Finally, a complete instruction on coloring grayscale!! I absolutely love your style of teaching combined with Color Along on Real Time! I’ve sent this video out to a few people. Thank you!!

[@RuthSanderson]

You are so welcome!

[@MultiDebsta]

I have just discovered Greyscale......like an hour ago. I don't know how, it just caught my eye and here i am. I have always loved colouring and was so drawn to this. This was a great tutorial and so relaxing to watch also loved the back ground music, easy to follow too. You are so talented and you made me believe that i could do this myself. Thank you.

[@RuthSanderson]

You are most welcome!

[@arletbode4847]

Ruth I am a huge fan of your art! I got your golden dreams book and can’t wait to receive it! Your art blows me away.

[@RuthSanderson]

Thanks so much! Apologies for the belated reply.

[@yonnie1954]

I don't know why I haven't seen your channel before now! Oh my! I learned so much just this morning. I understand more about the layering and the use of gamsol than I've learned in the past 6 months. I'm a "1 year old newbie colorist" and just beginning to think about grayscale because I print my own photographs in grey to pencil color. Thank you! You have a new subscriber!

[@RuthSanderson]

Thanks for writing--I am so glad to hear the tutorials are helpful for you. Ruth

Being disabled can't afford much after pay my bills nothing left. Truly❤ would. Thanks for all you do for us. Truly appreciate it so so much. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@windywednesday4166]

I love your tutorials. I tried making my own grayscale Years Ago by taking photographs and running them through the computer and printing it out. I was using ballpoint pen at the time and have since become employed and dropped it. Now that I have a big set of nice colored pencils I want to try it again.

[@lizrobertson0607]

Just getting started with Greyscale coloring and found your site. Love your videos and books. Can’t wait to watch the rest. You explain everything so well.

[@RuthSanderson]

Thanks, Liz, I appreciate hearing this!

[@sockwidowmaker]

Thank you for sharing not only your art but techniques for colouring them. I love your work and found this to be very informative for those new to greyscale.

The gamsol sure does take the hard work away from trying to cover the white spots. Thankyou for third demo .

[@catlady256]

I hate it when lead breaks I keep superglue handy as I hate waste I put a spot of glue into the hollow left on the pencil and push the lead back in, I give it a few minutes to dry and it’s fine, no waste! 😊

[@dioneharbour2088]

Just recently found you through this book on Amazon and I love it. Now I found you video and I joined because your tutorials are so clear! THANKS YOU!

[@syds7135]

I’m Im a new subscriber to your channel. I just bought 3 of your color books from Amazon. I got the Gamsol Spirits too. I've learned a lot about gray scale from you already. Thank you. I’m doing a video today, and telling everyone about your color books and where they can get them. I’m listing your channel in my description area. Thank you for helping me.😁

[@cassandrak9753]

Love the way the skirt turned out. I use a brush but I think I should try a blender now.

[@robinsummers9141]

Ruth I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial! I love your art. I have a book that you and other artists did that sold at the Faerie Store! I really love it. I hit the sub button and will be watching all the videos you do. Thank you for sharing. Your voice is very soothing and you are a great teacher.

[@catrena5051]

thank you for showing me how to color this dress

[@Homeschooling6]

Thank you for this tutorial. I look forward to rewatching and following along. I recently purchased this one and would like to collect the rest of your books 📚 they are so beautiful 😍 I too turn the pencil. I have tried turning the sharpener but it’s hard for me🤓

[@shelesestephens484]

This was a great tutorial for me

[@shirleyvildibill3994]

You have the most informative videos that I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love that they are in real time! 5+ stars!

[@antoinettecantu9051]

I don't know why you don't have more subscribers, you are very good...and very good at explaining everything. I was wondering if you could, pretty please, do a gamsol tutorial. I have tried and tried to use that stuff, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried a paint brush, paper stumps, and q-tips. I just seem to lift color or smear color or something undesirable. I also have tried and tried to do grayscale, you make it look so easy!!!

[@RuthSanderson]

Thanks! Are you using Prismacolors? They are wax-based, which is important. I know other brands have a different binder, some oil based, some water-based... I don't know how those brands would work...You do need to put on many "layers" of color, being very patient and building it up slowly. Think of it like knitting, row after row... I will try to find time for more tutorials!

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

Hi Antoinette. Is it possible your using too much gamsol. your tool just needs to be barely damp with gamsol.

[@tweetly_tweet]

Thank you for providing a wonderful video. It's very lovely and love your art work. Could you please make a continuation of this piece and more tutorials in the future? Greatly appreciated it😊

[@RuthSanderson]

Hi Tracylee, Thanks so much! You can find this as a series. The next one should play automatically but does not, for some reason. Here is the link to the 5-video series: tinyurl.com/y78magu2

[@Maryandtrina]

Have you considered placing the gamsol in an empty alcohol marker?

[@buttercup7900]

I am reasonably new to colouring and have really enjoyed doing it. I find where to put the shading a bit confusing. On the book I already have, the decision would be my own. That is why I have ordered a grayscale book to help me. I love what you have done here I like the natural look of the picture. Thank you for the video

[@marciamullings3787]

Love your coloring just purchased the night before Christmas do you use some markers are all in pencil colored pencil

[@RuthSanderson]

I only use colored pencil for grayscale.

[@marciamullings3787]

Thank you so much for getting back to me do Do you have any pictures of the night before Christmas already down

[@RuthSanderson]

@@marciamullings3787 I do and it is a tutorial of the cover of my Merry Christmas book. I can't do attachments here but if you email me I'd be happy to send it. You have Santa's Christmas? Merry Christmas is my second Christmas book. The tutorial should help with any Santa/night sky picture. [e-mail]

[@shannonwooters3443]

I think the gamsol really gave the dress the look of real fabric..

[@brittanymiller3795]

Can you use any colored pencils on greyscale? I dont have the prisma yet I only have castle, black widow and schpirerr farben. Would those work well on grayscale too?

[@RuthSanderson]

Sorry for the belated reply, I missed your question. You should be able to use any brand over grayscale.

[@amarie849]

Super late reply to the question but I found a lot of people suggest using a harder core pencil for gray scale so you don't cover the gray scale with the prismacolor softcore pencils cause they are super pigmented pencils my first ever gray scale picture I did with a 100 count box of crayola and gamsol and it still turned out lovely! If your using prisma you have to be light handed so you don't completely cover the gray scale in the image :)

[@yazosoyo]

Hi Ruth! I love your art! I’ve tried printing the grayscale pages on a sturdier paper, however I cannot get it to print the grayscale like in the book, I either get a lighter or a darker image. I love the way you approach grayscale! I followed the tutorial on Santa (my 1st ever colored page), I can’t believe what you brought out me! Hopefully you’ll be doing more grayscale tutorials. I now have 2 of your books and I just received one Dream World, the grayscale is quite dark! But I love the images ❤️

[@RuthSanderson]

Most printers have controls to make images lighter or darker.

[@jennifershafley5062]

Love the tutorial! The link to the supplies appears to be not functional. Can you please tell me what the liquid was that you used for blending?

[@sophiaverbree5038]

I realy like to try greyscale now its like anther skill of colouring. but is it also good to colour without the blending stugg? I rarely sharpen my pencil realy sharp unless it goes stumpy.

[@deniseyoung8157]

Thankyou very helpful for my journey with greyscale.👍🏻🌟👏🌈I am trying to purchase your Kum pencil sharpener and not sure which one to get as there is a big choose.Is it Kum AS2 or AS2KM, Two Hole Automatic Long Point Pencil Sharpener?

[@doralevitt2879]

Hi- your video tittle caught my eye because I'm an artist and writer and the book covers that I did for the trilogy I'm writing is all in graphite. Do you think I can lay color over it, or do you think it would come too smeared?

[@NoDontLikeIt]

If you used a matte fixative (also called a workable fixative) to spray your graphite work and then let it dry, you should be able to color over it with no issues. A workable/matte fixative protects the work you’ve already done and allows you to continue layering over it. I like Krylon matte fixative best, but there are many brands. You can find the Krylon on Amazon, at Walmart in either the art department or the paint department, and sometimes at your local craft store. Hope that helps.

[@amarie849]

Idk why this was in my suggestions but new sub :)

[@shannonwooters3443]

Ruth I see some comments here.. are you a book designer as well as a colorist?

[@marciamullings3787]

Thank you so much love the book 😍😏🌹 I have a question for you Do you use Gamsol On your pictures

[@RuthSanderson]

Sometimes I use Gamsol and sometimes a colorless marker. You have to wipe the tip in between colors but it works well. I plan to do a number of new videos this winter and blending will be one of them

[@marciamullings3787]

Thank you so much What about on the night before Christmas do you use it on that

[@millieshome1]

Gamsol is very bad for my lungs, I have asthma and copd.. can you recommend another product?

[@RuthSanderson]

Hmmm, sounds like you might want to avoid mineral spirits altogether, even if they are odorless, like this one. You can burnish with the lightest colored pencil over any given area of color. That's always been the traditional way to blend colored pencils. Or use a colorless blending pencil. Just make sure you have lots of layers to blend. Takes a bit longer than the Gamsol, but works fine.

[@mesquitemamaz]

I've heard baby oil is a good substitute, but I have yet to try it.

[@hollyzessin2886]

millieshome1 Jerrys artarama did a color pencil video and they used a lavender based product for a gamsol substitute.

[@polarbearhero9803]

You can use hand sanitizer.
