[@TheArtSpirits]

Thank you very much Stacey :-)

[@LittleBrightLittleMoody]

You have a lovely collection, and you are a very talented artist. :) I love your color technique!

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh thank you very much Kelsie :-)

[@2010shatha]

I really liked the cat with golden trims. Gorgeous collection and work.

[@barbarahiscox9511]

Hi Rebecca,Oh I enjoyed that video,you're colouring I think is pretty amazing,there's quite a few videos I've missed so I will have to search them out.You got a lovely selection of books,I may beat you on numbers,but not on what I call really good books ,think I've got about ten really nice ones ,Bloomstermandala, and Joanna Basfords the favourites.I was taken by Jasmine Becket Griffen books,I normally stay clear of Halloweeny type books ,but really liked the look of them humm!!! Got My Beasties Blooming Beasties book ,although a lover of the stamps ,found the images a bit large,some cute some not so! I love the way you speak Rebecca ,you're so down to earth and say things how they are,especially when books are full of crap,just love it lol! Good point about Secret Garden turning yellowy,I know they were printed on a creamier paper unlike Magical Jungle,but I'm sure they've turned more yellowy since I bought them ,only 3 months ago,bit off putting,looking forwards to her xmas book though,ar should be arriving this week sometime.Well keep the tutorials coming as I've already learnt alot,ahh how to sharpen a pencil for one ,alternating between the large hole then the small hole on the pencil sharpener,what a difference.

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh thanks Barbara you always fill me full of confidence :-) Yes I forgot to say in the video that the Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest were already printed on cream paper but they have definitely yellowed even more. Have you seen a flick through video of her Christmas Book? Chris Cheng (I love chris cheng's colourings) has just put a full flick through video of it, showing every page. I was a bit shocked to see that a lot of the pages are repeated over and over but I'm sure I'll still be getting it lol.

[@mirandamccathern4467]

Your work is stunning. You are so talented!!

[@faithfullmess]

Thank you for sharing! I would love to see a video of your favorite book and your least favorite book and color a page in each. I have a least favorite coloring book and sometimes I feel bad about not coloring in it. 😂 anyway, love your videos- Faith

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh I definitely have a least favourite book lol. That's a great idea Faith, I'm always looking for new video idea's. Thank you :-)

[@bobbig.777]

Hi. I have just found your channel and I am in love!!! Your accent is so pleasant to listen to. Then as you are going thru your coloring books, one of the last... where the girl is next to a pond I totally love that you made the frog or toad in pinks!!! Your talent is stunning. As you say at the start that you were so embarrassed your 1st couple videos. I need to find your name so we can chat. I am Bobbi in Texas USA. I am thinking you are in the UK? These colorings have shown how much you have learned because the one with the pink toad is sooo beautiful... Yay You!!! Thanx for showing such lovely books as well. I had no idea these were out. So I am off to Barnes & Noble book store tomorrow. Again thanx and I am going to watch your videos from start to present so I can learn some of your techniques. Bye for now!!!

[@TheArtSpirits]

Hi Bobbi, thank you so much for your lovely comments. My name is Rebecca and yes, I'm from the UK, Nort West, just underneath Scotland :-) I must admit though, I'm cringing a little thinking about those first few videos I made lol......so embarassing 😨

[@danschmith5957]

I would love to see you do more with the Kerby Rosanes books including the new mythomorphia I think you would do some awesome stuff thanks Tanya 💕

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thanks Tanya :-) I have Mythomorphia on order, so I will probably want to do one of those next :-) I'm hoping it's going to arrive today :-)

[@seanmooney3907]

You color very nicely and your color choices are also very good in my opinion. I think you get bored easily, I say that because you haven't finished most of the pictures you showed. I have the same problem so I recognize it. . I have to make myself finish pictures so I do my books in order and never stray. It works for me. I hadn't thought much about shading so you can see I am not experienced at coloring. All the best, Sean

[@TheArtSpirits]

Haha yes I do have a few unfinished picture's Sean. I'm nowhere near as disciplined as you unfortunately but I am getting better with that since I started recording my progress on video. This kind of makes me finish the pictures so that I can upload it to my KZbin channel :-) Thank you very much for your comment :-)

[@camper14]

Really likes the brown hair girl leaning over I think flowers , her hair was really good.

[@suewilkinson910]

My second colouring book was the same as your first. It's pretty poor paper for pencils but water based brush markers work quite well in it. I keep it in my desk at work.

[@TheArtSpirits]

That's good to know Sue, thanks. I might try some of those out :-)

[@crazyforcoloring]

That's a lovely collection you've got there. I watched this smiling because I have quite a few of them myself. And while watching, I was coloring a page from Jasmine Becket-Griffith's Halloween one. :) And I love how you work with watercolors. I can't quite figure out how to make them look so nice. Or it's just not my medium...

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thanks very much. The thing with watercolour is that it's difficult to use 'but only at first'. After a few attempts it gets easier and once you get used to it, it's a lot of fun.

[@crazyforcoloring]

I hope so. :) I will keep trying.

[@CrazyLady68]

I have all the millie marlotta books and I love them gel pens work great in them too

[@potterscottagecrafts407]

Hi there, I love the flick through, your very good. can I ask you where you got the 'what's in the water, woods and garden' colouring books from please?

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thank you very much. I got them in a garden center called Dobbies in Carlisle UK. If you are in the USA, they are available on Amazon US :-)

[@jellyjam-xg8hk]

How do you color so well? You're amazing!! I've had an obsession with coloring books since i was very little, So it made me very happy to see this video! :D

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh thank you very much :-) I just keep practising and I've done quite a bit of studying books and videos on painting and drawing :-)

[@jellyjam-xg8hk]

The Art Spirits Oh well you're amazing at it! :D

[@barbarahiscox9511]

Yeah I've seen a couple of flick through of Joannas xmas book ,but not Chris Chengs, so will look out for that, she is an amazing colourist.I didn't notice some of the pages repeated,hum a bit naughty,but I ordered mine August,so expecting it this week!Just been doing a bit of colouring in one of Creative Havens Winter scenes, quite pretty,but you don't feel intimated by them ,just have fun colouring.Sadly got to go as there's a dog wanting to go for walkabout!!You're more than welcome for good comments ,they're well deserved. Take care look forwards to more tutorials!

[@TheArtSpirits]

Got mine ordered now :-) It should be arriving tomorrow. I'm definitely fancying a few of those creative haven books. I liked the winter scenes one too and will probably get it along with a couple of others.

[@barbarahiscox9511]

The Art Spirits

[@fionapyle9403]

Did the fine liners bleed through when you coloured the seahorse. I was just wondering as I was thinking about buying some. Thanks so much.

[@TheArtSpirits]

Hi Fiona, no they don't bleed through so long as you don't saturate the paper with lots of ink. If you keep going over the same bit while still wet, it would eventually seep through.

[@yusra2307]

I really like your collection. I a collection to 😍😍

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thank you Yusra :-)

[@thegoodlife6061]

You are correct on the serious of some artist that takes the finished coloring to a higher level with ceramic and raw materials. I just use art markers and gel pens. My acb collection; Doll House, Paris City Streets, Zen Doodle, Wonderful Fable Tales, 3&1 scenery book, Island Escapes, Mysterious Library, World Travel. I try to choose acb that will work with art markers which the paper is medium weight but I do place a piece of paper behind it to make sure there is no bleed thru. Also, I select certain acb from Japan and Korea up coming artist, small to large lines and certain themes. great video

[@TheArtSpirits]

Yes, I've seen some of those Japanese coloring books and they are very beautiful. They are difficult to get hold of in the UK though unfortunately. Thanks for your comment :-)

[@americangirllover40]

I would love to see a full flip through of Alice's adventures in wonderland! I absolutely adore the page you colored in that book already and I'd love to see more of what the book has. Great collection!

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thanks very much. No problem, I will put it on my list of video's and it should be up within the next couple of weeks :-) It's a gorgeous book.

[@youbmine]

Hi! I just found your channel and am so enjoying your videos. I can't find any place to purchase Your Own Nature Colouring Book. I live in the US and googled for these with no luck. I wondered where you got these? Thanks so much! Elizabeth

[@TheArtSpirits]

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your lovely comments :-) I think they are available on Amazon US. If you search for 'whats in the garden' you should be able to find them :-)

[@gillboyes7345]

you have done some lovely pictures. I have just stated and am just using gel and felt pens at the moment and doing solid colours. I havent learned any shading techniques or how to do skin tones. did you just learn from tutorials? Have you got any advise what i can watch to get started?

[@TheArtSpirits]

Hi Gill, I didn't learn how to shade from video tutorials. I do learn from video tutorials all the time but for the light and shade principle, I used books. I think the best book, that I absolutely love and would highly recommend is 'Color and Light' by James Gurney I'm still pretty new to skin tones. Still learning myself but most of what I know about shading on the face is from a KZbinr called Istebrak. Her videos are very technical but amazing for anybody who wants to get really technical with shading correctly. Hope this helps😃

[@gillboyes7345]

Thanks, I will look at Istebrak and thanks for your advice and a great video

[@parsleybrain]

Hi Rebecca, just wanted to add that Good Wives and Warriors are two young scottish artists. They had or have a studio in Berlin, Germany, for some time, but are working all over the world meantime.

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh lovely, thanks for that :-)

[@traceyramos2519]

You color so pretty

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thanks very much :-)

[@scruffy281]

You are dead on about that Alderney Coloring Book.I have never and would never criticize a persons art but that is not what that coloring book contains and the person who put that on the market should be ashamed of themselves. Unless it is an art form that deals with some sort of PSYCHOLOGICAL experiment!.😂 I agree with your assessment. But don't feel bad, I have bought coloring books a few times based on the merit of what is drawn on the cover. I receive it in the mail, open it up and go WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!!!😂 So funny , and what is even more funny is I will probably do it many more times!! We get so many really beautiful coloring books in between those duds so it makes up for it right? Thanks again for all the joy and fun your channel brings..........so appreciated. And most of all , thanks for taking us on your journey of discovery in art. There are so many times I think I am going to reach out and try some technique or something because I watched you attempt it (and succeed) on your channel. Your channel is a shot of courage for me and for many more I suspect! Lots of Love from Texas!!❤️

[@TheArtSpirits]

Hi Debbie, thanks for your lovely comments. Yes, you are totally right, we will occasionally get the odd dud, that's just life I suppose, funny though. Makes you wonder what they were thinking selling that, lol.

[@quiltingjen]

Alderney is one of the Channel Islands hence the references to the sea etc. Hope that helps.

[@evishe7352]

Hur många böcker har du sammanlagt? :) fint du målar:).. Hur ofta köper du målarböcker? Jagg målar och samlar med.

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

I hope you do some from Magical Christmas on your channel! And Magical City!

[@TheArtSpirits]

I will try Patricia. So many book, so little time, lol.

[@arttherapielostinmybook1371]

bonjour c'est une belle collection:'**)/

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thank you :-)

[@suewilkinson910]

You go through a book called "What's in the Garden". Who is that by please? And where did you get it? I think that might be a good one for Mum for Christmas but I can't seem to find it on Amazon.

[@TheArtSpirits]

Hi Sue, I got mine at a Dobbies garden center in Carlisle. If you are in the UK, I this is the only place that I can find that sells them. There are lots of Dobbies dotted around the country though, so maybe there's one near you. If you live in the USA, then they are available on eBay US and Amazon US.

[@suewilkinson910]

Hi. Thanks. Yes, I'm UK and there is a Dobbies near me so I can have a look there. Although I'm no longer so sure. I sacrificed my Johanna's Christmas which I'd had on pre-order from Amazon. I wrapped it for Mum's birthday thinking she would like it because she loves Christmas and is laid up at the moment. But she didn't seem that impressed. Seems to prefer the cheap and nasty free pull-out from some magazine or other that she's got.

[@TheArtSpirits]

Haha, that's so funny. I'd take it back if I were you lol. I bought my neice and my sister a colouring book each last Christmas and neither of them were interested. My neice (she's 14) actually gave me it back a couple of months ago coz she's says she's never gonna use it.

[@nfreegree58]

I had the same thing with my books they ternd so yellow I thought that it had happened only to me I don't think it is possible to color in it any more right ?

[@TheArtSpirits]

I think you can still colour in them but that yellow colour is just a bit off putting :-)

[@stephaniemercedes7968]

Sooo beautiful!!

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thanks very much :-) I'm from the north of England, just over the water from Ireland so maybe I could sound a little Irish to people from further afield. Sometimes people think I'm Scottish too as I live just underneath Scotland :-)

[@gailhart2453]

what sort of metallic paint do you use?

[@TheArtSpirits]

I use the Finetec Pearls Calligraphy which are waterbased and work just like watercolour paint.

[@gailhart2453]

thank you

[@traceyramos2519]

I also have a large coloring book collection

[@TheArtSpirits]

Another Colouring Book addict lol :-)

[@scruffy281]

[@jent9076]

[@dumitruflorin4101]

[@inklinggirlsplatoon4553]

I Love Your Collection 😍😍😍 Can U Please Do A Giveaway 😘😘😘

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh thanks very much. I probably will do a giveaway if I manage to eventually accumulate a large following :-)

[@inklinggirlsplatoon4553]

The Art Spirits Thank You So Much For Making Amazing Videos I Love Your Voice

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh thank you lol.

[@rashmi5039]

If you like colouring in streets you should get Romantic country.

[@TheArtSpirits]

I definitely want to get that book, it's on my wish list. I'm waiting for the 3rd book to be released here in the UK and I'm going to order all 3 together :-)

[@fionapyle9403]

Just a thought maybe the page in the Alderney book was a picture of an open book and you could illustrate it yourself. Bye for now.

[@TheArtSpirits]

Oh yes maybe it could have been lol.

[@scruffy281]

P.S. What started your art journey? I mean have you always been interested in it or did you come upon it after childhood? Just curious. For me, Loved it as a child, got away from it for too many years to count, and decided to dive into it and give it the attention and place that it deserved in my life. When I stop to think about it, I wonder why I wasted soooo much time........

[@TheArtSpirits]

I'm same as you Debbie. Had a small interest as a child, drew a couple of pictures that my dad was super proud of, told me I was good at it (like him, lol) and he actually framed one of my pictures. Then I just never really thought about art after that and I never took art in high school as it was really boring. They had potters wheels that nobody was allowed to touch. I don't ever remember ever painting in an art class. So when it came to picking subjects for our final years, there was no chance I would have picked art. It really bothers me when I think about it. I don't understand why they didn't let us do some fun art stuff to get us interested. So I literally only got into art around 5 years ago and now I too really wish I had started long ago, what a waste of time 🙄🙄🎨🙄

[@coloringkids2136]

Amazing!!! I just started a channel on coloring, if you have a moment check it out. Have a Great Day!!

[@NessysSanctuary]

i would have been very pi........ed off if i had paid 7 pounds for Alderney colouring book i would have felt the same way you did ripped off............

[@TheArtSpirits]

Thanks :-) I don't think anybody would buy this if they saw it in a shop. It's a bit risky ordering these coloring books from Amazon as some of them turn out like this.
