December 2023 finished colouring pages (and a WIP or two :)) | Adult Colouring

[@cinqcolours]

I really like pastel winter color palette you did on the snowflake Mandela, the pink and mint green colors go so well together.

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much! :)

[@daisyjail713]

Wow Connie, those sunset pics 😍 Your Rita WIP is beautiful, I can’t wait to see it finished, that sky is stunning! 🥰

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much! :)

[@shannonpatman4952]

So many beautiful pages and I said out loud “wows” for the photos. 😮No snow here in hot Australia, so lovely to see how you colour it 😊💕

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the winter photos! :)

[@ColouringwithK]

Your pages are truly gorgeous Connie, you should be so proud. I love them…also happy new year to you - I wish you all the happiness and success this year and for the many years to come! ❤🌺😊

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much, K! 😊 And happy new year to you, as well - all the best to you and yours! :)

[@kimberlydawn1827]

Thank you so much for the tip on using warm or french greys when you feel like you need another color! I've ruined (in my opinion) numerous pictures by pulling in a random color that just sticks out like a sore thumb. I also really enjoyed your husband's sunset photos that you included. And I can't wait to see your winter wip completed. It's stunning!

[@colouringchemist]

So glad you found the tip useful! I've done that in the past, too - added in another colour because I needed something else which then unbalanced the whole colour scheme. The "add a grey" idea came to me while doing those mandalas. :) And I've now finished the Rita Berman page - I'll "unveil" it in my January finished pages video. :)

[@Michelle-wb6lf]

Connie you are amazing at colouring,I love your snowman picture. 😊

[@colouringchemist]

Awww... Thank you so much! :)

[@bethbrady8146]

I am so grateful to have found you!! delightful!!!

[@colouringchemist]

Glad you're enjoying the videos! :)

[@JordyColours]

Beautiful pages - I love your colour palettes! That sky in your Rita Berman book is stunning 🤩

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much! I've finished that page now - I'll "unveil" it in my January coloured pages. :D

[@jamali_creative]

Love your muted colour palettes and winter sunsets! 💛 I fully agree with you on not bringing too many colours into a page. Doesn't work for me, either.

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much! And yes - it took me quite awhile to figure that out when colouring. :)

[@cindyvisser4088]

Hi Connie beautiful pages😊🎄❄️⛄️

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much! :)

[@carinapoyser5833]

It's the first time I've seen your channel, love the colours you choose. Especially loved the Christmas one you coloured in Matchstick mouse.

[@colouringchemist]

Awww... Thanks so much! :)

[@doodlerobot42]

Love the snowflakes pages. The done one is amazing and i can't wait to see what you do with the other one. Also i really like the Entangled one. Happy New Year!! 🎉🖖👽

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much, Doodle! And Happy New Year to you, too! :)

[@colourfulnightingail]

Beautiful pages Connie! I never thought of using a grey for balancing out a picture - great idea which I'm sure I'll implement soon. Also the sunsets, such a vast array of colours and look forward to seeing a tutorial!.Tfs x

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much, Gail! :)

[@DanahsColoringObsession]

Beautiful pages Connie! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy New Year!

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you, as well! :)

[@amiradeshon5501]

I'm enjoying all your videos ! Happy New Year .

[@colouringchemist]

I'm so glad! Happy New Year to you, as well! :)

[@lsabry]

I know exactly what you mean about adding in one too many colours. It's something I do all too often. I found myself agreeing with every single word you said. But I finished the name plate page in Winter Wonderland a few days ago and I'm so pleased with the result. Trying to work with a limited, muted palette I'd struggled with the fruit (?) in the top left corner. I needed another colour but I knew it would ruin the page then I came up with the same idea as you did! The grey worked perfectly. I loved it in your Xmas tree page and Matchstick Mouse. Hard to pick a favourite, all your pages are beautiful this month. I've been using my pit pens much more since discovering your channel and while I'm trying to keep my spending right down, I might buy a small set of the Staedtler. Thank you.

[@colouringchemist]

Your page sounds beautiful! And I'm so glad you're having fun with your Pitt Pens! :) Thanks for the kind words!

[@nedanashu5025]

Happy New Year Connie!! Lovely pages

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you and Happy New Year to you, too! :)

[@Alisonscolouringandcreativity]

Lovely finished pages I'm loving the skies you've been doing they look fab ❤

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much! :)

[@spare_room_studio]

I really love your Matchstick Mouse! She looks so cute.

[@colouringchemist]

Awww... Thanks! :)

[@juliecontreras2368]

OK you have done something no other colorist has been able to do...and that is to interest me in coloring mandalas! I love your palettes and now I will try my hand and it.

[@colouringchemist]

That's awesome! :) I tend to stick with lots of greys and grey-browns (and lots of white) with just soft pops of colour (soft blues, soft greens, etc.). I'm really enjoying doing the mandalas - hope you enjoy it, too! :)

[@suzanneboily5224]

Beautiful works💓💗

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you! :)

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

I am new here. I have watched a few of your videos. I really enjoy your narration. I am far from being as good as you. I am getting a lot of ideas and tips. I started coloring in 2015. I have a long way to go. Lol

[@colouringchemist]

So glad you found the channel! :)

[@lisakaye75]

I just found your channel and love your work. You use a lot of different medias that I have no idea on how to use, so I am excited to watch your video's and maybe learn how to add interest to my own coloring.

[@colouringchemist]

So glad that you found the channel and are liking the content! :)

[@kyliescolouringindownunder3098]

Thank you! :)

[@sairscreates]

Hi Connie, really loving your channel. Your pages are beautiful :)

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying the channel! :)

[@699jude]

I know what you mean about winter sunsets. Here in the UK, when we do get some clear sky, we often get spectacular pale pink sunsets, especially when they highlight some of the blue gray clouds. People always talk about shading snow with blue, but I've seen some fantastic pink snow sunsets. I'm slightly worried about the mandala WIP where you've used masking fluid. I've come a cropper in the past leaving it on too long, and it cured itself permanently to the paper. I believe it was a Windsor & Newton not Pebeo. I hope you get yours off the paper successfully, it looks like it will be a beautiful picture.

[@colouringchemist]

Yes! I've seen those beautiful pinky/peachy snow sunsets, too - so stunning. :) I didn't mean to leave the masking fluid on as long as I did - time got away from me. :) But thank you for the reminder! Luckily, it came off perfectly (although the background turned out to be... well, folks will see how it went when I post the video ;)). I used the Pebeo masking fluid pen - I'm thinking maybe putting on only a really thin layer of the fluid might be key in how easily it comes off. The pen automatically dispenses a small amount of the fluid - that's one of the reasons I like using it. :) Thanks for stopping by!

[@deana9550]

Comparison is the thief of joy, please don’t compare yourself to others as everyone is on their own artistic journey. ❤

[@colouringchemist]

❤️ Thank you - I need to remember this more often. :)

[@TheColoringAngel]

I struggle with Christmas present colors 😂, I just can't seem to pick colors that go well together except for reds and greens. Grey's sound like a good alternative. Your pages are beautiful!

[@colouringchemist]

Glad you found the tip useful! And thank you! :)

[@TheColoringAngel]

@@colouringchemist your welcome

[@spare_room_studio]

Hi Connie, commenting part way through again, but when you were talking about the JB Christmas tree you are actually instinctively hitting on some art colour theory concepts! Achieving a range and balance of light and dark tones within a limited amount of colours seems to produce some visually striking results. And yes, I do think some maths/sciency principles apply in art too….and just knowing when to break “rules” makes the difference with really good artists.

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much for chiming in, Jackie! I think sometimes I "stumble" across art theory by accident. ;) :) I'm still afraid to "break the rules" - particularly since I don't really know the rules to begin with. ;) I'm enjoying learning, though!

[@spare_room_studio]

@@colouringchemist you are doing great. As long as you enjoy what you do that’s the goal….and even minimal colour theory goes a long way when applied to colouring 👍

[@emilyscoloringcorner6363]

Just subbed! Awesome pages 😊💚

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks so much! :)

[@nothingnessofeverything]

Connie, if you are interested in selling some of your “regrets” I’d love to purchase the colorya book, tooli art, and some of the other “fails” please let me know I live in Los Angeles and can use any platform PayPal or whatever you’d like!

[@colouringchemist]

I think if I do let anything go, I'll probably donate locally. I haven't quite decided, though. :) Thanks for chiming in!

[@suzanneboily5224]

We have land also see many animals

[@colouringchemist]

Very cool! :)

[@annabels9]

Adding dimension to Johanna Basford’s Christmas tree would be difficult as she hasn’t used any perspective on the decorations. It is like that with a lot of her work - she draws all round surfaces as flat. And you can’t work against the original picture.

[@colouringchemist]

Ah - that makes sense. :) That's the kind of "art knowledge" that I don't have and love learning - thank you so much for teaching me! :)

[@suzanneboily5224]

Beautiful pages! I sent you a message on Instagram!

I responded - sorry about the delay! And thank you! :)
