Thanks from Long Island New York !! I haven't done backgrounds yet,I'ive been too intimidated ,ha ha. Love listening to your soothing voice and accent.
Thanks so much Laureen 🌸 I must say that if you want to try backgrounds for the first time, either doing them like this with gel crayons, or else using soft pastels is probably the easiest way to start.
I don't always do backgrounds, but when I do I love using gel crayons. So quick and easy and gives a nice look. Thanks for sharing your technique!
Thanks so much for watching 🌸
Hi Liz! I used my King Art mixed media ones for the first time yesterday on two images and I absolutely love them! Using this technique adds so much beauty to my coloring pages! Always needed a little something to make completed pages pop!! Thanks for sharing this!!
Thanks so much for the comment. I think the King Art gel crayons are really popular in the US. We don’t get them here in South Africa, but I think that most gel crayons are very similar. I am so pleased you found this tutorial helpful.
I rarely color anymore, as a friend asked for help learning to draw and I fell in love with my first passion. Today, I bought a set of inexpensive Kingart gel sticks to try on the background of my current drawing. I wasn't sure how to use them. All the other videos I found used them with water. Thank you for showing this dry method. I was lucky and had everything I needed. I did a sample and it's perfect! You have subscribed to your channel.
That’s wonderful, thanks so much. I’m really happy that you found something useful 🌸
@@LizatHome You're welcome. I'm so happy I found your channel. I can't wait to see more from you. Hubby golfs tomorrow, so I plan on taking time to binge-watch your past videos.
I have seen these on Amazon, just wondering why u don't use them directly on the coloring book? I would like to give these a go,i can't afford neo color 2
That’s a good question, I haven’t actually tried them in a book as part of the picture yet, but perhaps I should give it a try.
Very helpful video. Thank you for your hints and tips xxx
I’m just learning how to use these crayons ❤😊❤
That’s great. Enjoy them and thanks for watching 🌸
Thank you for sharing the whole process from cleaning to application. Looking forward to seeing your completed page. I am reluctant to use my silk crayons as they do transfer (I don't have fixative, it may go through?) and they are hard work. Hope you have a super holiday.
I hope that you give them a try soon. I would really recommend you try getting some of those brushes. They make all the difference.
@@LizatHome I have a spare palette and will try my new brushes like yours - thank you.
Wow! Great video never even heard of gel crayons. Thanks I'm gonna buy some now.
Great. I really hope you will use my links to start looking for them? It really helps me so much. I am really pleased you enjoyed the video.
It turned out So pretty! Lovely blues. I hope to get some gel crayons soon...Thanks for showing your technique...have a wonderful holiday!🙋🌺
Thanks so much Valerie. I hope you do get some soon.
Hello Liz!! I just got a set of Gelatos and was wondering what I was going to use them for. Thanks for the lesson. I like very much how your background came out and didn't take as much work as with some mediums. Have a wonderful and fun holiday!!
Thanks so much. I hope you give it a try. It’s a really quick and easy background solution.
thank you, very interesting
You’re very welcome 🌸 thanks for watching 🌼
I hope you choose Green for the bottom. Best wishes. 😃🖐️
Hi Liz. I recently purchased the gelato’s and have not used them yet. Thank you for sharing how you use the silk crayons. I love the effect.
You're very welcome. I didn't add links to anything in this video as I uploaded it just before leaving on holiday and didn't have time. I would really suggest you treat yourself to some of the brushes if they fit your budget, as they make a huge difference in the application. Here's a link to the type of brushes I used: amzn.to/3MRdwRQ
I might try a textured gravel area on the bottom
Great idea, thanks.
Hi, thank you for your video! I know that I didn't see you use water and you didn't say to use any water, but I just wanted to make positive for sure I shouldn't use any liquid. Also, can I spray the fixative prior to coloring the page? I put the Krylon Fixative in my Amazon cart - is that the right one? Your help is appreciated, I hope you had a nice Holiday!
Hello Angela. Thanks for watching and asking questions. No water to be used when using this method. I only spray the fixative after coloring the page. I prefer using Grumbacher workable fixative, I will go to my computer just now and look for a link for you. Krylon is a good make but I have had a few instances when using it, where a fineliner that I had used, all of a sudden bleeds through to the back of the page after using the Krylon. I think something in the mixture melts the ink 🖊 or something, so I don’t use it anymore, except on single sided pages. This has never happened with the Grumbacher.
@@LizatHome Oh wow! Thank you Liz! That's so helpful! I'll look for it now and I hate to put you to any trouble, but if I can't find it I'll check back! Have a great evening, or day...not sure what time it is there, I'm hooked on finishing an Owl coloring in Secret Garden! 💜
@@amoore7960 Hello again, I am presuming you are in the US. It seems that the Grumbacher is not available on Amazon there right now:

But it is available at Dick Blick:
www.dickblick.com/products/grumbacher-workable-fixative/
I hope this helps. Amazon advertises a Sennelier one as well, but I've not tried it with adult coloring pages.
How you us gel that never us gel pin I us
Hi Dawn, I am sorry but I don’t understand your question?
