10 Tips for Coloring: Picking and Using Colors in Art

[@magistra137]

I think this was very helpful and clear. I think it will really help my coloring to put more thought into it at the beginning. I'm one of those that wants to put every color I own into my projects. I knew it wasn't as effective, but seeing your examples that are more controlled really brings it home that a limited pallette is better. Thank you so much! I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@WindyIris]

I'm very glad you found it helpful. It can be hard to resist the call of the many colours but I always feel that less is more in these situations:)

[@craftygirlpurple626]

Wow your tips were very helpful I love the one pattern piece where you talk about the starting point ever at the corner or the middle I love the design seed on Pinterest I forgot what's the name of the other one this video was very fun thank you so much for sharing it have a bless one creative colorful hugs to you

[@rubylong9629]

Your tips are really helpful! I have used some of them while doing art at school and even in my own sketchbook!

[@quiltknit]

I love 💕 these Tips! I love the piece You say do not like because of the color! Your right do not give up! I started a piece with Gel White Pens - the ones everyone uses! Well, Sakura pens and Uni- ball Signo, we are always in a fight to the death! The piece was started in Summer 2917 on Strathmore Black Paper-I Just finished it last night. 01/05/2017. My inspiration came in an Art Box 📦- it is a Sharpe Watercolour white Marker, a package of fine Liners from a different Art Box 📦. I am so pleased 😀 I kept my work in Progress.

[@WindyIris]

Thanks Sherrie - I think its always good to keep work in progress and half finished pictures, you can always come back and revisit them:) I actually like the posca white paint pen for my highlights. Your piece sounds really cool, white on black:)

[@silkeschumann7261]

10:25 You might want to challenge your self with minimal contrast and no outlines. I love those intriguing patterns, they seem to be iridescent.

[@WindyIris]

Yes that would be a good challenge:)

[@ITHrealXD]

[@WindyIris]

[@AndreaMercierArtist]

Hey Maisie...just a quick note....at 1:57 you have spelt palette incorrectly. The way you spelt it is for a wooden pallet that you ship things on...not a palette of colours. Love the video....you go girl!

[@WindyIris]

+Andrea Mercier Thank you for the heads up - I've fixed it the best I can without taking the video down.

[@AndreaMercierArtist]

Awesome! I really liked the video...and you are on my list of videos to make as soon as I get through this #LoveSpringArt event. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo not ready this month!

[@WindyIris]

I know what you mean, this month is pretty hectic for me too:) I'm working on the next event video at the moment and my next set of colouring pages. . . that and drinking lots of tea of course:)

[@AndreaMercierArtist]

Awesome! Do you have any abstract pages?

[@WindyIris]

The next set if going to be 26 girls faces but I have lots of other line art lying around, how you mean abstract?

[@luckyaxe8784]

+Maat Silk thanks!

[@mayjohnson964]

If your English, why do you spell colour as color?

[@WindyIris]

It's better for search:)
