October and November 2024 colouring supplies and book haul | Adult Colouring

[@susanneevensen9054]

You can stop looking for Sorcieres and the Seasons postcard book. I am sending them to you as a gift from me and letting you know so you don’t buy them before the mail from Norway reaches the forests of Canada. I love your channel! I have used pitt pens for years, but have learned so much from you, so Thank you! Your books will hopefully be shipped as soon as I know where to send them (have not looked up your info here on KZbin yet) Hope this is some good news in a rather rough week 🙂

[@susanneevensen9054]

Do you have an e-mail address posted anywhere so I can contact you? I could not see one

[@colouringchemist]

Oh my goodness, Susanne - what an incredibly kind offer!!!!! You can email me at [e-mail] and we can chat. :) I'm overwhelmed and at a loss for words - the kindness and generousity of people in the colouring community is amazing. :) :)

[@kdizzler]

How wonderfully kind!! ❤

[@susanneevensen9054]

I apologize for my delay in following up, but I finally sent you an email now. ❤

[@susanneevensen9054]

And believe me, it can only be good for me to let some books find a new home; I think I am devolving from collector to hoarder 😂

[@maureenmorley9555]

Hi Connie ! I am late to viewing this! I was going to sit and watch this a few times!!! I was so saddened to hear that Hanna had the health issues again! So I guess we will have to enjoy what we can? I like that you have them all! The time garden, then the night voyage and the time chamber I think? I love these books too! Look at Doodle Robot, she did a really cool pg change on one of them! Yes Amanda has been talking about the Molotov markers!!! I got the arrtex as well!!! I watched Doodle Robot do a review of them and I’m glad i got them!!!! I dont know if you can use Jet Pens in Canada? That is where I get the Pental dual hybrids from and they have some really cool colors? thanks for sharing your experience!!! Have a super weekend!!!

[@colouringchemist]

So glad you enjoyed it! Yes - I've ordered from Jet Pens before - great company! :)

[@jett8193]

Thanks so much for the links to the lovely, shiny background techniques! Much appreciated! I have the Neocolor I crayons, but no tempera sticks, so Im excited to give them a try, too~

[@colouringchemist]

Excellent - you're welcome! :) Hope you have fun experimenting!

[@elisecharlenefineart]

HI Connie, Always great video. The Pantone Markers are alcohol markers. They are the only alcohol markers that use pigments. I don’t know about steadtler, but pit pens are considered water based.

[@colouringchemist]

Pitt Pens and the Staedtler Pigment pens are both water-based - correct. :) I had to double-check the Pantone markers, though, as I was sure that I had bought the water-based ones. :) The only place I can find any reference to alcohol-based pigment markers from Pantone is here: shopsketch.com/products/pantone%C2%AE-x-royal-talens-illustration-system-basic-box?srsltid=AfmBOoqXCAA5iEX5zWKpY3Ik8k1aj9d0XeHw_uVgp54Uo6ryuQGf2KFZ The ones I bought were definitely water-based, though - the listing is here: www.dickblick.com/products/talens-pantone-dual-tip-markers/ Now you've got me curious. :) Do you have a listing somewhere for the alcohol-based Pantone markers?

[@ColouringwithK]

Awesome haul Connie, you got so many lovely things. Hope you enjoy them all! I love those bigger nib super golden markers, they are awesome - I couldn’t find them on Amazon UK though. Take care ❤

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks, K! :) I just took a quick look and couldn't find the larger-nibbed Super Golden Markers on Amazon UK, either - bummer! I bought mine from Amazon US: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CYY6FR5X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1 Maybe if you reached out to your contact at Lightwish (I think they're the ones selling the Super Golden Markers), she might be able to hook you up. :) I think my contact's name is Emily. Hope you're enjoying your colouring and having a lovely autumn! :)

[@amandjuh8885]

You got some great books and supplies to play with! And those molotow pens🥰 i love them so much! 🤗💕

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much for introducing me to the Molotow pens!! :)

You're very welcome - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@bethbrady8146]

Hi Connie!! I always enjoy your videos so much!! love all the deep diving and the why of how things work! thank you for explaining, it is so helpful! I bought Arteza super glitter pens and they worked one time and dried up, never worked again....gel pens are fickle cause I know Coloring with K loves them!!! Take good care!😊

[@colouringchemist]

You're very welcome! Yeah - those Arteza glitter gel pens are weird. I think, once upon a time, they truly were fantastic and smooth and were a great product. Starting about two years ago, they must have switched manufacturers or something because the quality took a HUGE nose-dive. I think folks who still have some of the original pens are the ones that are loving them so much. :) It's too bad - it seems like the original ones were lovely!

[@judyoger]

Colouring Heaven has a new full size Christmas Colouring Book in Walmart now. Guilty of enabling. Oops. Love the haul and insights on the products you have used, so fun to hear some of the product differences from county to country. Did you see the video where the Chemistry teacher taught her class how to carve a pumpkin with chemicals, so neat to incorporate holiday event with a learning experience. Thank you for sharing your time and talents.

[@colouringchemist]

I haven't seen the chemistry pumpkin carving video but I'll certainly have to look it up - thanks for letting me know! :) I didn't know about the Colouring Heaven Christmas book - I'll have to look the next time I'm in a Walmart. :) So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@leonnehaaijman4709]

A smashing haul, thank you for sharing 🥰

[@colouringchemist]

You’re welcome 😊

[@louisescherbain312]

Lots of info in this video. Nice stack of books. I ordered Sagen from Indigo. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Thanks for sharing 🐞🇨🇦

[@colouringchemist]

So glad you liked the video - enjoy Sagen! :)

[@addie1056]

Loved your video as always! Have you ever tried Evazar London colouring pencils, just when I heard you mention you order stuff from Amazon uk, I believe the 130 set is only available there and so I’m struggling to find many reviews. I really like them! They come in a case etc, go on sale regularly, I paid £24 for my set :)

[@colouringchemist]

I haven't tried those pencils but I've been moving away from using pencils in my colouring - pens and markers are so much easier on my hand and shoulder. :) I probably won't buy any more pencil sets but I know that folks who have tried those pencils really seem to like them. I'm glad that they are available so reasonably for folks who would like to give them a try! :)

[@kyliescolouringindownunder3098]

Hi Connie just love your videos thank you for sharing your new colouring books and supplies.. I remember when Hanna went through it the first time it’s horrible I hope she will be ok.. ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx

[@colouringchemist]

Me, too!! Hugs for her!!

[@barmar4740]

I have to stop watching your videos - you keep showing me art supplies I have to have. I didn’t know the Lightwish super golden markers came in a fine tip, & I need them! Thank you so much for all the info you share.

[@colouringchemist]

Sorry! ;) :) Glad you find the info helpful! :)

[@hannahrenae_art]

Love your channel! I’m fairly new to it, but I really enjoy hearing your takes on things (and the occasional sciency stuff 🧐☺️). I’ve been eyeing the books that you showed after the Hanna Karlzon books for a while. Would you consider doing a flip through of those?

[@colouringchemist]

I can put that video request on my list. :) So glad you're liking the channel!

[@Ninjamom_colours]

Thank you for grabbing those dual metallic gel pens! I just purchased a set on Amazon 🇨🇦…the Pentel ones are expensive and hard to find sometimes! Have a great long weekend!

[@colouringchemist]

They are definitely a deal! Hope you're having a lovely weekend, too! :)

[@HeatherRoselliDesign]

Connie, I’m glad you purchased and also liked those “pigment pens” that are really just thin tempura paint sticks that I mentioned to you on a past video. I only have the pastel set and none of mine are dry or crumbly like you are experiencing with a few in the full set. That is disappointing for sure. I wonder if the whole stick is partially dry or just the exposed tip. It is too bad that the Pantone pens aren’t like Pitt/Staedtler pigments pens, but good at the same time since the price for them is so high! Have you tried the Zig Brushables? They are dual ended pigment ink pens made for card makers I think. They have two colors per pen - one end is a lighter tint of the other end. They are also expensive but not as expensive as those Pantone ones! I think you can get large sets, small sets and maybe even individual pens at some stores. Would love to know if they would work along side the Pitt/Staedtler pigment pens.

[@colouringchemist]

Ah - you were the one who mentioned them - thank you so much, Heather! :) I think I have one set of the Zig Brushables but I had completely forgotten they were pigment ink - I'll have to see if I can find them and take another look. Thanks for the reminder! :)

[@jett8193]

Ooh, Connie, can you let me know which video you showed the gorgeous, shiny background techniques in Small Victories at 1:18:19? Thanx much!

[@colouringchemist]

Was it the fish page? :) That was done with the metallic Neocolor I crayons (not the water soluble ones - the non-water soluble ones). I did a tutorial video using the same technique on a different page but it wasn't exactly a success (I tried incorporating some of the non-metallic Neocolor I crayons - that did NOT work :)). This is the link to that video - hopefully, there's something in there of value. :) I do give a step-by-step guide as to how to do it properly in the description box of the video. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3O0hGetZdVkpqs If you meant the gold background on the cardinal page, that was done with tempera paint sticks. Here's a video for that technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4eyfYV4eLeMa6c Hope that helps!

[@lesleyritchie5085]

Great video. So kind of you to show some love for artists. I can’t draw for the life of me. Being a super greenie so refilling pens is optimal. Looked the Krylon spray but $70 from Amazon Australia, doh. Loved your idea. Tysmfs Connie ❤❤

[@colouringchemist]

Ouch - that's expensive! Maybe there's a different brand of workable fixatif that's more reasonably priced in Australia - hopefully, it would work, too! :)

[@lesleyritchie5085]

@ ty I will have a look around. It’s such an awesome idea

[@selinakleurt]

you can look for some Nia Nora books. I do love cozy critters, cozy haven. And she has some more in the same style

[@colouringchemist]

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll take a look for those books! :)

[@Lolatigre1012]

Oh man, it’s so disappointing when you’re excited about a new medium and it doesn’t meet expectations! But I think you’re right to return them… for that kind of money, the product better be EXACTLY what you want it to be. Earlier in the video when you were talking about the cozy coloring, and wanted something cozy but slightly more detailed, what came to my mind was the Annee Day & Matchstick Mouse books. I can’t remember if you have any- but there are lots of cozy scenes indoors while it snows or rains outside. ❤

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much for the reminder! I do have most of the Matchstick Mouse books and you're right - I should take a look through the Christmas and winter books to see if any pages "jump out at me". :) And yes - the Pantone markers are beautiful but won't do what I wanted them to do. No fault of the markers - they just aren't the product for me. :)

[@kdizzler]

I think KZbin is social media, isn't it? So I think you're definitely supporting artists. People who watch your great videos will buy these books! ❤🇨🇦🙂

[@colouringchemist]

You're totally right - KZbin is considered social media as well. :) It's funny - somehow, in my brain, I put it in a different category than other things like FB, Instagram, TikTok, etc. I don't know why. :) But yes - if folks see my videos and then want to support our wonderful Hanna by purchasing some of her books, that's a lovely thing. :)

[@kirstendecoster3201]

I'm watching the part about the more simple colouring books. Gabi Wolf has one, I think it is called Tiny Town. It's less detailed than the Mini Mania ones, but not super simple.

[@colouringchemist]

Ah - thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to look that one up. Might be just what I was looking for! :)

[@krissykolorjunki5304]

Hello Coloring Chemist, I realize I'm going to ask you a question that you did a video on it about 6 months ago - trying bout different coloring book papers using Kuretake Zig Clean Color brush pens. I am sport I didn't see that video until today, Nov 21, 2024. My question is about trying out Zig clean color brush pens in Tuttle published coloring books. They are very well made, beautiful art work, the line work page is a copy of Japanese wood block prints created between 1700's to mid 1900's. They are about 9" x 12" and the inside paper is thick and smooth. The titles are: Beautiful Women; In A Japanese Garden; Floating World; The Colours of Asia; Meditations On Tea; and A Touch of Asia. All originally published between 2016 & 2017. The books are beautiful just as they are, each color print of original painting is opposite the black line design of same piece. I'd like to hear about your experiments using the Zig brush pens if you have tried any of these gorgeous coloring books. Thank you! Kris

[@colouringchemist]

I'm sorry, Kris - I don't own any of those books so I can't say whether the pens would work well on that paper or not. Your best bet might be to buy a few of the Zig pens through open stock and then try them out on a page to see if you like how they work. Hope that helps! :)

Hi, love your videos. Do you have a link for Shands color changing shiny pen set of 18? Aloha Sharon

I just checked the Amazon listing where I bought them from a 3rd party seller and it now says that they are unavailable. :( I think they're a discontinued product so it may be difficult to find them. I found a listing on eBay, though: www.ebay.com/itm/146151431713 Hope that helps!

Can u please help me find where to purchase the new colors for Staedtler pigment brush pens

They aren't yet available in the US or Canada so I buy them from Amazon Germany - they seem to have the best price. This is a set of the 24 new colours: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0CTKNBR5V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope that helps! :)

[@jsscraphappy]

Good video. Doesn’t surprise me about the Pantone markers. Pantone is a standardized set of colors used to match colors across industries. Imagine you are the customer and request a particular Pantone color of something. The person matching it using the marker has created a new color because they did blend! I’m sure they are not suppose to blend ever!

[@colouringchemist]

That's an excellent, excellent point - I hadn't considered that. :) Thank you for pointing it out! They truly are beautiful markers - they just aren't for me and how I colour. But you're absolutely right - they are fantastic for their main purpose. :)
