I am a Newby to adult coloring ( because I am tired of cross stitching)and I have been coloring like I did as a child, using the dark color to out line and then filling in with a lighter color. I did not know there was so much to adult coloring and you my dear have taken it to the limit. I love your videos that I have seen. I want to watch them all.
Love this video because you are a breath of fresh air. So many youtubers push expensive pencils. It's nice to see a video using cheaper pencils for those who can't afford expensive ones.
Three years of using crayola! Like them fine❤❤
Heavy handed and death gripping, holding the pencil at the back helped me tons
I love me some Pamela! Thank you for always being willing to share your expertise. Watching a second time as a refresher!😊
What a nice tutorial! Thank you!
The butterfly is so amazing... Thank you for your video💗
Thank you so much!
Thank you for using Crayola pencils. I am new at this "adult coloring" at age 82. I am fascinated with it and having a ball! Iam not an artist but I do get some accolades for my coloring.
I love that you’re having so much fun with coloring. I love my Crayolas too!
I also color with my crayola colored pencils for adult coloring 👍
Stunning 😍
Thank you! 😊
Love the butterfly
Thank you!
I have several hi end pencils but just bought 100 count CraZArts and I’m equally impressed. Just finished a coloring page and shocked how intense the blues and oranges were. The pencils work differently on different
papers too. They had a pack of 12 Neons and most are excellent! You do beautiful work- thanks!
I started out with Crayola Pencils. I have prisma also. I still find my self still going back to Crayola. I do use CrazArt also. The Prismas blender pencil works on the Crayola so save your Prisma white. Your white Crayola will blend. Also you can get up to 6 layers with Crayola. One thing I also noticed, was depending on what paper you have is Crayola will fade, even Prisma fades some. It drives me nuts when people put down Crayola. Your work is awesome and love how you show what can be done with them. Also in the 100 set of Crayola pencils there is 6 different grays. And people should check out each Crayola sets. You may find a color in a small set you won't find in a large set. Great job on your tutorial
That is a gorgeous butterfly!! 🦋 It almost looks like stained glass. That color combo would look amazing on some columbine flowers!! 💖
Thank you!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils You are very welcome! 🤗
Have you ever tried the Prang colored pencil sets? I have prang watercolors from the 1960s and they are gorgeous!
I LOVE Crayola colored pencils! I have no complaints about them except that they aren't sold individually. I highly recommend them to everyone!
Hi Pamela, have seen you post new videos in a F.B. Group that we both are in for some time now, but haven’t really paid much attention. However this past week, I saw you post a couple of videos on using Crayola that came across my recommendation list. Curiosity is what made me stop and look to see what you were going to do with them. I, like so many others, started out using Crayola (4 years ago, the 50 pack) and while I now have nicer sets (Prisma, Schpirerr Farben, F.C. Polychromos), I still to this day enjoy using Crayola and do so fairly frequently. Just wanted to thank you for showing new/newer colorists that they don’t really need expensive products to get nice results!
I used these babies for a good year plus before I really started using my next set of pencils, which were the Prismas (lol, had them several months before I even started using them and took me a good year before felt really comfortable with them). I learned how to layer, blend, shade and do shadows with them (Crayola). Being naturally light handed, I can depending on the paper get 8-12 layers with them and I have to say that with Crayola, that is how you are going to get the maximum color out of them...layering them. Going in hard isn’t going to do nearly as nice of a job and....as is true with any other pencil set, including Prisma, you’re not going to be able to get nearly the depth by doing that. Once again, thank you for showing new colorists what is possible with these so underrated pencils! (BTW, I have the 100 count, but not the 120...after seeing you swatch them out... I am so tempted to go ahead and get them...those new blues are to “die for”, plus having a burnt ocher? type color?...definitely something I want to think about!)
I’m so glad you finally stopped by and watched one of my videos. I hope you decide to stay as I have lots more to come. 💕
I just would like to say you are EXCEPTIONALLY great at coloring! I have watched many colorists and your stuff is mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing!!
Your comment made my entire week!! Thank you so much for your kind words.
That's interesting. I always start with my light colors first and then blend upward to my darker colors. I've been working my drawings this way for 75 years.I began with Crayola crayons, they were my favorite media until I went to art school for 4 years in high school and then I upgraded to oils. Now I prefer gouache. It's much better than watercolor. You have to try many media until you find the one that suits you best.
Omg. Ok. Going to get some , gulp, crayola today. I use so much crayola products with my grandkids but going to buy some today for me
I was sitting around with my grandkids tonight using the Crayola Supertips. I just got my own 100 set and I love love love them! I am apparently a Crayola fanatic lately. 😂
You are so good at choosing colors that blend well and look good and very aesthetically pleasing together. I've learned so much from you and really appreciate your efforts and your contribution to the coloring and art community. Thank you!!! ❤
I watch and rewatch many of your videos quite often. There's always more to learn and absorb.
This is very sweet. Thank you so much. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. Have a great day!
I got the crayola 120 color pencils set years ago. I am buying the crayola color pencils 150 set this month. The ones that I will have double of I am giving the 120 set to my mom. I am printing some pages for her from coloring book pdfs I bought. I'm getting that paper mentioned in the description box. I will print my mom some pages onto that paper. I am giving her 5 printed pages to see if she enjoys it. Thank you for showing beginners how to layer with Crayola color pencils. This video is very helpful. I am a beginner at adult coloring. ❤
Thank you, I love the color combination. I have written it down to add to my combination sheet. I will have to eventually get the 120 set now.
To test my skills at shading, I did the same design in monotones. That was an interesting test for my skill. That is to say, you do a picture in all blues. Then another in all reds, or greens. The results are interesting and you learn to use the various hues of blues, or reds or greens and their mates in the same family of colors. I had fun with that practice.
I have been dithering about buying this set. I have the 100 set and used it for close to 2 years before I could afford Prismacolor. You can do some nice work with them. Then I saw this video and said, what the heck, they're cheap. They just came today, haven't had a chance to try them yet, but am about to shortly. Love this combo, BTW.
You will have to let me know what you think after you try them out. I absolutely love them. No, they are not gonna have the same amount of pigment as something like a Prismacolor. But, that’s OK. You can mix them with your Prismacolors and they work wonderfully.
My sharpener is on its way !!! 👏👏👏 This was my first set of pencils last year, but then I got the Prismas !!! But now I remembered
Them in my stash !!! Very nice video & tutorial!!! I picked up a not so great coloring book...for $1.99 at Amazon, 100 Amazing Patterns...
But now , I can see that I can practice with it, and not ruin a great drawing !!!! TFS sweetie👏 🤗🤩🥰👍🏼
Very beautiful love 😍 it.
May you please make more videos with crayola combinations!
Yes, yes, please do!!! 😊
Love the colors, nice job
Thank you!
I’ve been binge watching your videos. Highly informative and you do beautiful work. ❤
@@SandraPujari-Harrian thank you so much 😊
My fave colouring channel ty xxxx
Aww! That is so sweet. I am so glad you're enjoying my channel and videos.
It just goes to show, that blaming the supplies is not always the right answer. I started with crayola and prang my self and colored some interesting galaxies. I've since upgraded to Arteza and Prismacolor. I love the way they blend into each other, but I enjoyed the light layers I could achieve with the hard wax. It's all in perspective, and the grass is always greener mentality we all have sometimes. Wonderful demonstration and great color combination, TFS 👍❤
Absolutely beautiful! You encouraged me to send for thee pencils, now I can hardly wait for them to arrive.
Enjoy them!
Love ❤️ that sharpener!! You suggested it and I am so thankful you did!! Great coloring with Crayolas..😀
I'm so glad you love it as much as I do!
I think I need this set. I have the 100 set, but 20 new colors can't be bad. Crayola was all I had for well over a year until a happy conjunction of a good sale on Prisma and enough money to buy them. You can do some amazing things with them if you work at it. Love your combo, it's really pretty.
Love it. I've had the Crayola 120 for a long time and I LOVE them.
Beautiful colouring just got a set for me used them when I was a little girl xx 😘
They are a classic! I think that’s what’s makes them so special. 💕
@@PamelasPassionforPencils can’t wait for them to come am loving colouring books I’ve had a stroke but pushed myself to to colour I have done an craft exam and passed it just waiting for the certificate to come I won’t give up xx
Loved coloring all my life, started out coloring with Crayolas on the front porch in the 60's...haha. Have been doing adult coloring for many years and learning sooooo much from so many different colorists and artists alike. You are new to me but bring a fresh new perspective to the plate, thank you for sharing your love of the art, I find it so relaxing, being a nurse for decades isn't always a chill occupation. LOL. You have a very soothing voice and explain all your moves so thoroughly. I feel I will never stop learning new ways to re kindle my love for the art. I also subscribed, Blessings to you!
Great tutorial! This video is so helpful for me as a beginner in layering and shading. I always looking forward to see a new video from you. You are a very good teacher. I hope you are going to make a lot of more videos like this in the future.
Yes! Lots more to come. Let me know any suggestions you may have and I’d be glad to put videos together. Check out the Adult Coloring for Beginners Playlist as there are lots of tutorials there you may enjoy. My channel is full of videos just like this one. Enjoy!
Wow you are fabulous ❣️So interesting I shared w my artist daughter. Ty, excellent teaching skills, I enjoyed very much!
Oh thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
hi! im new to your channel and been watching some of your videos and it left me a bit confused, so i was hoping that you could elaborate on some points. When you say "Pull through" do you actually burnish or? and are you going over all the colors with your "cream" color? and are you layering atop of the darker color the the 1. step lighter color (i hope you know what i mean)
Here in Brazil we don't have Crayola, but we have the Eco line, by Faber-Castell, which has the same footprint.
Meanwhile I'm making it do with my 50 color set of Crayola. So far so good 👍🏾
. Thank you so much for having this class.
Thanks for this video. I think Crayola has excellent skin color choices.
Yes they do
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing your color combo and methods with me.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi there Pamela, and a Happy New Year to you, I hope 2021 will bring you happiness and health.
Not managed to watch your videos in a while....life gets in the way, so I've lots to catch up with.
This tutorial caught my eye as I have a set of Cryola pencils and really love them, gorgeous colours, but a little difficult to use. I've never seen anyone do a tutorial with them,so thank you. I just might order myself the 120 set, I think mine is something like 36. Your butterfly is exquisite, such beautiful colours chosen, thanks again 💖
I’m so glad you found some time to sit down and be able to watch some of my videos. Happy Nee Year! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and I hope that it encouraged you to bring out your Crayola ‘s.
That is one gorgeous butterfly.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Great results and beautiful color combinations. I have these in my stash so I’ll definitely give them a try. It will be interesting to see if I can go darker to light which is opposite of what I would normally do. Thanks for doing the hard part and sharing it with us😊
You are awesome . Love to watch you color. I have crayolas and haven’t used them but I will try them now . Thank you for sharing. Love your tutorials .
You are so welcome! I am so glad you enjoy my videos.
Love the colors
Thank you 😊
Yes please more combinations with crayaloa pencils
I always start with the lighter color as the darker colors cover up any mistakes I may have made. I also use the lighter colors as a resist to keep colors out of areas all together.
Artist grade pencils that is true but with Crayola it is best to start with dark and go light
@@tabbylynn4130 I have no experience with artist grade pencil so I don't know how they best work. The crayola pencils I use from light to dark. In very light layers until I get the look that I'm looking for. The only time I don't use light layers is when I use the lighter colors as a resist. Then I use them with pressure to fill/damage the tooth so no other color will lay down there.
Gorgeous shading & color choices!
Thank you.
Looks gorgeous 👏🌈
Thank you!
I love the butterfly! I still use Crayola,even though I have been coloring for a while. 😊
I absolutely love these Crayolas! Happy New Year!
Loved the video and color combinations!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year! 🎊
Beautiful! I love how the colors blended!
Thank you! 😊
Such a beautiful piece. I've went and bought the 120 set immediately! Please make more crayola combos!
I plan on making another video with more color combos! I love the colors in this set. I'm glad you got yourself a set of these. You will have to let me know if you love them.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils I had the 50 set and bring them out every so often, seeing this combo made me jump for the big one!
I am fortunate that I started out with Prismas. But it is amazing to see the wonderful colors this set has. Have you tried mixing with prismas yet? Like you don’t have enough to do already!!! 🥴. Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials. Happy New Year.
Yes! I’ve mixed them with Prismacolor. They work very well together. 💕
would love to see you do the starflower, its usually a pretty blue in the wild...I like the use of crayola I have a set I never use and this will help me a lot
Great show 👋😊👍👍👍
I wish Crayola would release the 120 set in Canada. So frustrating!
Amazing color combo! I just ordered the 120 set! ❤
I hope you love them as much as I do!
I’m so glad you are doing some videos with crayolas,
I love them! More to come soon!
It does look AWSOME,I use Crayola pencils a lot,the colours r absolutely beautiful but I’m thinking I’m a little too heavy handed so will try using a lighter hand for better results 💖💖💖
Yes! Try a lighter hand. If you use a heavy hand with these pencils, you will not achieve the same effects as I showed you in this video. Thanks for watching.
I just bought a set of these for the same reason - I wanted to see what I could do with very basic pencils. I’m doing my first page right now and really like them.
Oh you must share in my Facebook group! I would love to see it!
You are amazing at coloring! Thanks for a great tutorial. People look down on crayola pencils, bit I think they work well.
I have a set of 100 of the adult coloring set stored in a chocolate tin I got from Lidl (old school memories).
How do they compare to the blending and shading pencils or color escapes?
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I have not used the color scapes pencils or any others. I have been looking into getting some so that I could try them out on my channel, but haven’t done so yet. I didn’t even know about the color escapes until yesterday and someone else mentioned them. Have a great day!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils thanks for replying. They have the color escapes and, I think, in their Signature line Blending and Shading pencils designed to be more artistic. I may get some just to see the difference.
Hace a great day!
Awesome combo!
Thank you!
Crayons does have some nice colors 😊 I wish u could buy some of those colors open stock. I think honestly crayola, arteza , Holbein and irojiten have some of the prettiest colors in their sets Iv looked at from what I see on swatches online that might just be imo
Very nice! Any pencil works well for you! I love the blend....I have crayola and prismacolor pencil, need to develop the techniques!
I see you found the Crayola tutorial. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Coloring!
I love those colors together. I going to buy the 120 Crayola now.
I wish I could match and blend colors like you do.
You can! Practice, practice, practice! I hope you love your Crayola pencils when you receive them. ❤
Pretty butterfly, but still not sold on these pencils...I will have to try them with a more open mind.
Thank you for coloring with new & different pencils to expand our range of coloring tools.
Happy New Year...!
I had to bring myself to having an open mind because these pencils are something I wouldn't have ever purchased other than for my children. I am very surprised at how much I am enjoying them. I wouldn't had thought I could make them look as good as something like a Prismacolor. Of course, they don't go down like a Prismacolor, but every pencil is different. Happy New Year! I hope your nephew enjoyed his new coloring book.
@@terrieblazek1834 - Where I come from, a period is seen as a passive aggressive acknowledgment that you saw a person's message, but you can't be bothered to respond back or you don't care to -- yet you want the other person to know you're giving them the silent treatment, so you place a period as a retort. I can't say for sure that this is something you intentionally meant to do, but I thought you should be aware of how weird & rude it looks.
@@YourMajesty143
That was an error as I deleted a question I had for Pamela & write her privately.
I left behind the residue of a period in the process..
That's it.
Period.
@@terrieblazek1834 - I suspected it might've been an error, but I thought to still give a heads up in case you didn't realize it was there, since it looked off-putting. Btw there's a way to delete a message entirely if errors happen, but I think you might've already took care of it.
Thank you for this video! So helpful
I’m so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.
It’s been one year already ( today is 13/2/22 ) but this film crossed my way just today and I LOVE your color combination !!! 🙏🦋😉😃
Oh wow! Has it been that long? This is one of my favorite videos I’ve done. I love my Crayolas. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Happy Coloring! 😞
That's shown me how to get more out of my Crayola's,can't wait to get an atomic tangerine
Oh my goodness.....the color is sooo beautiful! I can't wait to try it with some blues and greens!
I have some of heavy cardstock white printer paper. So now I don't have to buy the other kind. I printed a page on the cardstock paper and I could instantly see the difference compared to printing a coloring page on printer paper.
I use Cra-Z-Art pencils, but I also have the 24-pack of Crayola Colors of the World. I don’t notice any quality difference, but I really enjoy the variety of browns in the Crayola set.
just wondering if some of these amazing colors are in the 100 set?
Some of them are yes, but you get an extra 20 colors with the 120 set.
How did you know what colors to put together?
Pamela, I have watched this video several times but when I start to color on my own I can’t seem to get all the techniques at the right spot. Can you help or refer me to another video that would shed more light for me?
Many thanks
I have so many tutorials on my channel. Maybe try this one. It's been very popular. th-cam.com/video/rE3b_SOx3r0/w-d-xo.html
Glad I found your channel
Welcome aboard!
Beautiful
Thank you.
Do you intentionally leave some white in the pattern, as part of the highlights.
I use the white of the paper all the time. It really intensifies the highlighted area of your coloring.
So pretty! But darn, I only have the 100 crayola set so no atomic tangerine!
The Atomic Tangerine is only in the 120 set. 😀
I don’t have the atomic tangerine 😢😭. I have the 100 set
same here.... I NEED IT!!!
We all need that color to add to every single other pencil set we one! I would pay full price for the entire set to get JUST THAT ONE COLOR...that is how much I love it. I will be bringing you a color combinations video of all my favorites so look out for that! In the meantime, I just posted my video where I swatched out all 120 colors so you all can see the colors in the set. The colors are wonderful and I love the creative names.
I substituted the atomic tangerine with peach, seems to have gone ok
How about the Castle Art colored pencils
I can do more with the Castle Arts soon. I do have this video. th-cam.com/video/07_tv4vTQUI/w-d-xo.html
Good evening nice coloring
Thank you very much
I have pretty vast selection of pencils and I still use Crayola
I only have the crayons 50 piece set. I am learning so much from watching your videos.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos.
in Canada these are $68.00 on Amazon
Oh no! Everything is so much more expensive in Canada.
Have you tried Color Escapes by Crayola? I've seen some really nice pages where they were used.
I have not seen them, but of course I had to run to Amazon and check them out. Oh no!!! 😂
I watched a video by Coloring Bliss and they didn't do well when she tested them. Then again, she's a die-hard Prisma fan & may have high standards. So I'm curious if with the right application, the Color Escapes might be just as good as the Crayola 120 set.
@@YourMajesty143 I have both sets. I tried a turquoise pencil in a Kerby Rosanes book this afternoon and it worke out just fine. The pigment was good. I shaded it with a darker Polychromos pencil and it was acceptable. I do think it will perform better on paper that has some tooth. Thanks for replying
@@pattytolliver2651 - The toothiness is an easy fix with some sort of gel medium or watercolor ground, but my priority would be whether or not the Escapes have more wax binders than pigment. If so, my solution would be to use an alcohol or mineral-based blender (combined with a warming tray) to help get the blends down smoothly. I know it seems like alot of work just for a pencil, but tbh coloring pencils in general are a slowww process to work with and if having blenders & warmers help expedite the process for Crayola, then surely they'll speed things up even more for higher quality pencils. That, or I may have to look into buying pastels or paints to make coloring as hassle-free as possible. I'm so lazy lol.
@@YourMajesty143 I don't have the products mentioned at this time. The lack of tooth doesn't really bother me. I mentioned it in case someone might be concerned about that aspect. I do have those items on my list for future orders. Thanks for reminding me. 😃
