Worlds of Wonder | Johanna Basford | Sweet Little Cottage | Colour Along

[@ladyhecate9450]

I just happily discovered you and am I GLAD I did. I just started coloring this page. I have taken many tutorials from different people. There style of presentation that you provide outdone ALL tutorials I have done to date. Some do not provide the colors. Some of them are on speed mode, some of them provide the colors they use but skips a few steps in coloring a particular scene and you do not get to see them work with colors. It just fades in, leaving you to figure out how they got there. Your way of coloring is excellent. You fly by other instructors with flying colors. (No pun intended). Thank you so much for understanding what the not so experienced colorist really wants. Simply wonderful. Your coloring is beautiful, and with your showing literally step-by-step and providing the number and name of pencil you use. That is so very nice of you. I will be doing a lot more tuts of yours. Thank you.

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi 👋🏼 and welcome! Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I really appreciate it 🤍🤍

[@nicolalubbe1026]

Not only am I completely and utterly impressed with your colouring skills, but I am impressed with the length of your video. So many people do the speeded up version which I hate. I get to spend more than 3 hours with you and just adore it 👏👏👏👏

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Oh thank you. Although my videos are sped up 🙈 not much though, just enough so I don’t run out of space on my phone when uploading. ❤️❤️

[@liselevy]

This is a big wow!

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Prismacolor should sponsor you and show your videos on their website. This is a perfect demonstration of how beautifully these pencils blend. Even when you put down some fairly harsh lines, you're able to go over it with other colors and just blend things together nice and smoothly. You're an amazing colorist who very clearly knows how to use your pencils! Bravo!

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Oh haha I wish! The amount of these pencils I go through 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Thank you 💕💕

[@colleendeloach6484]

I have started this page in my very first Johanna Basford book. 🎉 You’re the best I’ve found to explain blending. YAY! I have the Castle Art large set, so I’m using the conversion chart. I have a few Prisma, but I seem to work better with CA. I do not have a visionary brain, therefore I’d love to see more color combos done with Castle Art. 😊 Thank you for teaching me. ❤

[@maryalicesmith2626]

Can anyone tell me why watching this is so satisfying and calming to my poor ADHD-riddled brain? One might think it would be boring, but I’m glued to the screen. I don’t want to miss a minute. The only problem? I want to have all the books and colors and be as good as she is RIGHT NOW! That’s impossible, and even if I had all the materials, they would sit unused for a very long time while I watched more videos and studied. It’s very hard to begin a project. However, coloring is something I’ve always wanted to learn. I think it would be a great fun and satisfying obsession. Thank you for making these videos. There’s no telling how many lives you’ve saved. My own being at least one!

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Oh thank you for such a lovely comment. I’m so happy you find the videos calming. I started colouring to help calm my anxiety and I think watching videos about our hobbies can be just as satisfying as actually doing the thing 😁

[@melissascoloringandmulti-taski]

Hi Cheryl, I probably wouldn’t get much colouring done if I was talking 😆 I don’t think there’s any right or wrong speed to colour although I would like to be quicker so I could get more done lol My videos are long so I commend you for watching it all the way through. Thank you for the support ❤️

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi 👋🏼 I think just keep practicing, look at reference photos if you want a realistic look which will help you work out where to shade and what colours to use. Use a minimum of three colours for each section - a dark, medium and light tone this will add depth and shade 😁

[@marygagliardi5315]

Are you willing to say what kind of pencil sharpener you use? I like the smaller point but yet the tip is nice and pointy

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Of course, I mostly use a t’gaal sharpener on number 1 for prismas. The point is nice and small but sharp which helps prevent breakage 😁

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Which are the best colouring pencils for Johanna Bashford books prismacolor or Polychromos ( I didn't not see you from Australia I am from Auckland my Daughter lives in Melbourne.)

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi Leonie 👋 both prismas and polys work well in Johanna's books. I guess it's just a matter of preference, wax over oil, colour selection etc

Do you use a blender pencil???...and do you press lightly?

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi Catalina, no blender pencils. When I do a straight blend I use hard pressure and burnish from dark to light (I have an old video on how I blend). If I’m layering then I will use soft pressure until the last colour which I’ll use to burnish. Hope that helps 😊

You provide no written pallet at the side so your viewers, who are colouring along, are prepared with everything before they start. I know of only one KZbinr who does this and Julie has done it for years. Most considerate!

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

I do this in my recent videos after some kind requests. But the beauty of this community is everyone is different and has their own way of doing things which will suit different people. Comparison is the thief of joy!

[@stefaniekohman3018]

I enjoyed watching your color along. I usually pick all my colors out and start, I noticed you didn’t list all the colors you were going to be using. Julie Bouve (Julie’s Passion for Color) always lists all the colors below.

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Oh gosh I think I used just about every prismacolor in the box lol

[@NoDontLikeIt]

Well, this isn’t Julie’s channel, and this isn’t Julie, so this person does it their way. We’re all lucky she generously spends her time recording her coloring so that we can follow along, why not just be happy and appreciative that she even does that? You can always pause the video while getting out the next pencil, it’s very easy to do-you can even “rewind” a little.
