many people.

I color to relax but get dismayed if my colors aren’t right or I don’t have enough detail or shading. The color pallet limitations that seem to be a rule in the coloring scene challenge me as well and many of my pages end up in the trash. I now color for the reason I started; to have that calm time to myself. If I color something on a page I don’t like, I make sure I do better on the rest of the page as giving up is not relaxing. I really enjoyed you sharing the pages you colored because you are real and because you don’t go over every medium or detail on every page. I am subscribed and really enjoy your work.

I remember you doing so many of theses coloring pages! I started with you very early, and your channel took off! Romantic Country is my favorite. I couldn’t sleep last night, so at 2:00 am, I was coloring along with book two, the rocking house, garden room! I loved the page! Thank you! Kathy

I know how you feel about the paper. I fee the same way sometimes. I switch medium and go for the watercolors when that happens. I am a mostly pencil girl so I don't like when that happens with the paper, but it's all good at the end.Thanks for letting us in on your finished work. So much fun!❤️

First, I have to say that I find your videos very relaxing as well as informative. Your voice is very soothing, IMO. I love videos like this where people show what books they have and/or pages they have colored. It's always fun to see how other people color the same image. I like that you showed images you weren't happy with. Sometimes people get so worried about ruining an image they won't color anything at all. I live by the Bob Ross quote - There are no mistakes, only happy accidents ;) I just discovered your channel recently, but I have watched a few of your videos. I'm glad you mentioned the ones on texture because that is something I'm very interested in.

OMG! And all this time I've heard mama in my head (I'm 59+ yrs) "I don't spend money on these so you can color part of a picture and never finish it!" I now feel vindicated!! I hate that so many of your fails are far better than my greats! (sigh). But I enjoy every one I'm working on while I'm working on it. My son (who is an amazing artist!), has convinced me to accept a fail as a fail and then use it for gaining experience by using a new technique, trying new floor combinations or some other "new" trick. (He's pretty smart about lotsa stuff!!) 😁

Thanks for showing the good, bad, ugly- it’s all a journey! I too am loving the romantic country series. You showed the magical jungle failed double spread w the pinky- red? I would recommend going over it with a pthalo blue or a darker purple-y color! You might still be able to save it. One of my least favorite pages in enchanted forest had something similar happen: goodness knows why but I used a pink faber castell pitt pen for ground in front of the castle gates, then ochre, THEN finally a dark dark green to rescue it. So it’s never too late. But it was one of the very last pages to finish in that book and I was freaking out.....

@amysuewest3826 5 жыл бұрын

Oh, this was nice. I have problems with not filling in the entire book, even though I may have come to hate it or feel totally overwhelmed by it. I also have a picture I am trying to finish...3 months on the darn thing. I dread opening the book to tackle the next element, but I feel irritated that I am letting the page win. Maybe I'll move on to things that I really like so coloring will become fun again.

@1314midnight 4 жыл бұрын

An entire book takes time. I just spent over a year finishing one book. I learn it helps to either go by element (i.e. today I am going to get three leaves done or by time i.e. set a timer for 5minutes and you know no matter what its only 5 minutes of your time). Lastly i have also a need to relax/break time coloring book. This book is simply there for me to color when the one im working on gets to frustrating.

Hi, you said something about a matte finish on your pages so the color doesnt transfer. Do you have a video on it? Like the product. Does it work on gel pens? I have having a lot of problems with my gel pens transfering on to my good completed pages.

Don't worry about buying a lot of supplies or anything like that. There are tons of tutorial online and a bunch of facebook groups that can help you with things like realistic shading and other "art" type stuff. Just buy a coloring book or 2 that you like and pick up some colored pencils (crayola are fine) and start coloring. Once you get the feel for it, start watching some videos and you will be off to the races. If you can afford prismacolor premiere colored pencils they are a good option for a beginnger quality pencil. They blend easily and are great to work with. Good luck!
