Maias Coloring Updates!: Episode #16 - Adult Coloring Channel

[@colouringchemist]

I didn't know you homeschool your kids! I homeschooled my daughter from 2nd through 12th grade and I now teach chemistry online to other homeschoolers - I loved homeschooling. :) Love your updates!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Oh wow !!! That is so cool to hear !!! Wow that is awesome !! How was homeschooling for hight school ? Ill have to remember that and then pester you for tips and advice later on in my journey lol ! Thanks so much for watching and commenting ! Have a great week !

[@colouringchemist]

@@coloredbymaia6476 I'm happy to chat anytime about homeschooling! :) For high school, I outsourced quite a few courses that I felt I wasn't up to teaching (like high school literature - I wouldn't have the first clue how to teach Shakespeare or poetry :)). We loved the homeschooling journey, though!

[@DanahsColoringObsession]

Love these Maia! I hope moving goes as easily and non-stressful as possible! Thank goodness you have some time! Moving (although exciting) is the worst! lol

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Danah ! Thank you so much ! Yes moving is quite a headache but at least the great thing about moving is that its forcing me to purge and reorganize and declutter which i really really need !! Haha , have a great week

[@BoBeanieCreates]

Hi Maia, I absolutely loved this video! It was great to see your dad featured. His artwork is amazing, and it’s so fun that he’s coloring! I love that you grew up being exposed to art. Love your WIPs, and I’m just starting to cut loose in “WIP-land” and appreciate how you can build upon many pages at once. Thanks for exposing me to that in a legitimate way, not just abandoning pages, which is what I was afraid of. I hope that makes sense. Appreciate you so much, my sweet friend! ❤

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Yes it makes sense !! Glad you are enjoying the new found freedom !!! After all at the end of the day this is about relaxing and having fun xoxxoo

[@ColouringwithK]

Aww thank you so much for the mention Maia, like I said before you are an inspiration and I love how you colour and experiment too. I am grateful for the colouring updates video idea and I hope to keep up with that on a monthly basis. It’s amazing that your dad did some colouring too, the picture was coming on wonderfully.Also, I’m hoping to move in the coming months, I can’t wait to have a craft/art room! Take care xx

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Oh yes i know you were mentioning that you wanted to buy a house , i hope you are able to move soon and finally have a craft-room you deserve !! Its definitely a dream come true , i also am now trying to curb my spending and buying so hopefully we can encourage each-other there too ! Take care and have a wonderful weekend xoxo

[@colourandcolllagewithems]

Hi Maia I love that your Dad coloured with you :) My Dad doesn't colour with me but recently my parents went on a Holiday to the US... he bought me home 4 colouring books as a surprise, I actually cried ,I thought it was so thoughtful. Sometimes I don't think they are interested in my colouring but it is so nice to know they support what I do. I love your updates!! ❤

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Omg how incredibly thoughtful!! Id probably shed a tear too! Yes i treasure any time with my parents however limited, they live in another state now so winter break has become a great opportunity to spend time with them. Obviously your parents are taking notice of your passion and enjoyment and honoring that , its so great

[@Thecoloringhermit]

So awesome that other big channels are crediting you for inspiration 😀 🙌 You are pretty dang awesome and very inspiring to me as well! So very cool that your dad is coloring 😀 I hope that there is a buddy color in the future. I have put a few things in my cart as always😅 it is always dun to see your process! Continued luck with your move and crafty room set up!! Happy coloring, my fun friend 😃

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Thank you my dear !! I think i will be starting a low buy period coming up soon !! Wish me luck with that ! So glad you liked the video !

[@saral6978]

Thank you, Maia! I love your update videos! Glad you get your art/craft room sooner thaqn latwr in your new home! Loved learning about your parents and seeing your dad coloring! He's a very talented artist! 😊. Have a great weekend!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Sara ! Thank you so much ! So glad you liked the video, and have a wonderful week ahead !

[@ColourWithKami]

Hi Maia! Another amazing episode. You are truly inspiring. Your dad’s art works is also beautiful, would love to see more if that would be possible. Wonderful wips, can’t wait to see your completed pages 💜

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Kami !!! Thank you so much dear ! And yes of coarse ill show more of my dads artwork in my next updates. Have a wonderful week !

[@madelineelliott5002]

I love that you can share coloring with your dad! It was something my mom really enjoyed and I’m sad to say its something I didn’t get into until after she passed.

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Awww so sorry for your loss, its great that at least you are following her footsteps .

[@tanyatalks513]

I think these videos are so helpful & I'm really learning alot! The finished pages are always so gorgeous but it's hard for me to comprehend all the different steps & supplies you use & how you use them! These videos really end up teaching me alot because I get to see your process & your work at all different stages. Even the little snippets are so helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Oh wow im so happy to hear that !!! Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback ! And thanks for watching and commenting. Happy coloring to you hun

[@neecywatson8250]

I ❤️your Dad’s Art!!!! And him doing a color page. Let us know what his thoughts were doing it. Was it relaxing, therapeutic etc because painting in my opinion is more free flow and detail attention is not as strict is what I found between the two. Coloring a page is more therapeutic for me. Love seeing your videos!!!!!❤️I tried your statin glaze, it was great for my page. Thanks!☺️

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Neecy !!! Of coarse i will definitely ask him and let you guys know, and ill ask him to send a picture of his progress. He definitely said that painting is no where near as detailed ! I also can paint and have painted on canvas and yet i enjoy coloring much more! Have a great weekend dear !

[@coloringwithpatwilson1506]

Hi Maia, I love your updates, it's an awesome idea. Heading to K's and Amberlie's to see theirs. Have fun organizing that new craft room lol, the struggle is real. tfs

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Lol totally !! Haha. Thank you so so much dear ! Have an awesome week

[@bethbrady8146]

Thank you so very much!1 really enjoy the updates and how you use you supplies. I did go on ebay and managed to get all 3 Wonderland books that I saw on one of your halls! They are coming next week!!! Loved seeing you dad coloring and his art is delightful!!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Beth !! Wow awesome hope you enjoy the books !! Was it the alice in wonderland type books or the winter wonderland books ? So glad you liked the video ! Thanks for watching and commenting ! Have an awesome week !!

[@joannenewman5367]

thanks for the update. love that you show what you are doing with the actual product. I have lots of prima sets too. I may separate the colors too. So cool to see your dad color! no wonder you are so artistic with both parents doing art. Your dad's art is beautiful. your new craft room looks like its going to be awesome. I love colouring with K and Dede too.

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Joanne ! So glad you liked the video ! Thanks so much for the encouraging feedback !

[@doodlerobot42]

OMG!!! 😮😮😮 Your dad's paintings are amazing!!! And isn't he soooo 🥰 cute. Lol. Your use of oil pastel is beginning to intrigue me. 🤔. Still not sure yet... Must touch with fingers 🤔 though.?? I know, I know - but clay is different!!! 👍🤍🖖👽

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Lol its awesome, just use a makeup wipe after and in between colors, i always wanted to try clay

[@anotherlittlepieceofmyart]

Maia! Moving is so exhausting 😮 I'm tired just remembering it! Congrats on your format being loved and shared, you have great ideas 🎉 I need to go to Ross!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Lol Mary! Thanks so much dear! Yes. Moving is exhausting! But im also trying to declutter and purge so at least it gives me the opportunity to take inventory on everything we own haha, hope your travels go well ! Xo

[@bfamiliar9011]

Hi Maia! Awesome content as always. Thank you for sharing your artistic talent! I really enjoy and appreciate all of the unique content on your channel. I hope that your wrist feels better real soon and that the move to your new home went well! Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to future content ! Have a great weekend!🎨

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Wow thank you so so much for your wonderful and encouraging comments !! So very appreciated hun ! Have a wonderful weekend hopefully full of coloring !

[@jessicabaca5186]

I always go to Ross and do a bee line right to the art supplies, and yeah, maybe a quarter of the time you can find great name brand buys. Anyway, I always look forward to all your wonderful videos and positivity ❤

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Jessica !! Thank you so much !!!

[@Michellecolours]

I love to see how you work, I have started working in a similar way in my colouring books, doing a bit of one page and then a bit of another page and am enjoying it, thanks for the tip!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Michelle ! Love that ! So glad you are liking this new way of coloring !! Thank you so much for the kind words too !

[@FloralHeart]

Moving sounds exciting to me, new studio, new energies, love it. It was nice to see your dad coloring the gifted book and he's paintings on the wall. You helped me to realize that's okay to have wip pages and now I have a few. You're a good hunter, those Arteza markers was a find. I've been creating some journals and binding a few books lately, I must transform the piles of pretty papers in something useful. But I'm already missing my pencils ! Thank you Maia, I appreciate you.💞

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Omg i had a long book binding phase too , now i like making grundy messy mixed media journals, i have second channel for it that i haven’t developed very much but its called craftedbymaia lol, if you’re on Ig send me some photos of the books you are working on. Ya whats exciting about moving is its an opportunity to declutter and reorganize your craft-space to better fit your needs. Thank you for the kind words it really makes my day

[@latenightcoloringmama]

I love that your dad is coloring! You both do amazing! I always love your videos when i get the chance to watch them! Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed hearing your updates!🥰

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Thanks dear! I know what u mean, i try to catch up with watching videos too whenever i can lol

[@bracita15]

Of course, now I need to see a picture of your Dad’s completed page 😏❤ I went to Marshall’s this part Christmas. I was in the checkout line which was taking forever - late December shopping for my sister. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I looked down and saw this huge box of markers in a plastic carrying case. The set turned out to be a Kingart Pro Double-ended Alcohol markers. When I picked them up, I thought they were water markers. The Kingart website carried them for $119.00, plus tax, and shipping. That’s $128.82 with tax. No idea how much shipping would be. The set at Marshall’s was $49.99. I walked out without it because I’d never spent that much money on ONE item for my coloring. When I got to the car, I told my sister about it. I also checked online to see how much of a deal I just walked out on. My sister was like “go back and get them because they won’t be there the next time you go look for them.” Dude, she was right! I saw 2 separate sets of these markers when I was in line. When I went back in, I got one set, and a family with an 8 year old bought the other box. So just like that, the store was out of them! They have a chisel tip on one side and a bullet nib on the other. They color beautifully! ❤ I never even considered checking this store (or Ross) for art supplies! 😱 I’m sure that T.J. Max must have some good stuff too. 😏

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Wow major score on the alcohol markers ! Kingart is a great quality company, i love their gel pens too. Oh yes haha ill definitely show my dads finished page or at least his progress

[@anna_neshytaya]

Hi Maia! Thank you for sharing your little coloring processes and your dad's art and coloring. So beautiful!😍

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Anna !!! Thank you so much for stopping by !!! I love your channel and all your wonderful completed pages too

[@lambgamcolorjam5456]

That is soooo sweet watching your dad color. 🥰 As always, I love and get so excited when I see a notification pop up for your channel. Thanks for sharing everything!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Wow thank you so much !! That really makes my day ! Happy coloring to you dear !

[@janeling5897]

Maia!!! Another fabulous video. Love all your wips, you’re so talented. Your dad is so sweet, sitting there colouring with you. Love from your friend in the UK 😊

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Thank you so much dear ! Happy coloring to you

[@jsscraphappy]

Thank you for sharing yours dad’s art and coloring! It’s wonderful! Nice pictures you are working on and your new craft room looks great! Thanks

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Awww thank you so much jessica !! So glad you liked the video !

[@sherrydennewitz5011]

Hi Maia! Thank You for Sharing Your Dad, Coloring. That was so much Fun, if possible, I would love to see his finished picture. Your WIP'S are all very beautiful and I can't wait to see them too. The floors in your new craft room are Amazing! Thank You for Sharing, Have a Wonderful Weekend!💜💜

Thank You, Maia! Enjoy your weekend!💜💜

[@louisepeers782]

Great video Maia , your dad’s colouring looks sooo good ! 😊

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Thanks so much 😊louise !

[@lindaverkade438]

Hi Maia! Your dad did a great job! I love to see the finished picture! My brain doesn’t like wip’s, but the result is that when i’m stuck with a page i don’t color except mandalas and colour by number pages, so stupid!

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Linda !! Its not stupid at all! after all coloring is about relaxation so whatever relaxes you is time well spent ! Lol , and yes i will definitely show my dads completed page as soon as i can

[@colouringwithamy]

I have the arteza everblend ultra alcohol markers and love them but the website in the UK seems to never have them in stock 😢

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Oh really ? Yes arteza is funny like that , i remember when their glitter gel pens were out of stock many times and for long periods too !

[@Ninjamom_colours]

Hi Maia! What was the name of that German book with the wonderful trees? I couldn’t quite make out what you said! I heard “exoticshare vernwold” LOL. Love your updates :)

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Hun !! Its called Exotischer Urwald, i got mine on ebay but i think there are some copies left on Amazon as well ! Good luck finding it ! And thank you so much for the kind words

[@Ninjamom_colours]

@@coloredbymaia6476 thank you! On the hunt for it now :)

[@diamondslashranch]

Moving is so very hard. I’m never doing it again if I have to leave here I’m just starting over from scratch😂😂

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Lol i totally understand ! At least it gives me an opportunity to purge a lot !! Which i really need to do , i have hoarding tendencies ! Especially when i comes to craft supplies

[@gagaforgluing8247]

Great video as always. It was lovely to see your dad colouring. Those Arteza markers look gorgeous. Can't find the waterbased Ever blends in the UK, only the alcohol ones. Just so you know i sent you a message on Instagram 5 or 6 days ago to let you know about a colouring book thats coming out that i think you'll want. It will only let me send you 1 message though because we haven't spoken on there before. But as soon as you reply i can send you a picture of the book ❤

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Hi Trudy !! Omg thanks for letting me know !! I will go check my messages asap !! Im horrible with instagram i forget about the message requests and Instagram doesn’t alert you properly, they are so hidden! Ya the everblend water ones are not readily available here too, i really had to dig online to find any, i have a feeling they are being discontinued. Ooo cant wait to hear about the book

[@gagaforgluing8247]

@@coloredbymaia6476 for some reason I still can't talk to you on Instagram. It says you need to accept my invitation or something. Not quite sure what it means

[@amandacolours]

So fun to see your dad enjoying colouring! Very cool! I’ve also sent you a DM over on Instagram 💕

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Thanks Amanda ! Thanks for letting me know ! Im horrible with IG, just wrote you back !
