Hello everyone! Welcome back to my channel, my name is Rachel. If you’re new here, PencilStash is a resource for learning all about the world of adult coloring. We do coloring tutorials, colored pencil and other medium technique demonstrations, and inspirational ideas, so.. if that is interesting to you, please consider hitting that like button, subscribing, and checking out the back catalog of videos for other things you may be interested in seeing.
Now, today, we are going to start with the basics… and this video is really for all those folks out there that are maybe just discovering adult coloring and either aren’t sure where to start or maybe you’ve been coloring for a while but want to up your skills a little bit - this video is a great place to start and my back-catalog is a great place to dig in to dive even deeper.
And just a caveat… I am not an expert. I’m just someone who has been using colored pencils and coloring for a long time and am just sharing my knowledge and experience, as I have lived it. There’s obviously lots of artistic style and opinion and options out there. This one is mine.

@karinswartz3046 2 жыл бұрын

@@foreva4eva385 I whole heartedly agree! The buttery feel when you put pencil to paper is an experience! I actually tried a school pencil the other day and I quickly tossed it aside. i couldn't stand the drag on the paper! The Prisma pencils enable the newest person to colouring to have success. I also have a 12 set of Faber Castel that I started with, and although they are nice, in my opinion, they just don't behave like the Prisma set. What are your favourite colouring books?

I'm so happy I found your videos! My husband is an artist. It just comes naturally to him. Me, not so much LOL! But one thing I do enjoy is coloring in these adult coloring books. I have about 50 of them, well over 1000 color pencils and markers and I still color like I am a beginner. (I've been coloring in these coloring books for at least 10 years) I wanted to go to the next level but didn't know how. Watching this video shows me that you are the missing link in getting my pages to pop! Thank you so much!

She does it all for you. She’s also adding more now that she’ll be sending out free to people. Who are you on the companion who

Are you still colouring? I have been Diamond painting for months and trying to learn cross stitch. I'm not great at crafts, but I loved colouring as a kid and when there were no computers and only a few channels on tv, my colouring books came in handy, lol. Thanks in advance .:)

I was stressed about not knowing how to match colors and I wasn’t enjoying the coloring process. I bought a color wheel 👎🏽 it was of no use. For me this is a game changer. I clicked and I subscribed.

Great video! For beginners who want to use soft wax pencils but need a more affordable option, I suggest Black Widow brand. I’m retired. Pencils get used up and you need to buy more so it can get expensive. I have a set of 36 Prismacolors.but actually prefer my Black Widows. They have 144 colors spread over 7 sets. My cheaper (graphite?) pencils don’t blend. My BWs blend like my expensive Prismacolors. For beginners, blending is a way to make pencil coloring look like it was made with markers. Blending forces the pigment down into the tooth of the paper making it darker, more vibrant, more solid and seamless.

Thank you so much! I'm a frustrated beginner and I've spent hours watching artists that are way beyond me. I learned more usable information from you than all the others. I like colored pencils and haven't invested in a set of alcohol markers, which I'm told bleed thru pages and over lines, and what I call expensive, is cheap in the marker department. And who wants to buy 2 books so you can do all of 1 book? I went to Amazon and am ordering stuff you recommended. Thanks bunches! 🌻

@PencilStash 3 жыл бұрын

Hello and thanks so much for those kind words! Really appreciate it and glad some of the info I share is helpful to you! I am a big fan of starting small and working your way up to the investment pieces if you're enjoying coloring. Try the stuff you ordered and go from there. Good luck to you!

@rauchschwalbelp7693 2 жыл бұрын

My tip is to copy the image from the coloring book you like and print it on a sheet of paper suitable for your drawing medium. That way I will always have the original and can paint it as often as I want and even in different styles and with different drawing mediums! And if you like alcohol markers and don't want to invest a fortune I would recommend Ohuhu. They have really great markers which some even compare to Copics and they are really cheap, starting from 50ct for these with chisel and bullet tip and 1$ for brush and bullet tip. They are so good and I love them!
