Colour Along | Small Victories by Johanna Basford | Prismacolor

[@patjones467]

Love the music! Some videos just replay 7 or 8 notes over and over and over. While the coloring may be instructional, the inssessant repetition of those same notes makes it impossible to watch. So thank you for making your videos calming as well as instructional. I watch every day.

[@laurathompson8848]

Wow, such vibrant colors, another gorgeous masterpiece. I thoroughly enjoy watching you color these pictures and learning different techniques.

Hi Karen, i really enjoy watching your videos. I have recently purchased this book. As a beginner i use your videos as refernce to color. I would really appreciate if you can color along some pages with small illustrations. 😀

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Oh thank you so much 🤗 Let me see what I can do 🤍😁

[@samielupchinsky466]

I've been coloring since 2015 and I didn't know about distress ink! I still don't lol but I absolutely love that and it beats using oil or soft pastels!

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

I've never successfully used masking fluid in a johanna book. for some reason it always tears the paper. I've tried both pebeo drawing gum and windsor newton fluid... I can't figure out if I'm leaving it on too long or not long enough... If I'm putting on too much or not enough... taking it off with just my fingers and the eraser thingy... It's frustrating! But that background is just... wow. Just breathtaking.

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Ohhh I’ve never had my paper torn. I’ll be doing a video on it soon. But I don’t wait long at all after putting it down before I start colouring. I’d say no more than a few minutes (that’s mostly just due to my lack of patience haha). As soon as I finish with the distress ink I take it straight off. So it’s on for definitely no more than an hour, usually a lot less. You don’t want it too thin or you’ll rub off the paper, too think and it’ll sink in and tear the paper too. So think a thin layer like you would an acrylic paint perhaps. When you rub off I use the pad of my finger in circular motions so it doesn’t pull. Hope that helps 🤗🥰

[@lesliefox5853]

I want to start with Distress Inks but there are so many sets to choose from. Do you have certain sets/certain colors that you go to a lot that would be a good place to start? I color mostly in Kerby Rosanes. Thank you,

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Ooh so I bought mine in singles. Started with blues first, but think either tumbled glass or broken China. I love both these colours for skies and clouds 😁

[@gillianatkinson6858]

So stunning Karen - thank you...❤ I've written lots of notes on the things that i now see that i really must have! 😂😂 Distress inks & Sparkle spray for e.g...- i mean, how's a girl meant to survive without such wonderful things! Off i go to the Craft store here in the UK. x

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thanks so much lovely. Distress ink and sparkle spray are absolutely essential haha 😆 Happy shopping 🛍️

[@louisepeers782]

beautiful page !

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thanks Louise 💜❤️🧡

[@olivia2070]

What are you using as base for the page when you do the ink colours for it to not go on the part you will colour with pencils? 😍😍

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

I’m using Winsor and Newton masking fluid. I actually have a video coming out tomorrow on how to use this product in our colouring books 🤗😁

[@berrybest2807]

What is the product you used to protect the image while you were using the distressed inks?

[@lm9327]

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]
