Colourist’s Special Effects 2 | Book Review

[@Hooverpixie24]

These make coloring things you didn’t think you can fun. There is an “AH HA!” Moment when you didn’t know you could do something. I LOVE THESE.

[@karenbaildon7891]

Claire,I only discovered you and your reviews yesterday and already you ve cost me a fortune😳lol.Seriously I enjoy your reviews,they’re really helpful and your colourings are superb

[@ColourwithClaire]

Welcome aboard!

[@hcelliston]

Thank you so much for reviewing my book Claire! Fantastic video! Xx

[@ColourwithClaire]

Thank YOU for everything you've worked hard on in this book! xx

[@simonlastname7180]

I've ordered both of your special effects books now, so excited !!

[@carolwelsh2399]

Thanks to your Colour With Claire Reviews... Ive just bought all 3 of these sfx books. Look fantastic. Knowing what I was getting with the total flip through made me want them even more. A big help. Thanks :)

[@yazosoyo]

Wow! I now need this 2nd book!importing this 2nd book is very expensive 🥺 Your conversion charts to Prismacolors are so so useful! As a beginner, I’m trying to have a curated collection of pencils sets, your charts have allowed me to follow tutorials with my Prismacolors and not having to buy all those other brands. If I get any better I will buy the FC Polychromos.

[@bethmegansmith4642]

your examples are amazing Claire they look Brilliant you are so talented . happy coloring xxxxx

[@mariannekeller7504]

Love this - thank you so much! If you have any influence with Helen, please encourage her to do more with cats and dogs as well as other common animals! Thanks again!!

[@Nathalie_MR]

Great review Claire! I just ordered the first one after seeing your review and this one is going in my wish list for a next order. I'm glad you were able to show the whole books, because it's what convinced me that they are a great buy. :)

[@janetdanes7945]

Thanks so much for your comprehensive and enthusiastic review. I’m off to order it now. 😃

[@danielemeilleur2732]

Thank you for the review and a BIG thank you for the polychromos/prisma equivalent chart. I already have the first book (after watching your review) and I will certainly get this one to.

[@raggedyroad]

I took a break from coloring and switched to watercolor for several years due to hand pain. I had purchased volume one back when it first came out. Thank you for this tutorial. I am just getting back to coloring and had totally forgotten about the book. I have ordered volume 2 and plan to purchase 3 & 4. These will be a tremendous help.

[@simonlastname7180]

You showing each page is what makes me buy both books, it's what I would have been able to check for myself if I could get them at a bookstore (unfortunately coloring books etc are hard to come buy in physical shops where I live). And I really like the way you do reviews so I hope you'll continue with those =)

[@melissaclair1508]

I bought the last book because you showed everything in it, and I want to buy this one too. I am hesitant to buy books when I haven’t seen everything inside of it.

[@sandycrawford4062]

Definitely going to order both books. Thanks for showing these informative books.

[@ilustralilian_]

I was really excited for the review of this book. I'll certainly get it. Thank you so much for the review!

[@gentilagnes]

It is super complete, I long to have it, in France already waiting ... that details, to know .... what work! No doubt this one will sell and you help all the colourists! Thank you for your talent and your knowledge ....

[@lesleymcleod6284]

Mine is ordered. It is a long wait coming to Australia. I also hope it is continued. Fantastic reference and I use my 1st book all the time.

[@sandywedmore1238]

[@agneskwok5829]

Nice review! I would definitely get one and hopefully it will be on book depository soon too.

[@MultiSpaniels]

Ok, so when is book depository going to have this book in stock, as it's a must have

[@showorchid72]

Hi Claire, Thanks for reviews.I must say they are very detailed and thorough.I am keen on getting some of books that could me as a beginner colorist.Would you recommend these over Rachel Reinert's book or do you think having all three( Helen's and Rachel's) books would be better.Keen to get your response.Thanks.

[@ColourwithClaire]

Without wanting you to spend too much money I would say if you can, get the three books. They all have different things to offer x

[@showorchid72]

Colour with Claire Many thanks Claire.Just placed an order for 2 of the books by Helen and Rachel. Still trying to source for Helen’s 2nd book.Apart from Amazon, is there any other website that stocks Helen’s 2nd book?

[@ColourwithClaire]

No, Amazon only. Is it out of stock? X

[@showorchid72]

Colour with Claire Amazon is not the most convenient option considering I live in Singapore.So I was wondering if there are any other online stores/resources that carry this book.Would you also recommend Jennifer Zimmermann’s Coloring Secrets book as well?

[@chantaldesormeaux1798]

What is thé full name for Rachel and the name of her book, i have both oh Helen's but not Rachel. I have one other book called " Color Workshop " . Is that the one ?

[@jennymorgan1587]

Thank you, an excellent review, I can’t wait for my book to arrive.

[@saracampana79]

Your videos are fantastic as much as this book is!! Thank you so much

[@bobbig.793]

[@catherinemccallen7982]

Totally awesome!! Both the book itself and the great review!!

[@evab.1961]

This book is fantastic! I have a part 1 and I´m stil waiting for delivery of part 2.

[@CuriosityRocks]

Thank you for reviewing this book

[@tonihouston8745]

Both of these books look great. They would be very easy with the step by step guide for beginners. I love the skin tutorials in both books. I also like the finished metal look. And Billy bonus you can practice along with the video she has done on skin in the first book.

[@redoorn]

Because of your reviews, I've purchased both of Helen's techniques books.

[@susannebuchholz785]

Great,the things look like photos! I need this helpful book(and part 1,too)!

[@CRESVERO]

Bravooooo pour la présentation de ce merveilleux livre tuto...même en Anglais est compréhensible par les images pas à pas. 👏🏻👍🏻

[@peggypicasso9490]

[@lauracraig6343]

Thanks for this its on my Christmas list 😀

[@annemariegrady9598]

Great review can’t wait to order this!

[@danettetrostle7173]

Good morning Claire...I’m putting these on my Christmas list. I need all the help I can get...these books in watching you are really Cool. I wish I would of heard of these a couple years ago. Thank-you so much!😎

[@ColourwithClaire]

Danette Trostle They only came out this year xx

[@danettetrostle7173]

So I didn’t miss out to bad. 😎

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

Thanks, Claire, these are wonderful ✨🙌✨

[@karenmeakin2949]

An amazing book with so much in it for me to learn! xx

[@HillbillyTrash]

I've seriously got to stop buying books and make myself get the first and second book. I've been coloring for little over a year now but I'm no where near even an intermediate colorist. I can see myself adding loads of techniques to my blooming skills.

[@Andrea-cy9pn]

I need those books but havent been able to find them in my country..does she write which colors to use for each activity?

[@beverlysmith8904]

This was amazing..so much so that I just purchased book 1..they didn't have volume 2 but once Amazon gets it I will get it

[@ColourwithClaire]

It's on Amazon, check the description for the link x

Hi.I have the first book and i need this one too. Thanks for sharing :)

[@susannebuchholz785]

Thank you very much for your video!!!It seems to be a very helpful book! I want to buy it! I have the Polychromos (120)and I suppose that it works with it, too.You told it at the beginning!👍✍️💚

[@gloriamargarita]

I'm getting this! (Kindle version though)

[@Bluegreen7Pau]

I got this one, it's so useful!

[@NoDontLikeIt]

Please stop saying "it's not perfect, but.....". Lol. Nobody's coloring is perfect, and a lot of people aren't happy with their own coloring even though others are wowed at how it came out. The point of the book is to learn, and when you're learning something, it's hardly ever perfect, no matter how hard you try--that's normal. I think colorists would rather follow others whose work is NOT perfect, I know I would. Just my opinion, anyway.

[@louisegrayson31]

Fab review l. My teanager just said wow, your channel name should be Cleaver Claire Colours. Xx

[@louisegrayson31]

Oops I ment to say clever not cleaver

[@elainevnuk2264]

Thank you for this review.

[@kathydittmer9659]

I hope you get commission for your salesmanship! I ordered the first one straight away!

[@angelaporch2984]

Love your reviews.

[@Shannonconstantlycolors]

Thank you! Xoxo

[@anniecarter9805]

Brilliant book

[@pate8250]

Really good review.

[@suewilkinson910]

Sadly it's showing as "Currently Unavailable" on Amazon UK.

[@ColourwithClaire]

+Sue Wilkinson Should be on now?

[@suewilkinson910]

Colour with Claire Yes! It's on my Christmas list.

[@jeannieleasa1579]

Which book would you say is the best?

[@ColourwithClaire]

ApplePecan Sews Can’t decide as both have different & fantastic tutorials!

[@twinksheartsong4478]

Claire I would love so much if you would do me a favor. Each time you think about saying "It's not perfect".....slap yourself.😆 You are a treasure trove of talent!😙

[@ColourwithClaire]

Haha, ok! X

[@JaneMetcalfe]

Looks like a brilliant book but I've not even got round to buying the first one yet lol. However, why does she always used Prismacolors, not everyone (including me) likes them. I tend to go for more realistic coloured pencils but I guess it's personal preference I suppose. Great video by the way!

[@ColourwithClaire]

Prismas are her favoured pencils but there is that prisma/poly chart in there x

[@JaneMetcalfe]

Cool!x
