[@debbierusso5943]

So glad you are back!!

[@MommyLizzie_Vlogs]

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your techniques!

[@frankiephillips7711]

The butterfly inky butterfly!!! Indigo blue.. purple yellow! I am a newbie to I am learning as well I would love to color my inky butterfly book with you. When did you start it ? How far would I be behind if I started as well. I would love to do it for my granddaughter she is two years old. I’d love to hear you talk your voice is very soothing. went through a lot of channels could not handle voices yours was perfect...

[@gailducrest8851]

Put as much of the Ivy book on videos as you please. If I color along with you, I’d have a chance of finishing the Ivy book as well. Welcome back. I’d given up on you and hadn’t looked in lately because whenever I check on your channel: , bupkis. With such a shock I did finally look in to find you have been making videos since May? Yay!

[@pamelamiller9478]

Really nice combo of greens . Your picture looks very pretty. Thanks so much for the video!

[@rosemaryschneider5680]

Glad you are back. Looking forward to see the butterfly with color choices. Enjoy your tutorials.

[@amarie849]

I was just watching an old video of yours so I left you for you lol glad you uploaded!!

[@janemcdaid-ashburner2408]

I vote for purple, pink and green on the butterfly. Dark purple with red undertone, mid tone pink and bright light green. That will tie in the purples and greens in the flowers and pink to set it off as the focal point. Just my thoughts. It's absolutely beautiful!

[@crystalfranklin2583]

I'm so glad you're making videos again, Erin. I've learned so much from you and have always enjoyed watching and listening to you. I really like how you did the leaves. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge with us. I hope you and your family are all safe & healthy. ❤

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Thanks Crystal!

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

I always love a good swatch. Haha. I would like to see them swatches. I have a set of these pencils but seldom use them since I got Prismacolors. . Good to see you again. Here at 4 AM I couldn’t find anyone to color with. Haha.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I posted the swatching video the other day, so it's there somewhere! I feel you on the 4am. I got up at 5 to color and finish a page I've been working on for what feels like a year lol.

[@puckettrita75]

So glad you are back ! I've missed listening to you while I color or whatnot I found your channel when I first started coloring due to a very traumatic time in my life almost 3 years ago You helped me so much thank you

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I'm so glad I was able to help you through tough times. Hugs, and thanks for watching. 💜

[@cchild12789]

I love swatched videos! It lets me know if certain products are worth investing.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Check back Wednesday! I like swatch vids too. They're like my ASMR. 😌

[@cchild12789]

Simple Art for Adults Swatching videos are what got me into the Colortube world, and reignited my love for coloring for as an adult!

[@dianebrown8152]

Mine also.

[@HillbillyTrash]

It is so awesome that you are back and making videos again Erin!! I hope you and your family are all doing well. I am planning to get these pencils this year. My besties all have them and rave about how much they love them. I do have the supracolours and I've been playing around with those dry too but I want the Pablo's lol

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I have both the Supracolor and the Albrecht Durer on my wishlist. Hopefully one or the other will be my next high-quality set. I've finally gotten to where I can have some fun with my small set of Inktense. :D

[@patriciamoore7414]

I suggest Purple, yellow, and pink for the butterfly...blends of dark to light...even though the spaces are small, you can use at least 2bshades. Or you can use blues, yellow, and pink.... purples, blues, and pink For a more neutral look, mute the colors with Greys. So had to choose....what about leaving the butterflies until the end and coloring them once you see the combinations you used throughout the book?

[@ShainaInColorland]

Wow you color so fast and so beautifully, love watching you color! I would love to see you swatch these pencils, I do enjoy those videos :) I would go with warm colors for the butterfly I think it would be a nice contrast! Maybe some reds 🤷🏻‍♀️ take care and see you next time !

[@sherrykeever8097]

Hi! I am so thankful 8 found your podcast. You are so down to earth and just say things like they are. I am looking forward to watching you working on this book and I will definitely be getting the book as well. I have 3 of Johanna 's books and one more in my Amazon cart. I might add this book as well. As far as the butterfly goes...I'm a purple/pink person also so I would use those and possibly add gold too. Take care and may God bless you always.

[@melissamackey4787]

I think some bronze and or copper and some orange colors would be nice. I see a lot of those colors in butterflies and I love them

[@nancyfenity9817]

You got your Pablos! Congrats! Eighteen months would be an unachievable time for me to color this book. You're very ambitious. Just have fun Erin. No overextending yourself ok? 💛🤗

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Nope! Not overdoing it this time. :) I'm so pleased with them! By far my favorite pencil. I don't know if I'll color it that fast but I can try! Good to see you, Nancy. 💜

[@Kirstycolourandsketch]

Can’t wait to see it completed x

[@delappamy]

It’s nice and your faster then me it takes me days to finish a page but your an expert compared to me. Your like one of my teachers so ty

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

It takes me forever too, Amy. This was just a tiny little page haha.

[@caroldurst1855]

Maybe a really soft yellow with dark purple ??? For the butterfly....I am a newbie. And still learning...lovely !

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Love the yellow and purple idea! Going to wait for some other suggestions and see if I get any. I figure if I color a page in all pinks and keep the butterfly the only thing that's a different color, that's okay because the butterfly *is* the star of the show. :D Thank you!!

[@shellyt2906]

Hi Erin, your page looks great and it is amazing how your style of coloring is just like mine! It was like watching myself coloring lol. Thanks for sharing hun🥰😘

[@tyrenatobin7172]

I would LOVE to see you swatch these!! I love swatch vids. So these are your favourite pencils??

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

They are! They're perfect in every way for me. 💜

[@ashleysworldincolor2195]

I just got this book! I was surprised how big it was, but it's like grail book for me. 🤣 It will take me awhile to finish though.

[@iamjane9628]

I am glad to see you back, Erin. I am curious how you think the Pablos compare to FC Polychromos? Are they similar in feel, and are the colors quite the same between the two lines? I am always looking for new greens to supplement my Polychromos set, and it looks like the Pablos have some unique greens, but it is always a little hard to tell on camera. Thank you !

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I think they're completely different. Pablos are oily, but they're also softer than Polychromos, and the colors are not the same. If I remember I can compare the swatches on a video soon.

[@iamjane9628]

@@SimpleArtforAdults Thank you for the response! This is helpful information. I would love to see a video comparing the color swatches some time.

[@jsscraphappy]

Erin, good video. Try oven cleaner on your Pyrex. I’ve heard it works. Happy Mother’s Day!

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Good idea! Thank you!

[@gnostie]

Oh, finally someone who has Pablos. Please could you tell me if Pablos like then paper in Ivy and Inky? They are a kind of pencil that just wouldn't work on insipid paper, and I'm trying to work out which colouring books I should get to enjoy colouring with Pablos in them.

[@JMHaleSeattle]

Well hello Erin! A TREAT! Have been looking @ Pablos. And YES PLS, wld love to see U swatch Pablos! I assume ideally one wld acquire the largest set? / I started w/ 12 set Polychromos. That’s a very nice set, perfect for learning that pencil. But now that I’ve got more experience, we’ll those Pablos! / Nearly complete in a mandala - colors are greens, turquoise & blues. A lot like your beautiful leaves here. TY for this video. Yippee! Butterflies - pinks w/ yellows, 1 purple. 🐶🤓

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I'd say start with an open stock trio in your favorite colors. If you find yourself reaching for those pencils when you want those colors, then there's a good chance it will be a good investment for you. Thanks so much!

[@gooddollie]

I think either purple and pink for the butterfly or purple and blue.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I did purple and pale yellow! Great suggestions from everyone.

[@kati1514]

You could do the butterfly like a moth with earthy colors and an accent color of choice. Maybe. And I would love to see the Pablo's swatched.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I think I'll do purple and a pale yellow ochre. Thanks so much!

[@kati1514]

@@SimpleArtforAdults that will be beautiful☺

[@brachameansblessing3127]

I'd like to see the Pablo's swatched. They're so expensive it's rare to see any KZbinr use them. 🎨♿👵 Barb

[@mchobbit2951]

More like underrated. Remember, the Luminance and Holbein cost more and you constantly see people use those (at least I do, although not as often as Polychromos and especially Prismacolor).

[@ronnycarter8892]

As I continue to watch you, Inky's name makes me think of the color blue. How about shades of blue for Inky?

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

How do you like Pablos? I have been really hesitant to purchase them just because I've seen some bad reviews on them.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I love them. They're my favorite pencils of all time, even favorite over the Prismacolor. If Polychromos and Prismacolor had a baby, it would be Pablos. They're right smack in the middle.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

@@SimpleArtforAdults Oh interesting. Maybe I'll try them out.

[@FernCurtis]

Hmmm...I have always been partial to aqua type colors going into a darker blue like Indigo or purple....but... don’t know if you have those colors in this set.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I can look and see what I have. I like that idea, too!

[@ronnycarter8892]

Erin, you said in another video that the story tells us that Ivy lives in a pink house. Is there any clues about Inky?

[@sharonvanderpool4611]

I really enjoy watching you color..those pencils look real creamy, are they oil based pencils? Stay safe..❤️

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

They're an oil/wax blend. Thanks for watching, and same to you!

[@cchild12789]

I would say incorporate purple in the buterfly.

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I do think that's the plan. I'm going to go with purple and pale yellow. 💜💛 Thanks!

[@cchild12789]

Simple Art for Adults That will look great!

[@lemoncrinckles]

Hi, Erin. I see you stopped posting about a year ago. I understand...things change in our lives and we have to adapt. Just wanted to tell you I am enjoying your videos and tutorials. Hoping things are well with you.

[@miriamhakimian]

Can you do a detailed video on the pablos? They’re sooo controversial

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Controversial as in... ? I wasn't aware they were controversial at all! I know people argue over the wax/oil, particularly since Caran D'Ache has said all their products are wax, but I'm 99.9% certain there's oil in there. That's the only "controversy" I know of, but feel free to fill me in!

[@miriamhakimian]

Simple Art for Adults there’s a lot of people who love them and other complain that they’re really scratchy and hard colour with Claire has a review on them and she didn’t like it

[@ColouringKid]

Hi Erin, great to see you again! I'm so pleased you've decided to try and complete Ivy and the Inky Butterfly, I'm doing the same with my second copy! Do you want to do a buddy colour?! The butterfly that I'm doing is a dark blue indigo body and then the wings are purple fading into orange and then yellow - I could email you a picture if you want? I found it so hard picking the colour for it because I wanted it to be perfect, so you are not alone! Thank you so much for keeping us all company, loving the content sweeping in through my notifications!! 💕Xx

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

I'd loooove to see your butterfly!! Please do send it! I'm leaning toward those colors as someone else suggested them, too! And I have a buddy color planned for next week but I would love to do one after that. Want to send me some pages you like in that email too? (Ofc cover them a little lol.) Thanks so much for watching! I love, love, love the support from my fellow creators. 💜

[@ColouringKid]

Just sent you the email 💕 It's so lovely having support from everyone, I know how you feel xx

[@BettaBeautiful1]

Black wink of stella????

[@SimpleArtforAdults]

Yep! Black! Came in a trio with clear and gold.

[@sherrypickett4249]

Use oven cleaner.
