Brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing this technique with NeoColor II.

[@w.vangaal1077]

Have you ever tried using them with the caran d'ache waterbrush with felt tip point? If you leave it uncapped it will dry out a bit so it doesn't give as much water.. use circle motions and rub when finished and the result are really nice. There is also a video from colouring with clair about making a background and she suggested to use several layers.. then wax will build and you will create a flat background without areas with less colours. Loved all your tips but I wanted to add this.

[@ColoringwithAlena]

Thank you for the advice! I've never tried Caran d'Ache waterbrushes and don't have any idea where I can get one with delivery to Ukraine, but I will look for it!

Stunning 🥰🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

[@13Moondancer]

I love neocolors 2 so much.

[@kathlud1]

Wait, did you show how you did those dots on the background in the end? OMG your dragons are AMAZING!

[@ИринаКарымова-ф2з]

Спасибо,Алена,как же нужны Ваши уроки,спасибо,что дарует нам такое счастье!!!

[@SwedePotato314]

I love this! I just got a small package of Neocolor II and I can't wait to play with them. I am also SO happy to see that you use white nights. I've been a watercolor artist for years and I LOOOVEEE White Nights. And the newer pastel shades are just gorgeous.

[@easterellen]

Hi Alena, Thank you for this video. I follow you here and on Patreon and I have learned much from your videos from the very start of my colouring journey. I really enjoy how you walk us through the process by telling us what your thoughts are rather than just colouring and playing only music. Have a lovely tomorrow, Easter

[@ColoringwithAlena]

Thank you dear Ester, I'm so happy to hear that my videos are helpful!

[@beautycarecentral5822]

I just find your video on how to use neon color for backgrounds. I just buy them and I will try to put in practice your tips. Thank you so much.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

You are a total sweetheart Alena. I just got the Neos.....needless to say I am quite discouraged....now a bit better, thank you!

[@ColoringwithAlena]

I'm glad that it was helpful! Believe me my first several neocolor backgrounds also were very disappointing

[@alealovescolors]

Thank you for your useful tutorial Alena ! You're so nice to share your tips with us !!

[@myliveincolor4211]

Thank you for this video. I'm starting to work with neocolor and this is great advise your sharing. ❤️

[@Yohina1989]

That's a crazy beautiful picture! You're so talented. And thank you for the tips!

[@ColoringwithAlena]

Thank you! I hope that my experience with Neocolors will be helpful for you

[@debbien.3315]

Thank you! Your advice is all very helpful and I love how your picture turned out.

[@roninboxers]

Great tips, and you explain it all beautifully.

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Such a gorgeous page! Thanks so much for the great tutorial! 🤗🌸💖

[@hiddentreasures5676]

Totally love this finished page.

[@alisamartin1437]

Perfect timing. I purchased a few Neo colour 2 crayons recently and tried them out. I love the way they dissolved, however I didn't get the look I wanted as now I know I put the colour on too lightly. Thank you so much for your help.

[@BeautifulColorsYoutube]

this really helped me I just used them in a hanna karlzon page and couldn't figure out why it looked horrible, and this video definitely helped im gonna do another page tomorrow to do it differently to see if it will be better. thanks for the tips

[@ColoringwithAlena]

I'm so happy to hear that it was helpful! My first neocolor background also weren't nice looking, LOL. I tended to use too much water and hard small waterbrush.

[@BeautifulColorsYoutube]

@@ColoringwithAlena I have those water holding brushes from amazon, and I make sure to use lots of pigment, but it seems streaky and splotchy

[@Lisecouleur]

Never mind! I see you indicated the brushes you recommended to a follower below, so I used the links you provided and bought both brushes. Thank you so much for this video. It was super helpful, especially the part about trying it out on a picture you don’t care for because I would have gone straight to my Kerby books. I definitely don’t want to ruin them!😍👍🏻💖💘💝🇨🇦

[@ColoringwithAlena]

When I just got Neocolors I tried to use my waterbrush with them, and the result was terrible. I realized that it was too hard for them and that regular, softer brush would be better. So now I use those brushes from Jackson's, synthetic fake squirrel, size selection depends from the area I need to cover with water. And be careful with Kerby books! In my Fragile Word watercolor paints work amazing, and in Wodls Winthin.. (from the different publisher) watercolors ruined my page (((

[@Lisecouleur]

Thanks for the heads up! I was under the impression that all Kerby books could take on water mediums!🥰😘

[@ColoringwithAlena]

@@Lisecouleur I also was delusional about his books (( My Fragile world is by LOM Art, and World within is by Plume

[@pamceecee]

Thank you so very much! This is very timely as I just got a set and tried it for the first time tonight (before I watched your video - lol). 🤗🌸🤗🌸🤗

[@ColoringwithAlena]

I'm sure that you will enjoy your new set! The best thing to get used to Neocolors is to experiment more - try various brushes, mix colors, and you will start to feel them better

[@pamceecee]

Coloring with Alena Thanks for the tips! 🥰

[@ellym279]

Thank you. I appreciate your teaching.

[@TheRindyrae]

Thank you so much for this video I have a small set of 15 Neo color and just recently my orange Neo broke right in half. I was so surprised. I have been using a water brush but I think too much water comes out. So I am going to change to a brush like you use.

[@Cendrillon-5962]

Merci! Joli le colo

[@edytau6193]

Amazingly helpful video! Huge thank you!

[@beverleysharp7397]

So so helpful Alena, I think my problem is that I don’t put enough pigment down to start with. I must be more brave with my neos! 😁 A very beautiful finish 😘 xx

[@KissMyKrafts]

Thank you so much for this wonderful advice. I have the ten count package of neocolor 2s and even watching so many videos I couldn't really get them to work for me. I came upon your video and now I want to get them out and keep practicing.

[@mary-joromero8821]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips!!!

[@delphinerabany1753]

Thank you!!

[@tativega3934]

I love this. Thank you! I know you rave about that brush from Jackson's. Which one is it, specifically? Going to be placing an order for some new pastel white nights soon. ❤️

[@ColoringwithAlena]

This one - Brush Jackson's : Icon : Sable Synthetic Mix Quill No.10/0 goo.gl/19fTur and I also love big quill brush from this set for watercolor backgrounds Jackson's Icon Brush Set goo.gl/V7MV8N

[@tativega3934]

@@ColoringwithAlena thank you so so so much! I'll be getting one very soon. ❤️

[@Lisecouleur]

What is the name of the paint brush you use for your Neocolor? It is not indicated in the description box. I also shop at Jackson Art for my art supplies so it's perfect for me to purchase your brush. I have recently purchased Neocolors II but I have yet to purchase a brush for it. I’m trying to find the best one!👏🏻👍🏻😍😘💘💝💖🇨🇦

[@LisasColoringCorner]

That is stunning. How did you do the circles in the background?

[@ColoringwithAlena]

I simply drew them with white Neocolor II crayon.... and then for couple of circles I also added pink Neo II crayon in the center to match color of dahlias

[@LisasColoringCorner]

@@ColoringwithAlena and diluted them with water then?

[@ColoringwithAlena]

@@LisasColoringCorner No, no! For the circles I used Neo II as regular crayon, without adding water. It's the same as drawing them with regular white pencil, but with Neocolors shape of circles look a little bit softer...

[@LisasColoringCorner]

@@ColoringwithAlena oh ok. Thank you. 😊

[@alicecagle1983]

Beautiful! I love your videos as I am a new colorist. What did you do to make the circles in the top of background?

[@ColoringwithAlena]

I simply draw them with white pencil and white Neoclor II crayon

[@blankmission5369]

At 24:19 what type of white paint are you using? Is it watercolor, acrylic, or a wash? And what brand? Thanks.

[@ColoringwithAlena]

I used gouache paint, color Titanium White, manufacturer - Russian brand 'White Nights'

[@lisawik7234]

What kind of paint are you using on the tips of the flowers? Is it acrylic?

[@ColoringwithAlena]

Yes, it's acrylic Titanium White. You can use gouache paint also , but I prefer acrylic because it becomes permanent after drying so if needed I was able to use watercolors on top of it

[@owllovingapril]

I have issued with water staining on the opposite side where I use them with water. Do you prep your pages?

[@ColoringwithAlena]

No, I didn't have any issues with bleeding through in the books with good paper like H.Karlzon or M.Trolle or J.Basford, so I don't use any gesso to prepare pages. The only bleeding through problems I had in the books with thin paper of Selina fenech and in English edition of Tamoko Tashiro books

Есть это видео на русском языке?

[@викториязайка]

Зачем делать видео на английском языке и запускать его в русскоязычном пространстве??? Это не уважительно и не красиво по отношению к русскоязычным людям!!! Вы работаете как то на две стороны, то по-русски видео выходят, то по-английски. Вы уж опредилитесь как-нибудь на кого Вы работаете??? На россиян или на американцев?!

[@ColoringwithAlena]

Я работаю не на россиян и не на американцев, а на себя ))))))))) Неуважительно и некрасиво предъявлять какие-то претензии к бесплатному контенту, вместо того, чтобы просто перейти к более подходящим Вам видео.
