great review, will be ordering right away!! there’s also a calendar with the same illustrations which is really nice

[@ABC-co8id]

what a beautiful book!! and wonderful detailed review as always..it was hilarious though when you said you are happy with how you colored water!!

[@bericankzl7986]

Just bought this colouring book from Amazon. Can’t wait for it to arrive! 😍😍

[@lo3551]

I think KZbin played up for me as I could hear you but while the video played no illustrations flowed for me to see. But 🙏Claire I got the idea by using the 10sec button. It looks a gorgeous book as I love Disney and your voice was lovely to listen too😄😘🌹

Absolutely beautiful you are so talented. Thomas Kinkaid would have been very impressed with it too. He came to our town several times. There was a shop that carried alot of his work. He was a very kind man. And so so talented. Love your Utube. Watch everyone you do.

[@ColourwithClaire]

Aww thank you, and it's nice to hear that Thomas was such a nice guy as well as an amazingly talented artist!

great review.... i am coloring in this book and it will take some time to finish all the pages but great review

[@yaeledmonds5158]

I bought the spiral bound book from Amazon UK recently. I don't think any thought was given to the layout, as the spiral eats into a good centimetre of each page and limits your ability to colour. What a shame! Still, it's a beautiful book, like you said.

[@cynthiarosiek4098]

Wondering if you used watercolor pencil on the water?

[@ColourwithClaire]

No, all prismas :)

[@Jennifer_W]

Thank you for this rewiew. I'm going to buy this book because I love Disney and Thomas Kinkade art. I want to ask you a question: if I color the black and white page, the original picture behind the page will ruin?

[@ColourwithClaire]

No you should be fine, just try to colour lightly x

[@Jennifer_W]

Thank you! You colored a page (wonderfully), so the image behind has not been ruined? This will be my first coloring book and I'm really afraid because I know it's very difficult to color but I want to try the same :)

[@ColourwithClaire]

The paper isn’t great so wetter media might bleed but if you’re careful you’ll be fine. Maybe try using pencils if you’re concerned?

[@Jennifer_W]

Yes I'm going to buy a set of 72 Marco Raffine's pencils. I know that they are not very professional but they are quite good to start

[@angelkin27]

Do you think the paper would work with intense? Beautiful book!

[@Andrea-cy9pn]

How did u paint the water?

[@ColourwithClaire]

I did it with Prismacolor pencils x

[@LKMMcLaw]

I like your idea of changing the colour scheme "halloween"

[@unboundbytiffany]

I just got this coloring book finally after it dropped to like 5 or 6 bucks on Amazon, can't pass that up right. But I'll admit it's a little intimidating how sooo detailed and micro lined etc it is. I want to start but it's like uhm. Where and how lol. Also the paper seems super thin, and I love my alcohol markers but I'm scared to destroy the reference photo with my markers ghosting. Hmm. So I'm excited to see your thoughts on this, soo much! Thank you

[@ColourwithClaire]

Try a layer of smooth gesso, should act as a barrier to your markers xx

[@unboundbytiffany]

@@ColourwithClaire thank you my dear, all 3 of my gessos leave a tooth behind though but if I feel like actually going through the extra work and sanding etc I'll def. Give it a try. Just been avoiding it because it's a process in itself lol not to mention hard with a rambunctious 17 mo old tryna get into everything I do hahaha. But hey after I can color him jkjk

[@bridavis5487]

Can you use markers on this book? The ones I have are non bleed through but I wasn’t sure how they would hold up because of the lack of thickness of the paper.

[@ColourwithClaire]

I would be very careful of using wet media because of the thin paper

[@AmyLGrainger]

Wow, yes no brainer lol thank u. Could even get it spiralled. 😊

[@Mummabear543]

I've just bought this thank you :)

[@catrena5051]

Great review

[@dreamungle7560]

You’re amazing

[@mariedovinson7766]

Wow this is beautiful. Claire do you get a kick back from me ordering via your link? I have anyway 😁xx

[@ColourwithClaire]

Thank you! x

[@emilyvincent7317]

Can you use watercolours on this book

[@soucky1]

I@m shure you already did this review Claire but maybee i imagine that but i knew everythings you've say that's weird LOL!

[@skylarmccready]

I purchased 2 of these books, one for me and one for my dtr (27) and the ONLY reason I purchased them were because they were Disney and she collects that kind of stuff (I bought mine just because I was interested in coloring it lol) Anyway, I tried, I REALLY did, to make a go of it. It's too fussy for me :( and I'm not quite professed enough to fill in backgrounds just yet lol. My daughter hasn't touched hers (no desire to color). The paper seemed too slick, but then again, I only use colored pencils so maybe another medium would work. Now, the reason I only bought the book is, like I said, its Disney. Thomas Kinkade, on the other hand, was a fraudulent, womanizing, alcoholic that had his interns do most of his work. As an artist myself, this was appalling to me, a blatant abuse of their naivete'. I have a feeling mine will end up in the bin.
