Thank you kindly for sharing this tutorial! It's quite helpful as always. And, whenever I need help - I go to your page first and search for answers. Thanks for sharing your time and talent!

Kathy Bradley what a lovely message - I’m so glad it helps xxxx

[@deniseshockley]

I have recently found your channel and I’m thrilled that you have given the Polychromos replacement colors. I have recently given my Prismacolor pencils to my niece and nephew as they are only their path to creativity with coloring 💞

[@leyendaos1873]

This is like the red velvet fabric, very similar. I like this effect. Thank you :)

[@mouseydeb3245]

Lovely as always, Claire and a great refresher. I do hope your fur baby is home soon to make Christmas happy for you and family. 🤗

[@BeccizColorEscape]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you Claire for another great tutorial.

[@Boobatz490]

Very beautiful! I hope Freckle is home and recovering for the holidays💚

[@coletteforth2540]

I’ve only just found you and I am so glad. I will certainly be colouring in a dahlia as it looks amazing and you make it very easy to understand and follow

Oh that page that enabled me to have to buy 2 more books. Lol.I will be doing it again lol. This is perfect Claire. I posted in my group. Thanks

[@katherinetaylor5323]

Very beautiful! Love those colours.

[@plstuart1965]

Lovely. I wish everyone posted alternative colors between Prismacolor Premier and Polychromos.

[@ClaireHoloway]

Phyllis Stuart I agree - I don’t usually but it’s a good idea I might take on to future tutorials xxxx

[@faolagrant221]

Thank you so much for the tutorial..I love your technique!😃

[@DollarDiva99]

Beautiful. I must say, you are one of the few Colorist I can personally relate to! It seems we have a similar Coloring style. I enjoyed this video. Btw I have a Labrador retriever too. He's a 9 month old Yellow. Hugs and kisses to freckles 💙

[@Kimberly-jl7rh]

I love your channel and appreciate the time you spend doing them. I especially love that you describe how to color. I don't know if I am not putting enough pressure to get the color down but I have to use a blender pencil to get some of the velvet affect.

[@melissanagy2646]

Perfection as always Claire, thank you for your generosity.

[@lizrenwick1180]

As usual great tutorial Claire thanks and love to Freackles😊

[@ClaireHoloway]

Lo yes I will at some point:) difficult days at the moment, my Dalmatian is recovering from a major spinal op and my husband and I are caring for him 24/7. It’s two hourly massages and turns even through the night. Hopefully in the next month or two we are hoping to see him back on his feet ❤️❤️🐾🐾

[@showorchid72]

ESTÁ FICANDO PERFEITA ESTE COLORIDO. LINDO.

[@ClaireHoloway]

andrea ferreira leite thankyou ❤️

[@foxykc]

I tend to use the Prismacolor black with the Polychromos because it is softer

[@ClaireHoloway]

Kit Cleary Prismas are softer xxx

[@catstar7914]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorials and helping us to become better at colouring. I heard you using an electric sharpener, can you tell me the brand that you use please? 🙂🙂

[@ClaireHoloway]

Cat Jo it’s unbranded but I have a new Swordfish one which is sooooooo good :)

[@catstar7914]

@@ClaireHoloway Thank you 🙂. That will be on my shopping list 😁.

[@riahall223]

Thank you Claire,I love watching your videos,they are so helpful. Could you please tell me if any of the Poly’s are meant for the centre of the flower.,thanks🤗🤗

[@ClaireHoloway]

Ria Hall hi - no - blue violet and crimson for the inners on the Ivy double page xxx

[@donnacarver4751]

I would like to see a link to all of your tutorials.

[@ClaireHoloway]

A nice idea but unfeasible! :)

[@pattigraham9130]

So helpful. Thank you a bunch! I only wonder this: when you do the first layer of red after the black - do you go a little bit on top of the black -- and then the next red, does that go ALL the way down to the black or ONLY on the first layer of red? Just a little confused. Thank you!

[@ClaireHoloway]

Patti Graham look up the couple of tutorials on how I blend - it’ll answer this question in loads of detail :)

[@sherryb6652]

Hi Claire, thank you for all your videos. Beautiful work. May I ask, how many pages in Inky and Ivy you have finished? You have done some really beautiful pages.

[@ClaireHoloway]

Sherry B I must be about 2/3 to 3/4 done 🥰

[@judysavage3809]

Beautiful - where do I find the description that you refer to with the crayon colours.

[@ClaireHoloway]

Judy Savage it’s in the tutorial notes :)

Judy Savage it’s in the tutorial notes :)

[@judysavage3809]

Thanks Claire - I figured it out right after I sent my email. I’m a little behind the times! My friend and I are thoroughly enjoying your tutorials and hope you’ll do more on Johanna’s books, especially World of Flowers. We’re both discovering colouring ‘later in life’ and your guidance is encouraging us. Thank you!

[@shari7245]

Hello. I love your videos. Would you please let us know what brand of pencil sharpener you use? Thank you

[@ClaireHoloway]

Shari Magnussen it’s a Jakar xxx

[@mapenn1031]

What type of sharpener are you using?

[@ClaireHoloway]

Maria Penn it’s just an unbranded battery driven one from Amazon :)

[@mapenn1031]

Thank you, Clare. Thank you for sharing your techniques. Love watching and learning from you!
