I am sooo excited to see this, I can't wait to color along with you! 👏😄. I just woke up this morning to see this what a wonderful way to wake up! It is 7:32AM here in Houston, TX!

[@Skinnychelle48]

Interesting to see the way u use the pencils! I swipe the pencil onto the paper and the brush with my water brush to paint. Going to try this way as well. Thanks!

[@rachelrixham6063]

Thank you for part 1 & it's great to see you back on with the tutorials Peta, we've missed you :D

[@paula4968]

So happy to see this up! Thank you so much, Peta. Beautiful work, as always.

[@laureenhawes8093]

Hi Peta, I'm so glad I found your site. You have allowed me to stretch my coloring skill which was quite pedestrian to say the least. Thanks again and keep up your great works!

[@paulaqueiroz1738]

Love your work. Please keep doing this step by step tutorial from Johanna's book too. Lovely!!!!

[@cardsbypanda]

Absolutely marvellous! I can't wait to dig out my book and pencils and colour along. Thank you so much for doing this for us!

[@lisa0j]

Thanks is much. I finally felt brave enough to use my new inktense pencils with your guidance. I'm not an artist and don't have your natural flair for colour so I love the learning that I'm going through with your tutorial for guidance. I'm looking forward to completing the whole picture. I hope you will consider doing another Magical City tutorial!

[@medeaunleashed]

thank you!!! I am one of the many that requested a tutorial on Inktense!!! thaaanks!😊

[@PetaHewitt]

+medeaunleashed You're welcome. :)

[@sumfingtosay]

Such a wonderful education for me. Really enjoyed this tutorial. Tfs & take care 🌹

[@courtclerk99]

I have the 72 count of these pencils but have never really used them. Once again, thank you for sharing. I am now more inspired to use them.

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Fabulous inktense colouring as usual, enjoyed watching your process, looking great, tfs x

[@amanda-janewilliams9919]

Peta - I love your videos. I am new to colouring books and have found your reviews and advice very helpful and your videos inspiring. As a fellow Aussie (Tasmanian) living in UK for the last 18 years, I look forward to your next video as a little taste of home. I am still working on your Enchanted Forest Duck Pond colour along but on watching this video have already ordered the Magical City colouring book. I already have the complete set of inktense pencils and the water brushes so can't wait to follow along with this one. I find colouring very relaxing and "de-stresses me from my job as a front-line police officer with Hampshire Constabulary. Thank you so much for your videos they are bloody brilliant. Please don't stop. Ajay :)

[@michellew3122]

Thank you for listing the colors that you used! This makes it much easier to make sure I have all my tools together before hand.

[@riversong4950]

Yes! Thank you so much! I was looking for a new color along and you picked my favorite media and favorite book!

[@prettyblimp]

Peta, I just want to say a huge thanks for showing me these methods. I am learning so much!!

[@anoukhorstink]

amazing Peta! also, Napoleon's grave is here....most important reason to visit haha so lovely and thanks for the tutorial. Looking forward for more

[@gnostie]

I just love your tutorials! Can only imagine how many people got to know their colouring tools with your help.

[@ritatroch7074]

Hi Peta, this is a great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

[@priyachouhan3535]

Peta I've just recently got this book and my inktense pencils set of 72 about to start colouring in this picture! Very excited! you're an inspiration

[@deseriemeyers7156]

Thank you for all your videos Peta Hewitt. You are a great inspiration to me. I love your addition of colour alongs!

[@dinahenryscott8651]

Just finished my preview of your video and looking forward to starting my picture tonight. Thank you for doing this tutorial Peta!

[@angelkin27]

I purchased the inktense last year at this time as a Christmas gift to myself (wooden box and all) but felt completely lost on how to use them, until I saw this tutorial and do i ran and bought the coloring book and began following your instruction. Wow! I can paint/color!! Thank you for taking the time to teach us! I found this tutorial to be very helpful. Just enough detail, perfect explanations on why you are picking the colors and what you are trying to achieve! I'm having so much fun! Thank you!

[@juditharowland3461]

I love your new cover page. It's beautiful and so creative!..And always enjoy your Inktense work in Lizzie's book.

[@crystalfranklin2583]

I feel absolutely compelled to watch every single second of your videos for fear that I might miss some very valuable tip if I don't. I learned a LOT from this one and if I'm not mistaken, there are several parts in which you continue with this page. I have been wanting Derwent Inktense pencils for quite some time, but was nervous about trying them as I don't have much experience with water-soluble media, but having garnered some good information from this video, I feel quite confident that I can enjoy them. Thank you, Peta!

[@lisamr40]

I got my Inktense pencils last year for a birthday gift. I am going to dig them out and try this technique! Thanks so much for these tutorials! Love all your videos!

[@MelissaM18]

I love using my inktense pencils in coloring books! Learned a lot from your videos! Would love to see more with Inktense and/or watercolor pencils.

[@lindabanks5517]

brilliant video, just like being in the room with you. followed it precisely and loved the result. cant wait for the next one. thanks Peta. xx

[@nippesskb4659]

Beautiful, inspiring as always! I am encouraging my friends to try using more than standard pencils and scrubbing colour onto their pictures...yours is the best source of how to try the many exciting things that can be done with some thought and time😎👏👏 Thank you, Peta

[@roden70]

Beautiful artwork as usual Peta. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dianecrowley1637]

Wonderful presentation! I am new to adult coloring and you have been very helpful on this new journey. Thank you!

[@kellyb1765]

Can't wait to do this. Just waiting on my 36 set and Aqua pens to arrive. Got some open stock of colours I liked too 😀

[@cbfraser10]

Thank you for the info. So, I know that I'm caught up till Part 4 comes out. Yeah! Thank you for giving us these beautiful colour alongside. Luv them!

[@angelagossel1181]

Had a lot of fun coloring with you! Please do another color along from this book

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Wonderful, wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much

[@5898MJ]

Lovely, Peta! I do not yet have this book but so very much enjoy watching you colour, so I had to watch the video as soon as I saw you post about it in ACW. :-)

[@juditharowland3461]

Pete.......I love this. I so enjoy seeing what you do with this book. I love all her books(including the 2 new ones on pre-order.) But i've been too timid to try much on my own. Now I get to paint along with you. Thank you so much. I am enjoying every minute and have learned so very much!

[@TheFabulousIdiot]

Peta, this was a wonderful relaxing video; I loved every minute of it! When I started to learn about coloring in 2017, your channel was the first I ever watched a coloring video--the fish in Lost Ocean. You have been instrumental in exposing thousands to this art and teaching us how to express ourselves with color. Thank you for your hard work and the spectacular images you have given us on social media. Lisa🕊

[@estherconley8823]

I like that you explain how and why. I don’t have that book to color along but I will watch and learn. Thank you!

[@Jenny_5309]

Love you. Such perfect teaching method and voice. Thank you so much Peta.

[@jendesign5537]

I thought you may have colored in the book with the pencils then wet them. I bought these pencils and the magical journey book after seeing your beautiful pages that you colored, wow they are gorgeous. Thank you for showing how to use both the intense & regular watercolor pencils and the difference with applications!

[@jennacollins7776]

I don't even have inktense pencils but I squealed a little when I got the video notification.

[@Irkallah]

+Jenna Collins Same! Peta is so soothing to listen to even if I'm not interested in that particular medium, I enjoy the video anyway!

[@dinahenryscott8651]

All done with the first part! 👍🏻 Ready for part 2!

[@PetaHewitt]

+Dina Henry Scott almost finished editing process, will chase hubby up.

[@sueknibbs7783]

Thanks PETA your art and words have so inspired me and it's a shame it's 11:13 and I have a scan appointment at 8am in the morning otherwise I would be getting up and playing with my inktense, thanks for sharing I have learnt so much from your vid maybe just watch part 2 before I settle down. It's hard being on chemo I am always tired and my art has to wait till I have an appointment free day and some strength at the same time, thanks again you have made me feel happy and inspired, bless you.

[@annchristy1956]

Love this! I actually ordered the Magical City book (which isn't so easy to find anymore!) and bought more colors (36 really isn't enough!) so I can do this with you. Thanks so much for doing this.

[@SweetPJ]

Fantastic! Can't wait for Part 2! :-)

[@jewellmoebus7976]

I learn so much from all your demos. U r terrific. Bringing coloring to a much higher level. Jewell

[@super0chick]

That's brilliant! I like the idea of using color pencils for precision coverage and the water brushes gives it a more polished look! Bravo! Thank you

[@BEATRIZBARRUETO]

LOVELY!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I learned how use my material now!!!!

[@Animejeff]

I don't do coloring but have just watched this and Wow, the results are fab. Those pencils are great, got to get some and give it a go. Keep up these tutorials.

[@leeonacasey5849]

Will you plan on using the inktense pencils in a Johanna book? I would love to see a color along since I dont own this particular book. :(

[@ReneeFoster19]

I just received my pencils and started playing a little in Secret garden. Not so good. I can't wait for this book to come in the mail. It's taking forever. I plan on doing this with you and I'm so excited. Thank you.

[@tresormimi8305]

your french is so cute! don't worry for the pronounciation, what really matters is to try. and by the way, i love this tutorial!

[@creativejessy8896]

I would love another coloring tutorial with watercolor or watercolor Pencils! I just bought the Secret Garden coloring book and would love a tutorial in this book. I'm new to coloring and understand the technique when you explain it, but it's another Story if I try it myself. I would like to do a Page step by step, following your example to get a feeling for it. I use Koh I Noor watercolor Pencils and love them! Hugs from Germany :)

[@audreyliew1218]

Loved all your tutorial. Pls do more colour along tutorial with this book and inktense pencils.

[@danschmith5957]

Really missing you on you tube hope all is well?? Would love to see you back again your fantastic and I've learnt so much from you ✨

[@TheKcbythec]

I love to watch you work with Inktense, a great medium brings everything to life. Also interested in watercolour pencils. I have every medium I can think of lol, but so fascinated watching you with Inktense I had to buy the set, getting ready to do my first full project with these lovely pencils. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to watching more.

[@norimnor]

Karen Clement

[@michellechapman8738]

beautiful work!!

[@dorothyling1]

PETA!!! You are sooo good!!! I can't colour along, because I don't have this book... but such a great watch and learn!!!

[@loletalole8437]

Beautiful peta but since I don't have these pencils and I have fc polychromes, can you show along smiler colors from the polychromes range so I can do it with you 🌷❤️ thanks

[@michaelromero31]

Hello!!! I relly love your coloring. Thanks for Sharing!!¡

[@leneprior1044]

Love this doing over a 3 day holiday in America our Labor Day. Plus it is nearly 100 outside !

[@skiingowl]

After watching your videos, I bought myself a set of aqua brushes to use with my inktense pencils. It's so much easier than using a normal paint brush and water. Thank you for the tip. :)

[@delphinelecomte1122]

Cc peta tes colos ton travail est sublime je suis admirative de tout ce que tu réalise tu as beaucoup de talent merci de tes partagés bon dimanche 👍 🌸

[@marciabosworth9470]

Did you put a piece of paper behind your page? Wonderful presentation of sharing your artistic process.

[@marciabosworth9470]

+Marcia Bosworth further along in the video it was clear that you did have a piece of paper under your page :)

[@robertdarrell2116]

Just got this book so I could go back and join in the fun....it is much smaller than I was expecting. I guess looking at it zoomed in all the time I just didn't realize how small it was. Anywho, still look forward to spending the weekend trying it out.

[@reko6262]

That's cool coloring :)

[@moniiibelle]

Thought for sure this was Sacre Coeur in Paris... Guess that's because I only saw the Hotel des Invalides from the outside

[@greenassgrass]

I learn so much from you. Thank you

[@sherrysterner5276]

When you do your journal with all the color swatches, is it watercolor paper? I'd like to make one. Love your tutorial. watching you helps out a lot.

[@marciabosworth9470]

+Sherry Sterner mine was just sketch paper.

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

Love the new intro !

[@elladsm2002]

Also not sure if I have missed the video but how does the derwent inktense go compared with faber castell classic watercolor pencil? Thanks just wondering which one is more colorful

[@PetaHewitt]

+carmela mercado Hi Carmela. Inktense pencils are Indian ink in a pencil form. they're colours are very rich and bright and they dry permanently. They can be used for art on fabric that requires washing as the ink, when set properly, won't wash out. Watercolour pencils are exactly that... watercolour in pencil form. they're colours are lovely but less dense and vibrant and if water is added to them again after they have dried they will activate again as they do not set permanently.

[@elladsm2002]

Hi Peta! May I ask what waterbrush are you using? it seems fine especially when you go to details😉

[@PetaHewitt]

+carmela mercado certainly. i use a fine pointed Kuretake Zig aquabrush.

[@BlueSkies09]

Love this tutorial

[@brandy5050]

Brilliant Peta, thank you. What make of water brush do you use? The ones I have deliver too much water I find

[@PetaHewitt]

+Carol Brandreth I use a Kuretake zig aquabrush... the fine tipped one. i have two and both work fine.

[@jazztsax]

forgive me if I missed this, I have kids!! but how do you decide when to color directly on the paper verses taking the water brush to the pencil then applying?

[@xonyx2003]

Thank you Peta I am following you to color this pic and I love how it is getting the. You are a very good instructor.

[@ericasendel3076]

I have a question. Why do you choose to use the pencils over the blocks for the inktense?

[@priyachouhan3535]

Hi Peta from New Zealand here. I'm new to Adult colouring I got into it a few weeks ago and I bought myself an Animal Kingdom book and I have to say you're truly an inspiration I have been watching your videos for a few days now and I just ordered myself a copy of "The Magical City" really excited!!! I'm a big fan of your work. I need to order me some Inktense pencils too, but the shipping price is so expensive, where did you get yours from and as well as the aqua brush?

[@emmali359]

I love this channel!

[@DD-d6d3]

Awesome!

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

I have the Inktense pencils. And the blocks. I love the blocks so muck more .

[@PetaHewitt]

+Suzanne Hale I've been thinking about those blocks. I've seen some beautiful work done with them.

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

they are awesome

[@cbfraser10]

PETA, I found this part 1, that I had asked you for, but am wondering how many 'Parts' there are to this tutorial. Am I caught up with Part 3, or are there more parts posted (#4, etc) that I just don't see?? Thank you so much, PETA.

[@PetaHewitt]

+Cleo Fraser Hi Cleo. i understand your confusion. Initially we thought this would be a three part tutorial but when we came to edit the 2nd part, which would show all of the building, it ran well over 2 hours! So we broke it into two sections. The video series has 4 parts with the forth currently in the final editing stages. It will go up late next week.

[@janadean1646]

PETA, I just wanted to let you know how much I miss your beautiful video tutorials. I hope you are well and to hear from you soon it's a new video from you!!!😊☺

[@Metaphor74]

So, Inktense pencils can be used wet or dry? Awesome!

[@ericasendel3076]

They do brigten and get more intense when wet!

[@KimuraMayuko]

Hello. First, you have amazing videos. But I´d like to ask, what is that kind of brush you are using to water color? I mean how is it named? Im not from the same country as you so I was a little bit confused :)

[@cbfraser10]

PETA, is WHITE a colour? I always thought it was the absence of colour but some of my group's members say I'm wrong. Whereas, I thought BLACK was all colours together. I'd just your opinion on this 'white & black' issue. Thank you.Another fantastic video. Thank you.

[@PetaHewitt]

This is a fun question and is really subjective, from a physics point of view I would say no black and white are not colours (In physics, a colour is visible light with a specific wavelength). Colour as light (Not physics) White is considered a colour and black is not. Pigments and coloring agents Black is a colour white is not From the point of view of vision and reflection this is were the answer starts to get debatable with trees falling in forests or bears doing there business in the forest if we don't witness it does it exist. If you google this you can find better answers than mine.

[@erichaleigh8803]

how I wish I could color like you lol I'm trying tho

[@Madicalier7]

Hi peta , I want to ask u ,do u have to use inktense coloring pencil with the brush or is it okay to use pelikan coloring pencil with the brush???

[@OjitosRM]

Hi! you can use those brushes for all watercolors and inks, they are very handy and you can get them in different gauges, large, medium, small, depending on your needs. Hope it helps! :)

[@PetaHewitt]

Hi Itaf, sorry for the late reply, I just discovered your question. You can use any watercolour pencils with this picture but the results will not be as bright as the Inktense pencils.

[@MegaAnezia]

I like to see you while you color and I have a great curiosity , what is your job?

[@PetaHewitt]

+MegaAnezia I am a registered nurse. :) I work as an associate unit manager on night duty in a high level care ward.

[@auroras8505]

Can you maybe do a picture with shading and compare it to a picture without shading?

[@cynthiadalmaso9964]

I just order Faber-Castell and prismacolor watercolor pencil do you have any way to use them.

[@felipebello8488]

Cynthia Dalmaso You have to use a wet paintbrush to make the colors become watercolors, or just dip the pencil tip in water, hope i helped!

[@EmaanARahim]

what paper do you use to paint with ink tense pencil ? +Peta Hewitt

[@PetaHewitt]

Watercolour paper is best. :)

[@cbfraser10]

PETA, did you put extra paper behind this pic so the Inktense doesn't doesn't go thru to the next page?

[@PetaHewitt]

Hi Cleo, it is a habit now I always put a piece of paper behind to protect the other pages regardless of if I need it or not. The times I have forgotten are the times I really wish I had not.

[@rosavaldes2599]

Did u list colors?

[@miahamilton-smith6090]

lovely

[@sewcrazy423]

After watching this video, all I could think was, "SHE HAS TO DO ALL OF THE BOOKS!" ( said in a little kids voice ) Not feasible in this lifetime, but whew, you are very good at this format of instruction.

[@cathyo6710]

Please spell the name of the aqua brush you use.

[@PetaHewitt]

Kuretake Zig Aquabrush in medium and fine tip.

[@cathyo6710]

Thank you for such Maui know reply😀😀😊

[@cathyo6710]

Thank you for your quick reply. Sorry for error in previous message.
