Tutorial: Colour with Peta. Paris using Inktense Pencils. Part 4.

[@Patcrochets]

Your rose reminds me of the Peace Rose my dad grew in the family garden. Beautiful and thank you for the memory. :-)

[@doloresungerleider4984]

It is joy watching each leaf, flower and every section of the picture come to life. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@jenniferthomas8932]

Thank you so much, Peta, for doing a colour along with the inktense pencils. We all learn so much from you! You are an amazing teacher and I truly appreciate your sharing your techniques with us. I know I was so excited to see the start and end of this series and everything in between! I enjoy your videos so much! So many colorists on KZbin don't speak in their videos. They do longer videos and multi-part series on one page where you can follow along and see the techniques but it really makes all the difference when you speak. I love that you actually explain what you are doing. I think that's one of the main reason that you have such a bigger following than the other colorists on KZbin. That and of course your amazing talent, coloring and your own art! That's something else. The other colorists on here either didn't do original art or just haven't showed them. But thanks again! And I know your work load is unreal and we appreciate you always trying to make everyone happy.

[@jenniferthomas8932]

I know your workload is full, trying to make everyone happy and doing a ton of videos and your husband trying to edit them all.i love that Yall are a team. It's super sweet how supportive he is to you and he really knows what he's doing when it comes to editing. All your videos look amazing. Yall are a great team! But I know you have a lot on your plate and I don't know if you planned on ever doing it again but I, and several others I'm sure, would love to see another Colour along with regular colored pencils again like the duck pond. I love the inktense tutorial and truly appreciate it and really enjoyed it as well as all your Colour alongs. But I learned soooo much from your duck pond multi-part series and would love to see another. But like I said, no pressure! I know you've got a stack of books to review and prob products too and many other things you want to do first. But when it works for you and if you would like to do another one... I'd love to see another Colour along. Thanks!

[@dinahenryscott8651]

Yeah!!! I'm so glad part 4 has been posted! Love your videos & my family is so impressed with my coloring talent Peta! I owe it all to your great instruction! Thank you & your hubby for making these videos! Can't wait for Lizzy's new coloring books - have them on order. 😁

[@TheINDIANA59]

Sometimes I flick through a colouring book and say , no way, I am not colouring that in, then I see you at work, and I am like, now where's that colouring book, your work is very motivational and inspirational on how to use only just the basic of colours and make any picture pop, all your video's are concise and easy to follow, you make colouring an absolute pleasure to us all, thank you . . .

[@ib0093]

I love all,of your coloring videos!

[@marthasfriend2579]

Great serial tutorial! The picture is great as well. Thanks for all your tips.

[@trassel8853]

Thank you so much Peta, thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial 😍

[@PetaHewitt]

You're welcome. :)

[@kristineharkin1724]

I love watching your tutorials being only new to Inktense pencils I really love using them plus you give me good guidance I hope to see more on flowers

[@Daydreambeliever365]

Hi Peta! Just want to THANK YOU so much for this tutorial. I am relatively new to coloring books and I spent this weekend completing the Inktense tutorial. It was quite a challenge. I just want to say that you are an excellent instructor and I love your nonchalant attitude. You make mistakes forgiving and that boosts my confidence. While I'm no where close to your level of expertise, because of you, I'm improving. I learned so so much. You're awesome!

[@juliadreamsincolor5935]

Thank you very much for your toutorials! You are very talanted! I followed all of the parts. It was my first experience with Dervent Ainktense, but even with several bad excidents the picture looks very nice! I would never be able to do it without you! Please continue your toutorials, we need them extremely!!!

[@wendymaddock7705]

Thankyou your work is stunningly beautiful xx I’ve got the intense am going to have a go with them x been a bit Nervous to use them, but I will have to go now I’ve seen you do it xx 😊🦋🫠🤗🙏💙♥️🧡💜🌟your a star xx

[@jonalex0]

Wow finally finished! For a complete NEWB I don't think it turned out to bad 👍😀

[@marciabosworth9470]

Thank you! I hope you do another Inktense follow along.

[@MiaPracticingRelaxing]

Dear Peta, i can't thank you enough - I so much enjoyed this tutorial as well as the inktense pencils and I am very pleased with the result! One more piece of Peta in my own book :)!

[@kristineharkin1724]

You make it look so easy

[@karentemplesnow8960]

Hi Peta. I've finally finished following along on this page!!! (I got bored with all the brown on the building and came back to it). I've had a challenge matching up my Caran D'Ache Aquarelle pencils with your inktense colours, but can report that they are fantastic pencils to work with.. no streaks or scribble marks. It's the first time I've used them and the first time I've painted in a colouring book. Thanks to your excellent tutorial it looks great, and I have something I'm proud of, so thank you so much. Think I'll do one of your Creative Cats next. xxx

[@2010shatha]

Many thanks for these beautiful and clear tutorials. 💐💐💐

[@moniiibelle]

Had a lot of fun with it.. and I'm even quite happy with the picture,, Thank you Peta.

[@jaynesills1248]

I have just bought the 72 colors of Inktense pencils and I am doing the swatch colors. I really am amazed at what beautiful, intense, vivid colors these pencils turn when adding water. I can't even imagine just using them as a pencil, that to me would be such a waste. I started about 8 months ago buying everything in sight!! mainly for mixed media. But I also have watercolors, neocolor 11 crayons, distress inks, on and on....I really am Loving your tutorials!! You really explain the colors and shading in a way that I can finally understand, I get it now!!! Thanks so much for doing these. You have a dedicated subscriber...

[@melissakyzar9217]

Now that my Paris picture is nearly done (I'm at the cobblestones and steps now!), I wanted to write a huge thank you for taking your time to do these videos. I am absolutely loving my Inktense now and learned so much on how to use them. Even with my lesser quality version, I have only a couple spots that show on the back of the page (caused mostly by me adding more color off the pencil with the brush while the paper was still drying) though I won't know until I try to color it if it damaged the paper too much but I can always get a second copy! I vote for more Inktense color alongs! :) I also wondered what you thought about the Coloursoft pencils. I found them on sale but wasn't sure if they were worth investing in. I love the Derwent color line (I have the Artist pencils) and was tempted by the colors but with a softer lead. I noticed you mostly use the Polychromos in your video pieces and I have those already so it may not be worth purchasing. Not that that has stopped me before but I'm running out of storage room for my collection! LOL! :)

[@veracalvin6858]

Amazon has the 24 pack for 24 dollars (sale price) that exact same set is at my local Michael's for 80.00. I did order them & this book last week. they arrived today. a bit longer wait for the book. u so much enjoyed the pond color along. looking forward to attempting all of your magical city speed colorings & tutorial. just played with them a little. they are special!

[@lisa0j]

Thanks for these tutorial colour-alongs. I've learnt so much about blending and looking for shadows using Inktense. Please do some more, especially from Magical City

[@susaninsocal550]

Lovely!

[@cynthiarosiek4098]

Thank you for your tutorials. You truly add so much to many lives, you know, including mine. Learned so very much watching the tutorials for this picture. I think I may finally be ready to try my inktense in this book.

[@xonyx2003]

I did all the tutorial and the result is amazing, mine is not exactly as yours , but I like it a lot, besides I learn a lot about Derwent and colors, how to choose and mix them. Thank you Peta your tips are really helpful and great results !!!!

[@anjapinkau3737]

I don't mind that the sound disappears occationally as long as I can see which colours are used and where. Another very helpful tutorial and fantastic picture! Thank you! I'm learning a lot from you!

[@lisalinz2623]

thank. you. so much. for. showing. you're. beautiful. work☺

[@bethbrasil6710]

Fabolous ! Congrats !

[@kadifrederic882]

Thank you very much for your video (4) it's the first time i use my Derwent inktense and it was very helpfull to try to copy your excellent work .Thank you very much again !!!

[@gasuz06]

thank you! I actually finished!!

[@nanettemccall8618]

Thank you that was beautiful!

[@starbuck1800]

Thank you Peta. Turned out gorgeous. Haven't used inktints before appreciate the full tutorial.😊

[@cindyk.9574]

Dear Peta, thank you so so so much for Sharing this tutorial. I've learned so much. Greetings from austria. Cindy

[@nonishkax8056]

Thank you so much from Canada! Your tips and seeing you do them is particularly beneficial.💐

[@QueenMabelandDoris]

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial, I've learnt so much, keep them coming xx😁

[@МираславаРоусь]

Hi Peta, Great video! More video Magic city, please!!!

[@coloringwithd]

Thank you 😊 this is beautiful.

[@lexygalloway4282]

so glad I found your channel...actually it just cued up after something else ...auto play feature. I have had a difficult time.😍 cuz now I can't lift the color with Inktense although I love them. it shows me that I tend to rework areas more than I thought. Love, love your coloring and tutorial. I watched you butterfly first. here is what I had started to say. ...do you save your Inktense sharpening shavings? if so, save separately and try sprinkling on wet watercolor paper. spray with more water let dry...wipe off wood pcs. see if you can see something in the design... now please tell me how it turned out, as I tried this [no channel to post] but now I am stuck on how to finish it because it is not crisp and resembles oil pastels...I could outline to get more detail can you help? I'm asking you because you have impressed me with what you can do with these! thanks for you time.😍

[@melissakyzar9217]

I know my copy of magical city is from a different printer and doesn't take water as well (I can do it but very carefully and can't rework an area - just enough to activate then stop or it degrades the paper) and I've seen come others comment that theirs is a thinner paper quality too. Just a thought but I ran across a KZbin channel - julie's passion for coloring by Julie Bouve - and she uses Inktense a lot with colorless blenders rather than water. I've seen her do that in Magical City and and I think she's in Europe so her version is likely like mine which was printed in Italy. She mostly uses a Tombow blender but also Koi or Dove. Any blender should work. Not quite the same effect as the water but it's an idea for trying on most coloring books without the fabulous paper. I tried my Tombow blender on the test page in the back and it does work. Just doesn't give the washed out watercolor effects obviously. She used a water brush with Inktense in Imagimorphia and I know the paper in my Animorphia feels very nice to I may try them out in it too. Just a thought - something many of us may already have and want to give it a try in some of our existing coloring stashes as well as Magical City! The blender effect was really nice in Imagimorphia (she's done pages with a blender and with a water brush so there's examples of both). Using the scribbled lines on the larger animal to base the darker colors and work around. I'm definitely giving that a try and thought everyone here might find it interesting as well!

[@Lareeh88]

Hi I think I'm in the same boat as you, mine Is not that thick and I'm from the uk so maybe we have the same batch I think mine is from Italy as well. Could you please tell us where yours is printed Peta. Many thanks

[@melissakyzar9217]

Australia. I recall from her walk through video on the book and I could see the print info. No way to get one like it unfortunately!! I'm not pre-ordering the next ones because I want to see the reviews on the paper and see if it's possibles to get one with better paper quality.

[@jenniferthomas8932]

+Melissa Kyzar Lizzie Mary Cullen has a KZbin channel and reads her comments. I bet if you comment about your issues or ask her she could let you know or do something. Not ones already at the press but u know from here on out. Maybe we could get another edition printed of The Magical City from a different publisher or with better paper. But I'm sure she is aware of the new trend of using watercolor or inktense because she commented on Peta's first video where she reviewed the book. And she knows Peta has a big following and that more and more ppl are trying this out and coloring with Peta, which is a joy as always and with all her videos! I'm sure she has addressed the paper issue because of more and more ppl using Peta's awesome technique. It's like Lizzie's work was just made for inktense. They just go hand in hand and we just needed Peta to show us the connection! Lol.but she will see the comments if you would like to ask about it or what not

[@melissakyzar9217]

Not a bad idea! I tried my book today with a different Waterbrush and it works a bit better but if the brush puts out more than a barely damp amount of water you get bleed through. And blending is difficult. But I shall start an official page. I've been practicing with the beginning pages so as not to mess up a real scene! There are a couple at the beginning with the same art so I tried them with my new brush.

[@TheFabulousIdiot]

Bravo, bravo👏👏👏!

[@ellym279]

Thank for the leaves and flowers.

[@melissakyzar9217]

I am happy to report that I tested a new waterbrush exactly like the one used here in an intro page in my book and had better success than I had before with my other one. Still have to have a barely damp brush but the water flow is a bit better on this one. If it puts out too much water I blot it out, let it dry before workin that area. If you blend too much with more than a damp brush it bleeds through. It's all about the water amount! But now I am ready to start first real my page of Magical City - Yay!!!

[@dianneallen583]

Where are your new tutorials? I have watched them all and learned so much.

[@littlewitch8954]

Hi Peta,your tutorials are great ! I´m a beginner and your videos are very helpful.Thanks a lot !!! Please make more of Magical city and perhaps from the book Dagdrömmar ( with Prismacolor pencis).

[@sallycerda8930]

nice coloring love it :)

[@elizabetreniart8781]

Omg this is beautiful. I use inktense pencils too. But you are expert 💛🤓

[@JuliannaKahn]

Thank you so much Peta, I love, love, love your coloring of the Magical City. I am trying to duplicate some of what you are doing with my watercolor pencils and it doesn't even come close. I'm wondering if watercolor pencils are not the right medium or if I am just not the talented artist that you are. Please do more of these.

[@PetaHewitt]

Hi Julianna. watercolour pencils are just fine, I have some of those too. but I love my Inktense. the difference, as you have probably noticed is: Inktense are far darker and brighter which is why my pages look so colour dense. Watercolours are lighter and tend to go a bit lighter still when you activate them with water. Also Inktense are permanent. Once they dry they no longer move. Watercolours will reactive when you wet them again and will mix and move with the next layer of colour. I hope this helps.

[@JuliannaKahn]

Thank you so much for your kind reply Peta. Your explanation that watercolors go light makes a lot of sense. Your advice has been very helpful.

[@cynthiarichter792]

I just bought the Inktense blocks and am hoping I can use them for this.

[@marciabosworth9470]

I have finished!!

[@mariekozma6867]

Very nice!

[@barbaranichols1348]

Hi Peta! I am a new viewer and find your videos mesmerizing!! I have just got my new set of pencils and am needing something to smooth everything out ...they are wax based so dont think your water brush will work with them? What would you suggest? Thanks so much for sharing so much with all of us....💕....Barbara

[@erinmccoy1686]

Barbara Nichols I also use wax-based pencils. You can use a blender pencil or even lighter colors to blend them together, depending on the look that you like. Pencil quality is where this makes a difference, so that's why many people prefer artist quality pencils. Hope that helps :)

[@barbaranichols1348]

Erin McCoy Thanks for your suggestions!

[@jrm9366]

Fantastic.... no words....

[@sugarcandy243]

Hi Peta! As always, lovely tutorial. When I try watercolour in my books (mainly Lost Ocean), I get either too much water from my water brush (paper gets soaked) or too little (I can't move colors around). Which brush do you use in particular? I'd like to try that and see if it makes a difference!

[@thearnavgarg]

Hi Peta! Love your work... I was wondering, do inktense pencils work well in Johanna Basford's books?

[@marizen2]

Hi Peta, would the water damage the paper in a coloring book like the Magic Jungle Coloring book? Thanks for sharing.

[@misschip420]

marizen2 ive used it in my magical jungle and her other books and as long as you arent very heavy with the water it holds up really well. any paper that isnt designed to hold water will always crinkle a bit but it can be flattened under heavy books

[@delladearest2511]

Amy Wood Would prepping the paper with Gesso work? Thanks

[@wendykrzak7652]

thank you😊

[@kathystankiewicz3416]

PETA, does the water bleed through the page? Are you able to color the image on the backside of this page?

[@julieb7580]

Hi Peta, Great video. My husband gave me the full set of Inktense for Christmas! I'm starting to use them and have a question. Do you always color a section and then activate it or are you doing that because it's a tutorial? Is there a reason one can't color the whole page and then activate it?

[@NameIsPauPau]

Julie B it could be done both ways, it is a matter of wich one do you enjoy more but the most common way is the one she uses here, cus this are not watercolors they are ink colors so the ink wont reactivate once it is dry, so you can layer it sorry if any spelling or gramatic is wrong, english is not my first language

[@julieb7580]

Thanks!

[@TheJessica8155]

where can I find a tutorial on mendela animal coloring??

[@andreeasirbeanu134]

what waterbrush is that yellow one? it's the perfect size

[@xxShaantjexx]

looks a lot like the Kuretake waterbrush detailer tip

[@ShelleensCreativityRoom]

Thank you so much.

[@wendykrzak7652]

what is the brand of pencil are you using?

[@PetaHewitt]

Hi Wendy, these are Derwent Inktense Pencils.

[@lorimulder9836]

would you be willing to do this picture in markers?

[@PetaHewitt]

Not with alcohol based as they would ruin the picture behind. I could use Tombows or other water based markers in this book but getting nice gradients would be difficult. A combination of markers and pencils over the top for depth and interest would work well.

[@sherryrector2275]

Once again the sound has cut out. At 24:45. 26:47 still no sound. I’m done. Hope the next time the sound is fixed. Disappointed ☹️

[@geraldkeshawn3755]

Aomgggggg 1 hour ago

[@sherryrector2275]

There is sporadic voice and music enough to make me stop watching. Do not understand the problem

[@barbarahowell2549]

I thought it was my computer, but if the sound kept cutting out for you too then it wasn't my computer.
