Neocolor II Background in Seasons

[@Simmo-hs6wz]

I love your video. I have been looking all day for a autumn background. Thank you dor sharing ❤

[@rosaliefunk1629]

Thank you. That was a good demo on blending backgrounds.

[@cw4608]

Ooh, I am happy for you! I just got the 30 count set and love them already and all I’ve done is swatch! LOL

[@khedr_]

Lovely, thank you.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you too!

[@CLAldridgeArt]

Color me Autumn with Zest (soulds better than green with envy.. LOL)... is there anything as beautiful as a brand new set of 84 Neo's.. LOL. Well, probably Yes, but I can't think of what it would be right now as I'm dazzled by how wonderfully you handle them. Looking forward to watching you work with these some more Karen. Thank you for sharing your techniques with all of us.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you Christine, they are really pretty, I want to color more than backgrounds with them. But for now that will have to do...lol

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

NEO ll pastels are AWESOME!! I have the small set, like what you started with and I LOVE them! That big set is on my holiday wish list... actually, it' s been on my wish list for a while. Yes, they are expensive. But, they are worth every penny!! THANK YOU for the video. I love the back ground you created! It is beautiful!

[@JoAnneMOwens]

I have a ton of books that have been collecting dust for about three years, and a new set of 30 Neos that have never been used. This background sparked an interest in pulling things out again and having a go. Tfs

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Awesome, have fun and take care

[@KatheeRN]

Beautiful Karen.. I have so much fun with the full set of the Neos..I really like this medium a lot

[@CajunSunshineCrafts]

Oh GREAT!! I can't wait to see what magic you make with these beauties! I absolutely love to watch you work! Thank You Karen! 💖💖

[@MandaFandaa]

Hello! I love this collection you have. Just gorgeous. I got the set of 15 about a week ago and used them for the first time tonight. I have no experience with this medium or really any medium. I was told this would be a good start into art journaling. With these being pretty expensive I worry my lack of experience won’t do them justice and I may waste them. But I’m going to try to keep working with them a little at a time. Art supplies can be so intimidating! 😳😂

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Have fun with them, let your inner child out to play... 😊

[@michelinelavoie2086]

Oh! My God, you have 2 trays! Unreal! Good for you!

[@jett8193]

Ooh, that Neocolor II set, lovely! Thx for sharing that background technique too. Looking forward to seeing you work your coloring magic again: )!

[@Colors_in_the_attick]

Hi Karen. Love this video. Is this swatch chart available somewhere? Thank you.

[@catbemis1513]

I just bought these same neocolor 2’s. I haven’t used them yet but now I can’t wait to use them. Thanks for the video. ❤

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Have fun!

[@699jude]

You have convinced me to try harder with my Neocolor II's in colouring books! Maybe I had forgotten the versatility of our most important but underrated colouring tool; the humble finger! I have used it with great success for getting natural smudgy effects in acrylic paint, & you have just shown it is similarly useful with wax crayon! Plus, yes, I should have guessed, the distress ink! You have achieved a wonderful finish Karen; love it.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you so much, have a wonderful day!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I don't use my neocolor2 enough. Been binging how to use them all morning and this was great

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you

[@beckyorstevejohnson7838]

Love it! Never seen the finger tapping technique but it worked great and I will definitely try it. I like the way it blends the colors out better than just using the brush.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you, I learned it from watching AlwaysColoring's video, she was a wonderful Teacher

[@beckyorstevejohnson7838]

ZucchiniKitty oh, now I understand Keni’s reference to Katrine.

[@DQDebra]

I just bought the 30 to try them. I will get this bigger set if I like them, especially if I use them.

[@mouseydeb3245]

Oooooo Neo IIs !! They are so pretty! loved the background. Will have to try this. Thanks!

[@jennifermccall75]

I have the 84 set also, just got it this summer! Love it! Looking forward to seeing you finish this page!

[@cookieskids9873]

That looks really neat Karen Blessings Jo

[@tappy6080]

Good for you Karen, will look forward to seeing you using these. I have, 40 set, the autumn and bright set, now buying singles, love these but need to practice more thank you for showing your techniques beautiful work as always.😍

[@diannadiatz1140]

You have beautiful hands and nails! Enjoy your Neocolor II crayons!

[@JackyGFF]

I'm so happy you're using this. I also have some and you make it so easy to learn how to use them. I appreciate it very much!

[@kimlivengood5916]

Congrats on getting these for your self. I have been wanting these for a long time. I'm going to get my self a birthday gift. It's either the 15 set of the Neo ll or a 10 set of Pan Pastels. I am having trouble deciding. I want them both so much. But you know how it is, I have to control my self a bit & only get one for now. LOL TYFS

[@thecoloringoasis5616]

Curious instead of using your finger to dab and blot as you mix with the water brush, what about using something like a makeup wedge sponge? It’s not sure if there’s any chemicals in the Neocolor is that shouldn’t be observing into your skin so maybe it’s not best to use a finger.

[@sueellens]

I’m excited about these backgrounds. I have a set of Neo II’s. They’re fun to work with. Thank you for sharing this! (I have taught medical terminology, here’s a helpful hint I’d use for my students for difficult words: although not a medical word: Alizarin = “a lizard in” without the “d”!)

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you 😊

[@carriemoon9998]

Autumn is my favourite season, I knew you would capture the beauty of the Autumnal colour palette. Gorgeous, thank you. XxX

[@Keniv.]

Gorgeous Karen!! You make it look as easy as Katrine did! 💖💕

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Awe, thank you Keni

[@Michelle-db2ku]

[@sandywilkie1671]

Love this background will definitely try this technique on my next picture. So happy you treated yourself to the larger set of neocolor II you deserve it. I hsve a set of neocolor II and haven't been brave enough to use them. I just know you are going to do some incredible pictures with them, Take care and hope you have a good weekend

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you Sandy, have a great weekend too!

[@Coloring-with-Marina]

Thank you for the great 💡 👍

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thanks for watching

[@HillbillyTrash]

I am so excited for you!!! I only have a 40 set but I've decided I have enough books for now so I've made a list every single Neo you can own lol there is 126 and each month I'm going to buy 20 of them and a few different stickles and build my collection up

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you BethAnn. Where can you buy them singley?

[@HillbillyTrash]

@@ZucchiniKitty You can get them from Dickblick.com and also from Jerry Artarama.com 8)

[@beckyorstevejohnson7838]

ZucchiniKitty you can also get them from Jerry’s ararama. I got mine from them and the packaging is great.

[@LEAHMARIEMONKEY]

I had been struggling with what new medium I should buy to start learning my background techniques and was on the edge about these but you just convinced me to buy them. You do such beautiful work and have great talent, I'm so envious. Hopefully one day I will be there.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you so much Leah, have a wonderful week.

[@mariaflor9279]

Lindo degradê. Grata.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I have to stop looking at this....I want them but I hate putting water on my coloring pages, how very nonsensical is that? You are making me so envious with your purchase, yet I am unsure of the outcome I would be able to get with them. I am no where near your competence....I love they way you introduce them and the giggles you have because you don’t take yourself seriously......even though you are a PRO! Congrats to you always! I love everything you do.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you

[@arlenelewis1908]

You have such talent that you deserve to splurge on art supplies. I am jealous but only minor. Earlier in the year I invested in the 15 pack. Just like you, a good start. For more colours I am trying out the large set of those made by Sargent Art. I just love watching your channel. Thought you should know.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Thank you Arlene, have a great weekend

[@suegaines3714]

Oh how blessed! So happy for you!!!💖

[@KaylascoloringCorner]

Congrats I want the big one I’ve had the 15 set for over a year and now I want the big set bc they are beautiful colors

[@LantraAntero]

I'm curious why you don't use napkins? To get water away or to make some patterns.

[@ZucchiniKitty]

When I color I am using what I have on my desk around me, I don't store napkins or paper products on my desk, but I do have art rags so thats what I grab...

[@gillyslikejillysart7458]

GREAT purchase Karen!

[@annettekurlemann353]

Awesome. I have them too

[@beverleygardam151]

What book is that please Karen ? I am happy for you that you have a lovely big set .

[@ZucchiniKitty]

There are two books in this video. One is the Hanna Karlzon book Seasons, the other is Ruby Charm Colors Creative Companion

[@nancyflaherty7038]

Bravo, Karen!!

[@sherryscoloringandpaintingcorn]

what is this fabulous book you have there with the swatches in it? Also i have typically picked my color up from the caran board , do you think putting it on paper first is better?

[@ZucchiniKitty]

[@liveincolor3793]

What does patting it with fingers do?

[@ZucchiniKitty]

Patting with my fingers removes and brush strokes and helps blend the colors around, and it is fun! lol

[@Sick1982]

Buying an 84 set after hardly using the 15 set 😅

[@zuheyr1]

Dear Karen, you probably know, darken the colors with the complementary colors, not with black. Try red with dark green to get wine colors. Experiment with various greens and reds. Having billions of color pencils robs you off the pleasure of color mixing unfortunately. I understand pencils but there are watercolor "teachers" online painting with 24 or 48 color sets LOL About max 12 will suffice. Best wishes and regards, Zuheyr

Thank you Leslie... lol

Why are you dabbing?

[@ZucchiniKitty]

It helps to blend

Karen, If you have too many of those crayons......I sure could use some..... 84....you should be ashamed of yourself HA! You deserve every one of them!
