Because Art is good for the Soul! Follow along with me as transition from being not only an adult colorist but to an artist in my own right, creating original works of art using colored pencils, paint and pastels and then turning those pieces into coloring pages for all to enjoy. Most of my videos are created in real time, so you can follow along with my ups and downs. I'm learning as I go and hopefully teaching you some things along the way too.

Hi, I tried to follow Bonnie and she is wonderful except I got way overwhelmed.
@@BearNecessities-f3o I totally get that! The thing that worked best for me was to watch her tutorials all the way through. She has some wonderful advice to share and I learned a lot without following along. Then I just did my own thing and used the info she gave during the process.
Love hearing your thoughts. Love the real time! Thank you so very much
Hello, I enjoy your work and style and teaching. Thank you I am gaining so much,
@@BearNecessities-f3o Thank you for that wonderful comment. I really appreciate it and am very happy you are enjoying the videos ❤️
Mars; as in the red planet 🤔
It's a duo-tang😊
These paints and colors are beautiful!! Love your swatch sheet the hearts are so cute. Do you have a printable of this??
@@TanyaDarvell hi Tanya. Sorry. No printable for this one. ❤️
@ I am so sorry I was not yet to the point in your video where you explain it was a stamp from hobby lobby🤦♀️.
amazing i love it
i love your pastel animal art and color pencil animal art i hope to see u do more videos of that please i would love it if u would draw horse in color pencil
@@tashaannakers1806 Thank you so much Tasha. I really appreciate your kind words. It’s been quite a while since I made any new content. I just wasn’t getting the views or engagement that would make creating these kinds of videos worth the time it takes to make them. Life has taken me down a different path for now. ❤️❤️❤️
never give up your amazing artist i do artwork too i get down somtimes too but iv kept goin i started drawing at five year old im 22 now im proud of it im proud of u doing good job on your artwork like the dog and puppy one was my favorite alot like i watched it alot cause i love watching people drawing animals
Lovely work! TYFS! Rather than pricey gelatos, I like using distress ink because I also use them in my junk journals and don’t have much storage space LOL. Look forward to seeing more from you. 😻
Hello! So glad I found this channel. 😊
@@buttercupsandlegobricks Thats very kind of you. 😊 Unfortunately life has taken me away from my channel for now. But there is still lots of content to check out! ❤️❤️❤️
With paper do you print it on ?
@@irmaweijermars8530 I use several different papers Irma. And honestly I can’t remember which I used as this video is several years old. But I have used the gelatos with all of them, and they work equally well.
WOOWW, all done, looks just amazing, thank you thank you for all your time, much appreciated. I know you’re taking a break from youtube but I hope you come back soon with more drafting film tutorials. Take care and all the best 🥰
Thank you very much Sylvia. ❤❤❤
Hi Karen, just love drawing along with you, I’ve done the leopard and it looked just like yours, amazingly beautiful💕can’t wait to do part 3 of the cat, it’s looking beautiful, you make all this so easy to do as we follow you. Thanks so much for the drafting film tutorials, hope you will make more in the future 🥰
@@sylviarozsa140 I’m so happy you are enjoying the tutorials Sylvia. Your comment gave me a huge smile. 😃
Thank you
I miss your videos! I hope you are well.
So lovely, it’s amazing ❤💐
You very kind. Thank you Emily. 😊
Thanks for the video! Something caught my eye… there’s a wooden set of trays/drawers behind you in the video. I hope it’s for storing pencils. Storage strategies are a big deal to me! lol. Love to know where you got that. Thanks.
@@jodo3k you are most welcome! I actually keep all my pencils organized in pencil cases. The drawers were a thrift store find. 😊
Wow!!! Its amazing❤ Would u please tell what kind of paper did u use for this drawing?
Theese color nearly full package can use in portrait for warm tones landcrape drawers likes tones but it's wax based. Oil based better for details. Genaraly peıples likes Vibrant color but they are natural autumy earth tones. That must be reason of unpopularity
Gracias 🙏
Where can I download the line art?
Hey would you ever do a sasasuge dog ?
@@JasminStukins Hey Jasmin. I’m not doing much creating for the channel lately. That may change. I’m not sure. 😊
Beautiful pic!
My pencils are organized but I can't put stickers on my pencils. ADD here😊
You can write the number on the case
You remind me of Alfons Mucha! My God!
@@willvolny5343 That is the highest of compliments! Thank you very much!❤️❤️❤️
Love this. I wanted to do one too, but got caught up on what would happen if I got new colors. Having one color family per page is an excellent idea, and it looks really pretty too. Think I'll use this method myself, thank you!
I like the idea of numbering the pencils. My eyes arent great anymore and would help me. I cant hardly read that metallic print they use.
@@TravisBrady-wn8fr I agree! It’s been a huge help!❤️
Are you selling your chart set?
@@Jill-hl2tj I started to prepare it and never got it completed. 😓
I love how you show your struggle to keep the light/white because it gives me hope that someone of your caliber struggles with the same things I do. Even the way you will do something & realize that you wished you had done something else. These are things that help me not give up & quit. Don't even get me started on all of the tips in your videos...I LOVE your tutorials.
@@deannasinkinspirations9302 oh thank you so much Deanna. That means a lot to me. ❤️❤️❤️
I feel like I've joined a little club or focus group of students or spectators who are watching one demo after another, done by good artists all having a go with these pencils.🤗 It's very exciting to see people with technical skill and experience having that first encounter, and then producing something suited to demonstrate what the pencils will do. It is certainly making me more determined to get a set for myself eventually and try my beginner's hand at some basic sketches of trees, fields and sky. These have always fascinated me; I love watching a good artist producing a nature study. It certainly motivates me to improve my skill at drawing trees. 🤗
I am having issues with getting the white fur on the neck of a dog to just look right. What would be your suggestion for cleaning it up a bit? Mind you, this is my first attempt at colored pencil. Where can I send you a picture? There is no way to attach a pic here. Thanks a bunch...
Great idea. Think ill throw on a show and do the same.
Bristol velum...ohh in the usa only...but best...for me
Brilliant work! Thank you very much for sharing!
@@zhanna8632 Glad you enjoyed the video!❤️😊❤️
I really love all of your hand drawn art 🤩
Thank you sweet friend ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely
wonderful learning video
Thank you Linda! I’m glad you liked it!
Thank you for the tutorials for modern day Athena!
You are most welcome Stacie! She’s one of my favorites!❤️❤️❤️
What type of brush are you using when you’re cleaning off the page?
Any type of big fluffy brush will work Emily. Like a makeup powder brush.
Good afternoon. I have watched this video twice. It is amazing. Your artwork is excellent. I love your instructions and techniques. I have the 33 piece gift set 2. I had it since 2020. Didn't know how to use them. Also, heard negative comments about them. So, I just placed them away in my art room. But, this year is a new beginning. I have all the tools: Ohulu Honolulu Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils, NEOCOLOR II WATER SOLUBLE WAX PASTELS, Distress oxide inks and regular oxide inks and more. 😂 I am sure I will return to this video often. Thanks for sharing your talent with me. God bless you.
What a lovely comment! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. I’ve put things aside myself, only to discover them Later and love them. Have fun and happy coloring!❤️❤️❤️
Very beautiful
I'm not that organized. I'm very haphazard in my method. There's madness to my method. I grab a color and run with it. However, I am not nearly as artistic as you. Your art is beautiful. I did try to organize my pencils by color. I managed that much. I printed out a swatch chart, filled it out, and used someone else's system. It seems to work better than my own. I do admire your organizational skills.
Your method is perfectly acceptable too Barbara! ❤️ We should all do what works best for us.
It's beautiful! Thank you for the "draw along" videos, this is where I learn the most. xx
Thank you so much! I agree! That’s how I learn the best too. 😊
I want to tell you and maybe some of your followers that I found the Neenah Desert Storm paper 25 pk for $7.99 + shipping at Simon Says Stamp.
That’s great! Thank you!❤️
I finally finished my Jaguar, it looks almost like yours, I love it ❤️You are amazing and so interesting to follow, I have learned so much. I hope you would consider making some type of bird on paper or film, would love to follow and learn. Take care 😎💕
Thank you Sylvia! That makes me happy!❤️❤️❤️ I’m taking a break from TH-cam but I will definitely consider a bird when I come back. 😊
What's the brand you're using?
They are Caran D’Ache Luminance pencils Peggy. 😊
Just finished part 6, I am really impressing myself. You are amazing to follow, just loving this, thanks so much 💕👌
Thank you so much Sylvia. That’s wonderful to hear. ❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad you had fun.
The first one I think is a cerval cat???
