Johanna Basford Ivy & the Inky Butterfly - basic gemstones

[@kellybee1935]

You have saved me on gemstones. Mine ended up looking like dollar store plastic gems. The thing I live the most about coloring is that no two things are exactly alike when it comes to nature. Thank you so much.

[@sabsol3]

You are my favorite teacher, I wish that you would continue coloring and teaching. I miss watching everyone of your tutorials.

[@julieyoung6387]

[@karengill6214]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, for me as a beginner I was having trouble understanding how to colour the gems in Johanna’s books and others with like gemstone images, I was feeling quite confused until I saw your tutorial and now it all makes sense! Feeling enthusiastic about my gem colouring now I am a happy Vegemite 🙏😊

[@ClaireHoloway]

I always love anything green and your green emerald is perfect. It looks so realistic

[@HillbillyTrash]

[@beccacox4666]

Thank you so much! I feel so unsure and nervous about coloring gemstones (almost to the point of avoiding pictures with them in them) and have watched a bigillion videos and was SOOOO CONFUSED! Again, thank you! I really understand your tutorials really help me!

[@kimhemm1105]

Good Morning Claire. I just love this tutorial. I went directly into my Hanna Karlzon Magical Dawn book, & colored 1 of the faucet gem stones & it looks beautiful. Thank you so much for your tutorials. They have raised the bar in my coloring techniques for sure. 😍

It’s an electric eraser :) there’s good deals on the Derwent brand on Amazon UK right now. I’m not an affiliate. Just had a quick look at prices for you, they are currently £5. Xx

[@showorchid72]

Hi Claire, Hope you are well.Great to hear your podcast with passionistacolorita recently.I wanted to ask if you ever tried your hand at bokeh background? If yes then would you be so kind to do a tutorial on it on your KZbin channel?Also, are there any books on color theory you could recommend for beginners to go through? I still find myself struggling to pick out color combinations that work well together.Any advice on it from your end would be highly appreciated.Love your work!

[@ClaireHoloway]

Sing Gal hi!! I’m so glad you like the tutorials and we’re able to listen to the podcast!!! It was so much fun. I’ve not done a Bokeh background but there are two Colorists Special Effects books by Helen Elliston - I think the second one covers how to do bokeh 😃

[@showorchid72]

Claire Holoway Colouring Sorry but who is the 2nd colorist?

[@ClaireHoloway]

Sing Gal both are by Helen :)

[@acolourist1798]

[@alimoore589]

What's the eraser you used?

[@tonyavanwinkle5566]

I want to know that too

[@barbarabolton1768]

How do you know which blues to pick? To make them go together.

[@ClaireHoloway]

Barbara Bolton hi!!! It experience using colour palettes over and over - but when I first started I picked a range of one colour from very dark to very light. The opal is slightly different as it need a little fiery yellow in the middle xxx

[@dianneallen583]

Why do you think many gemstone artist put their name on the pages we color in their books?

[@annapetrova198]
