[@lauracolorstoo]

Are you coloring metal too? Let me know what works for you or what struggles you're having in the comments below! ❤

[@vivianecailler9451]

I will make gold pink with polychromos but i dont know where are the best colour to use.. have you an idear ?

[@lauracolorstoo]

Great question Viviane! I will do a tutorial on this color (and a few more metals) in the future - but my guess by looking at my swatch chart is I would try this combo for Rose Gold: 280 Burnt Umber, 283 Burnt Sienna, 130 Salmon, and 131 Coral. Since I haven't tried this yet, please do experiment with it before you go on your page with that mix and let me know what you think!

@@lauracolorstoo ok i check this combo thank you 🎨🧡

Hi Laura, I’m very new to coloring and I may be way over my head with this one. I will try to follow with Prismas, but I cannot find the equivalent for green gold in any of my charts, would artichoke work? I have: walnut brown = burnt umber Raw umber = sienna brown Cream = Deco yellow/jasmine Green gold = Artichoke? Thanks! I’m loving your videos, I have to watch them in parts because I get constantly interrupted 😒 I also have a page on a book that I’m not sure if it’s been translated to English, it’s a book by Isabel Allende, the Porcelain Nymph, it has a page that is filled with pocket watches, just like the one you showed, and I love it! I see it with different metal colors. I’m afraid I’ll ruin it, so I will try to make a copy of it... I have the Poly to Prisma conversion chart from Colour with Claire. Please, where can I get your conversion charts?

Please list the color of each pencil you are using in the beginning or in the comments. Thank you. 😊

Your calming encouragement is wonderful. Love spending time with you. I’ll be coloring a lot of metals. I also suggest people watch your Steam Punk gear videos. Fantastic!

Hello from canada

[@lauracolorstoo]

Hi Rose Marry Rose! Thanks for watching!

[@tammygeorge1638]

I've got every color but the green gold in the polys. What color can I use in a different set that would match it? I've got prismacolors, arteza, castle, carn dash, koh noor, ColorIt, amazon, fantasia, sergeant, Crayola, lmao! 😄 😄. yep! I can go on. But which,matches do you know?

[@lauracolorstoo]

Tammy, I will check tonight after work and let you know! I think there's a similar color in polys that might work! 🤗 But I'll let you know about Prismas too!

[@tammygeorge1638]

@@lauracolorstoo thank you! ,after watching the whole video! I heard you say you were going to make a conversion chart! That would be awesome! .I've viewed a couple of other ones, and they don't have all the polys, lol. So I stopped looking, lol.

[@lauracolorstoo]

@@tammygeorge1638 Still, that won't be for a while (I've got a really busy month) - so the colors I'd recommend instead of Green Gold are: Polychromos 183 Light Yellow Ochre or Prismacolor 1034 Goldenrod... I hope these suggestions work instead! Try it out and let me know what you think!

[@tammygeorge1638]

@@lauracolorstoo no problem! Thank you! I'll try them! 😊 😉 💖

[@hshwhitten]

Tammy George me too. I figured I would use the Artichoke from PrismaColors and it worked pretty well.

[@markdeluca6044]

Such a great start to a great page!❤

I'm so happy you're doing this page, Laura, because this is one of my favorite pages of Kerbys books. Thanks for sharing your amazing skills.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment, and thanks for watching!

[@hshwhitten]

This is so pretty. I can’t wait for the ancient cultures, Mayan color along.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thank you Heather! I'm excited about that one too!

[@hshwhitten]

What book do I go to for the ancient cultures color along

[@lauracolorstoo]

Heather, for my stream, I'll be working in my book, Circle Portraits. You can get it here: www.etsy.com/listing/669371467/circle-portraits-coloring-book-signed There is also an older version of this drawing that I put on my Etsy shop before I updated and redrew it for the book (You can see the hummingbird is not as nice, and some other linework is sketchy), it's still in my shop as a single page here: www.etsy.com/listing/616517543/the-legend-of-the-sun-and-moon

[@sherryramirez6329]

One question also most of my pencils aren't prisma due 2 their cost. Could u give alternativels plz

[@lauracolorstoo]

I work in many different brands including crayola. This series is using polychromos not prismas. I chose different materials for different videos. What brands are you requesting?

[@sherryramirez6329]

@@lauracolorstoo i have shuttle art which is kind of generic and arteza

[@lauracolorstoo]

@@sherryramirez6329 I'm sorry Sherry, I don't have either of those brands.

[@sherryramirez6329]

@@lauracolorstoo its cool um one other question for you. How do you know when the tooth of the paper is gone? I typically use mixed media due to its all purpose nature or sometimes Colored pencil paper.

[@lauracolorstoo]

@@sherryramirez6329 when it's slick and no longer accepts more layers, the tooth is flattened.

[@helendonohoe1575]

What book are you using

[@lauracolorstoo]

I'm using colormorphia here, but all the info is usually in the description and at the beginning of the video.. in general 😂😅
