September 2024 completed pages... with a very special three-person buddy colour :) | Adult Colouring

[@ColouringwithK]

Gorgeous pages Connie, a great month of colouring! Thanks for the buddy colour, it was fab and I really loved your mirror look water and backgrounds ❤

[@colouringchemist]

Thank you so much, K! :) And thank you so much for doing the buddy colour with me! I don't do very many of them at all and it was super special to be able to do one with you and Maia. :)

[@phyllisjett9650]

I am so glad to know there are others in the coloring community who have trouble visualizing a page before you start. I actually feel like I don't have that DNA strand or whatever it is. I do my coloring exactly like you. Pick up a pencil and start! Very lovely mandala!!

[@elizabetheliuk9373]

So do I sometimes although I try to plan the bigger projects.

[@colouringchemist]

So glad you enjoyed the video! :)

I absolutely LOVE how the black moth/butterfly page turned out! It’s probably one of those pages that you wouldn’t be able to recreate if you tried because of all the different things you did and products you used, and even though it didn’t turn out like you originally envisioned, I think it turned out stunning. Way to persevere through the page and get it done.

[@colouringchemist]

Awww... Thank you! :) Truthfully - I'm not sure I could reproduce most of my pages. :) Because my brain doesn't seem able to "picture" a page before I start, I just kind of start colouring and whatever happens, happens. But it also means that I'm never entirely sure how to reproduce what I've done. Some of the more simple, straightforward techniques I try I can usually reproduce but other... not so much. ;) :)

[@cinqcolours]

I view it all as a learning process. Because if I just keep colouring the same way over and over again, unless I’m just doing it for relaxation (like basic marker work, putting colour on paper), the hobby will get stagnant and I won’t enjoy it as much anymore. Some pages turn out fantastic and some… not so much. But I still enjoy the process and if I don’t like how something turned out, knowing that maybe I should be thankful I learned from it… even if I sometimes cringe when I look at it! 😂

Your butterfly is so cooooooollll!!! Your autumn winds is beautiful! Really love it!! I like your gnome!!! The flower page just jumps with that background! I really like all three of yours! They are so different but the same!!! They are lovely!!! Thanks for sharing this was fun!!!

[@kirstendecoster3201]

Hi, you did some lovely pages again! I love your shiny backgrounds and it was nice to see your buddy colour. I have that mandala book too, but I've only done a couple of pages in it. I used to be a teacher too, so I totally get that you're extremely busy and tired right now. It'll get better soon ❤

Awww... thank you! :)

I love your fairytales and folklore pages! I’m also in love with that book. I waited forever for it!! The only downside I have with the paper is how my new polychromos pencils work on it. Not the best, but def close to it!! That metallic effect you’ve been loving is awesome by the way!!

[@colouringchemist]

I haven't used my Polychromos pencils in that book yet so I'll have to see how they work. :) And thank you for your kind words! :)

Connie !!!!! Amazing pages my sweet friend !!!! Love the buddy color page !!!your use of neocolor 1 metallic is ground-breaking !!! I have that set and have never used them lol but you inspire me to do so ! Hope the weather cools down for you in your area soon and you can enjoy a cup of warm tea and some coloring !!1 by the way its so funny but i recently ordered buscuit tea as well and im obsessed with it, i saw it on a youtube channel that i follow Brocolli mum, shes from the UK ! How funny is that, we are on the same wavelenghth !! So sorry ive been missing in the comments i have to catch up on my youtube video watching, ive been really busy lately, we are working on our yard and we’ve had a lot of construction on your yard this summer , ive been super busy this past 2 weeks ! Hope you are doing well my dear ! Xooooxxxxxooxox

[@colouringchemist]

Same tea wavelength - too cute!! :) Thank you so, so much, dear Maia, for your support and your friendship and for buddy colouring with me! I loved your page (as I love all your pages :)) and I always learn something when I watch your videos. :) You should definitely try the buffed Neo I technique - it gives a pretty neat effect! Hope the work on your home and yard has gone (or is going!) smoothly! Take care!!

Connie would you do a demo of how you. buff the Neocolor 1 metallic crayons? I would love to learn that pretty please?

[@colouringchemist]

I did a "tutorial" video on that technique a little while ago (but it's not the greatest tutorial - I had issues ;) :)) - here's a link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3O0hGetZdVkpqs If you'd like to skip directly to the part where I start buffing (I just use a facial tissue on my finger), that starts here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3O0hGetZdVkpqs?si=vXY-1QFsy0aaREKD&t=1880 Hope that helps! :)

Hi, love your videos! I especially loved the metallic shine on the water done with Neocolor 1. You said you put the crayon down and then buffed it to get the shine. How do you “buff”? Does it transfer to the opposite page or do you put paper between? Aloha Sharon from Hawaii

[@colouringchemist]

I put a protector sheet in between my pages just in case. :) Hope that helps! And hello back from Canada! :)

[@Carebear877]

Have you tried the pastel metallic paints, for wings?

[@colouringchemist]

Great idea - thanks! :)

[@Carebear877]

On the Kwik sticks is it the quick drying one or the washable?

[@colouringchemist]

I believe the ones I have are the quick-drying ones. :)

[@elizabetheliuk9373]

So how do you blend it altogether to make it look so cohesive. It’s beautiful. Do you use your fingers or a blending tool?

[@colouringchemist]

Do you mean the tempera paint stick background? I go over the matte colours with one of the more sheer metallic sticks. The tempera paint dries so quickly that you really can't blend them. The more sheet metallic tempera paint helps to hide some of the streakiness and non-blending. :)

[@catherinechinoy2774]

I wonder what would happen if you put fixative over masking? Might be worth a try (on a scrap paper maybe) I don’t have oil pastels or I’d try myself

[@colouringchemist]

I'll have to try it sometime! :)

[@shellyt2906]

Can I ask what black pen did you use for the background on a few of the pages…I think you said it was a zig something? It looks like black velvet…no streaks at all!

[@colouringchemist]

Absolutely! It's a Zig Art & Graphic Twin marker - I buy them through open stock from Marker Supply online: www.markersupply.com/zigartgrtwma.html They're a water-based ink marker but they are quite "juicy" so definitely do a test first to make sure the ink isn't going to bleed through or ghost through your page. :) Hope that helps!

[@mygardencart9060]

hello, may i first say how much i enjoy watching and listening to your videos :-) they make me happy and keep me company. also, may i ask, on the very first colored page, the mandala, you said you used a black "glaze" pen. what pen is that?

[@colouringchemist]

So glad you're liking the videos! :) The black glaze pen I mentioned is the Sakura Gelly Roll Black Glaze pen. Hope that helps!
