What’s in my colouring bag for August 2024? | Adult colouring

[@AntoniaTamburello-cg4ro]

I love 💕 your choices of coloring books 📕 ❤🎉😊

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you! 🤗

[@charityariverpixie998]

Beautiful choices ❤I did laugh as the books kept on coming ! X

Thank you 😁

I always choose too many when planning my month. Whatever you manage to get done will be just lovely. I feel out of touch with books lately. You have so many awesome ones I’ve never seen before. Have fun coloring and enjoy your vacation ☺️❤️

[@ColouringwithK]

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one choosing so many books over the month and I know what you mean about feeling out of touch with books sometimes, I find doing something else, like another hobby such as diamond painting, etc. helps and then I feel more motivated for colouring too. Take care 😊

[@studioandromedawn4838]

Yep! Agree, K. I go from drawing to coloring to painting and even, on occasion, to making mixed media art pieces out of cardboard and sundry objects and paint etc(mainly wall art like doll homes and miniature rooms). I call it “cleansing my palate” and it refreshes my desire to go back to my drawing in my storybook-like art journals(am soom to be creating my own memoir this way) and coloring too!

[@lindseybrett3288]

Lovely choices K look forward to see your pages 😊💖

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Amazing choices K i always love to see these videos by you! And yes watercolors work great in the garden enchantments book! Yay can’t wait to see what makes the final cut! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ColouringwithK]

That’s fab, thanks for letting me know Maia - look forward to our three way buddy colour ❤️😊

[@janlorman7700]

For learning to draw, there’s no better book than Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. Get the newest edition you can find. A classic and wonderful. 👍

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks for letting me know, will check it out 😊

[@studioandromedawn4838]

I second that. Wonderful book.

[@maryfeist8080]

Thank you for sharing your coloring plans! I am working my first page in eriy, second tale. I fly by the seat of my pants. Don't really plan too much ahead like you do. I would love to see you color the sewing room!

[@ColouringwithK]

Hope your page in Eriy is going well 😊

[@sherrydennewitz5011]

Hi K You have picked some Beautiful Pages, to Color! Enjoy your coloring journey in August!😊

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you so much!

[@randomstuffaustralia4074]

Can't wait to see how they turn out 😊

[@studioandromedawn4838]

As ever, gorgeous picks! I have almost all of these as well…although I haven’t been doing much coloring this summer-I am drawing and sketching and painting (acrylic, gouache and watercolor) in my own artbooks(art journals full of my own created characters and stories). I loooooooove to draw and create my own stories, graphic style. I have been doing this since I was 5. For me, adult coloring is mainly as a “palate cleanser “ and a creative break/warmup between my actual favorite artistic hobby(drawing and painting and creating stories in my hardback, 11”x8”/12”x9” journals.) I also try out new techniques this way. So, all of this is to ask you: what sketching books have you purchased? I am intrigued. I think you are a natural for sketching tbh because you have a great grasp of color combinations and are very good at coloring creatively. You are also(in my view) quite disciplined. Hope to see some of your sketches soon! Have a great day/week/month and rest of the year!

[@ColouringwithK]

Wow that’s amazing to hear. I haven’t actually had much time to sketch so far this month, as for some, reason I’ve been quite busy with everyday stuff 😞 I did buy a square Ohuhu sketchbook and a watercolour sketchbook from Amazon Japan. I also have a few Ranger mixed media journals in which k like to create although I’m rubbish at drawing tbh

[@studioandromedawn4838]

Nobody starts out knowing immediately how to draw. Nobody! I began of my own volition at 4-5 yrs old; and my interest in drawing kept me at it. Now, I can draw in a variety of styles from hyper-realism to anime/manga to cartoony. I also love to paint in watercolor and acrylic and am now beginning in gouache and later, cross fingers!, will go to oil paints. All while never having been instructed professionally. As Pablo Picasso once said, “Inspiration has to find you working”. And YOU, K? Are very dedicated. So as long as you will actually enjoy and get into what we artists call “flow”(a very ecstatic state of mind whilst creating in progress) you will definitely improve! Happy Drawing and Coloring Travels! PS: I call myself a Drawist. My word for what I love to do most! 😊

[@lambgamcolorjam5456]

You and Maia are the BEST! My bank account may not agree but that's okay. 🤣🤩

[@ColouringwithK]

I would love a list of your books, especially the Townscapes.

[@anikrossignol8809]

Animaux des bois has a legend in the back that explains which animal or bird are on the colouring pages 😊

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks for reminding me!

[@lovetobecolouring2]

Hi K beautiful choices for August 😊 enjoy your colouring 💜

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you! 🤗

[@lesliefox5853]

Me too! I really want to color in the bug book and I hate bugs.

[@diamondslashranch]

So many beautiful books and if your lovely work is mediocre then there is no hope for me😂😂. Seriously you can’t go wrong with any of these books.

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you!

[@susieone5818]

Hi K, lovely choices. For info 'Pays des Merveilles' means 'Wonderland'.😊

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks for letting me know! 😊

[@enchantedcolours2023]

Some lovely choices k I wouldn't be able to do all even if I had all rhe books in the world I also just chose my books for August yesterday I have a cold currently so not sure if I'm gonna even colour all but rooms of wonder is in my pile 🙃 I chose some same rooms I only got the book this week and have 2 pages done so far absolutely love it I got it on special hoping in the coming months worlds of wonder go on special because they can be very expensive here in south Africa

[@ColouringwithK]

I really like the rooms of wonder book too, the pictures are lovely. Hope you manage to colour some pages this month even though you’re not feeling too well. Take care 😊

[@danallshaw1131]

Kate, you were a big inspiration on me getting another Japanese coloring book. "A Passion for Japan". Sara Muzio..Artist.

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks, hope you enjoy the book

[@countrygirl4422]

K have you ever seen a Japanese book called Rabbit Girl? It's so cute I saw it on Lucy's channel. I love the watercolor book I can't wait to see you color in that book. I absolutely love the Japanese and Korean books they are beautiful.

[@ColouringwithK]

No I’ve not seen that one, will try to find it, thanks for letting me know 😊

[@mugglewitch75]

Hope you get to color all of those pages! How long does it take for you to color a page?

[@ColouringwithK]

I’m trying to colour as many pages as possible. It takes me quite a long time as I like to use a variety of mediums so I would say approx 8h on average, to all in one sitting though!

[@mugglewitch75]

@@ColouringwithK It takes me 2x as long. I wish I was faster and used more mediums.

[@annamarielewis7078]

I subscribed for your beautiful accent 🩷💜💙🩵

[@ColouringwithK]

Aww thank you so much!

[@ElizabethWilson-r9s]

I did a page in the Desert Fox companion book. I think the pages are the same. Almost all Albrecht Durer. Had no problems. Huh. Can I post a picture?

[@ColouringwithK]

That’s great, I would love to see your page, you could send it on Instagram if you have it! 😊
