How to create a Background using Acrylic Paint in your Adult Colouring

Welcome fellow Colourist's to a new series. Simple backgrounds for adult colouring pages.
I will show you step by step how to create a background for any of your adult colouring pages.
In this video we will be doing three simple backgrounds using Acrylic Paint.
Paint is a very versatile medium and can be applied in so many ways. I will show you my most used application methods. I am not a professional painter LOL. These videos are the way I complete my personal adult colouring pages. If you have used acrylic paint in your backgrounds comment below your favourite method of application.
If you have a back ground you want to see demonstrated, please leave a comment so I can add it to the series.

Thank you, now I see how to use my folk art glitters in more ways.

[@jicolourist]

Thank you, that is exactly one of the reasons for these videos. Making use of our stash in more ways, glad your found some ideas ❣️

[@SpiceyCatColors]

Love seeing your creative mind in action! Love your demos and the dragonfly glaze over the black backgrounds add so much!

[@jicolourist]

Hi Susanne, thanks for checking in 😊 spring is here. Having some delays on closing my house sale due to some paper work around my husbands death certificate 🤦🏻‍♀️. Crossing my fingers all works out in the next few days. UPDATE the house sale just went through so prayers answered ❣️

[@colouringwithamy]

Really enjoying watching these series of videos and learning some new things.

[@jicolourist]

Thank you Amy for the kind feedback ❣️

[@valerieb8006]

great tutorial! I like them all but the norwhal background is super nice. It looks like he is swimming through the water👍...I also particularly like the 3 blue solid background. Very pretty! tfs🙋👍🥰

[@jicolourist]

Thank you Valerie, I love that the paint looks like water, and I agree the two pages in Lulu Mayo were my favourite.

[@lauramaynard4946]

They are all gorgeous! 💗💜💗

[@jicolourist]

Awe thank you Laura 😊

[@pixiesprojects]

I'm really liking this series. You have done so many quick backgrounds! I love making backgrounds but I definitely struggle with quick. :)

[@jicolourist]

Thank you, I am starting with Easy backgrounds and will move into harder ones later. I just cant seem to leave a white page 😊 so quick and easy.

[@amandacolours]

I love my dragonfly glaze but I’ve never thought to do this with it! I definitely will though! Great tips Jody!

[@jicolourist]

Thanks Amanda, if I can give viewers some new ideas for their supplies then I call it a win ❣️look forward to seeing how you use yours.

[@jackidoser4345]

Your backgrounds look great. I’m going to have to add that dragonfly glaze to my stash. I can see many possible uses. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jicolourist]

You are welcome, the Dragon fly glaze comes in a few colour’s they can be very effective.

[@nancyhappily9503]

Thanks Jody for sharing the info and demos of your new glitter paints. My fàvs were the Mouse stick examples and the lighthouse on the Left side. I also really appreciate your info about the paper in your reviews !

[@jicolourist]

Your welcome Nancy, sometimes the simplest use of our supplies are a surprising success.

[@kyliescolouringindownunder3098]

Hi Jodie the colouring books look so amazing I love my dragonfly glaze i think it’s beautiful xxx ❤❤❤

[@jicolourist]

Hi Kylies, hope your doing well. I agree the dragon fly glaze can add a lot of glitz to the page so easily.

[@sherrydennewitz5011]

Hi Jody! Great Video, I have never seen anyone use that gum, to protect small spaces. I do have some Color Shift Paints, but don't use them enough. I can't wait to see Your Pictures Finished. Have a Wonderful Weekend 💜

[@jicolourist]

Thanks Sherry, I hope that this series encourages people to take a look at what they have in their stash and get some new ideas on how to use them. You have an awesome weekend too ❣️

[@StarryDreamer28]

how do you get the paper to hold up with water? cuz mine always goes through even with a little water

[@jicolourist]

Hi, I feel your pain about paper. In each video I will let you know if I have pre-treated the paper with a watercolour ground or gesso. In todays video I use light layer of acrylic which is less likely to seep through your page if you keep a light hand and do not scrub the paper.
