Good morning Claire. I am delighted with your perception of the illustration Johanna and your teachings from the illustration. Your teaching causes me sighs of joy and learning. Thank you.

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Thank you! I have been wanting to learn how to do flower petals like this for two years. I've tried on my own and by watching other videos and this is the first time it was clear and easy and I was able to do it. 😁

[@ClaireHoloway]

fa3ryg1rl1 ah I’m so glad!!!!

[@nancygreen9730]

HI Claire, I'm new to coloring and loving it. This video was absolutely needed. Not too much to consume at once. Instructions are very clear! Hope to see more.

[@FrancieSmith-et3bv]

I have only just started watching tutorials and was drawn to yours Claire because of a link on the JB page that you put up. I've been in the garden, came in for a coffee and thought I would look for your tutorials. My coffee is now cold and I need to go back in the garden but I'll be back. I'm so, so delighted I have found you - your voice is soothing, I love how you are wearing PJ's and this technique is amazing. I can't wait to try it.

[@ClaireHoloway]

[@sueberry1727]

Hi Claire just want to say a massive thankyou for your fanstastic tutorials I had this book and a 150 set of prismas for Xmas and I have coloured in the same page and followed yiur tutorials and same colours exactly and although not as good as yours I am really pleased with the results I sent a pic to my sister and her answer was wow wow wow so thankyou again and I look forward to watching more tutorials they are soooo helpful for us amateurs sue xx

[@ClaireHoloway]

Sue Berry wow!!!! That’s great! I’m so pleased you got to use your gifts and loved the page 🎨🎨🥰

[@betsyzelinger]

I just got this coloring book today, so I checked to see if you had a video about it. And you did. Perfect! Now I'm ready to start. Thank you. 🌷🌷

[@KW-wy6xg]

HI, first I would just like to say that I love your tutorials. Although I have been drawing over half my life, I only started "adult" coloring very recently and believe it or not it is very easy to get lost and very confused when you have watched as many tutorials I have. Bec cause I have been drawing so long I did not think this kind of coloring would be as difficult as I am finding it. I have an excellent concept of color theory which helps. I could not fixture out what Ii was doing wrong I have purchased so, so many items that were not at all necessary for a beginner's stage. One day Ii decided on wanted a new hobby. Something that was relaxing and could occupy my mind and hands (if that makes sense) and with that I decided on coloring. From there and after watching a couple tutorials, I went to our local craft store and purchased Prismas(150 set), mineral oils, several types of blenders and so on. The ONE thing I did nt think of though was paper I do not know why paper never came to mind. Common sense should have told me that paper is as important of not more important than the pencils you are using. I was wondering if you could offer some advice on which paper works best for coloring with colored pencils. I know this can be googled, but there isn't just one answer. Search results offers a few answers. For instance vellum seemed to e very popular so I went and purchased vellum. When I got home and I opened the paper it was transparent I do nit want to waste anymore money. I have tried looking at colouring books and nowhere does it state the type of paper being used. I rent off all my coloring sheets, which I purchase from Etsy. So not only do need a good paper, but one that will go through a printer. Hope you can help

[@ClaireHoloway]

Hi there. Firstly, thankyou for your feedback on the channel. This was only ever a hobby for me, but the tutorials have helped so many people. I do, however, feel a big guilty, as you’ve clearly taken s lot of time to write. Thing is, I’m not a whizz on different types of paper. I’ve only ever coloured on the paper provided by the book publishers. However, my best friend Claire Eadie slso has a very popular channel - Colour with Claire - and she is very knowledgable on paper types. You might want to drop her s line - but make it tomorrow - as I know that she has a personal event which will mean she’s most likely not online today xx

[@Paksieable]

So depending on where the creases are you could say that there is where you could start your darkest colors. Love this.

Thank you for a lovely video.

Such a great tutorial Claire, believe me or not but to me make Flowers is the most difficult things i've try to do since i color like an Adult but with your Fantastic tutorial i will gave it a try know, because i have the book and it's fresh on my memories LOL! I know just have to do in the same time but i can't do Flowers and something else in the same time, my Hubby tell me it's because i don't like Flowers and it's true, i love having my Flowers on my Garden but any on my House because of the smells remind me dyed so this will be an Awesome exercises to do Dear Claire, Thank You so much, you explain so well it's very easy to follow your infos and you have a Golden voice so it's calm myself to ear you!

Hello Claire. This is first tutorial of urs I have watched and it certainly won't be the last. I consider myself a novice when it comes to colouring even tho I've been doing it for about 3 years. I feel I produce nice work when I have followed a tutorial. They don't always explain the techniques tho like u have. This effect u have created is stunning. It looks really effective and I thought it was going to be quite difficult but the way u have shown, I feel I can do this ( although not as beautiful as urs ). Cannot wait go try this. My world of Flowers book arrived today so I will be watching this tutorial at the weekend . Amazing video. I'm off to watch some more of ur other videos now. Xxx

[@ClaireHoloway]

Claire wheelhouse Thankyou for taking the time to leave such positive feedback. It makes everything worthwhile!!

The way I see it, if you are going to take the time and effort to make videos to help others who want to learn new techniques or to improve on them then it’s only right that the viewers give our support and feedback. After this tutorial, I’m going to try the drapes tutorial in Ivy and the Inky Butterfly. Thank you again for the AMAZING videos xxx

[@roonilwazlib5402]

I‘ve just found your channel and would really love to see you drawing something in the book ”Draw and color relaxing flowers” from Radu Frasie. It just came out and the special thing about this adult coloring book is that there are no black lines. They are in a super light grey tone so you can draw even more realistic if you want. That would be so awesome if you would order one and showed us how you’d draw in it. (I’ve ordered myself one because I loved the concept without black lines but am new to coloring and would need a tutorial on how to draw realistic in it 😅)

[@ClaireHoloway]

Roonil Wazlib well, drawing is most definitely not my forte, but as you work your way through the videos you’ll see plenty of ideas for drawing in / adding backgrounds - perspectives, sea, hills etc 🎨🎨🎨🎨
