Did she respond? Ohhhwhooohhoooo pick me pick me!!!! Lololollypop! Thanks ladies ❤️
I agree !!!!!
I had never even thought about colouring until I was ill and a friend sent me a colouring book and pens. I started to use the book and I really got the bug. I then bought some cheap colouring pencils and realised they weren't good enough after a while, so I bought some expensive ones which made a huge difference. Then I decided to try water colour pencils, which took me to water colour paints. Through that simple gift of a colouring book, I found my talent as an artist because after water colour paints I turned to acrylics and painting on canvasses. I always thought I couldn't paint because basically I was not that good at drawing. I found out that I didn't have to be good at drawing to paint and so my painting journey took off. My favourite thing to paint is flowers and I've been painting now since 2016. When I look at my first attempts and where I am now, I marvel at how much I have learned. I have learned everything via You Tube, from a few certain artists that teach how to paint with acrylics. People are often very surprised when I say that I learned everything from You Tube and have never had a proper art lesson in my life. My friend who bought that first colouring book didn't really know what she had unleashed LOL!
That's awesome!! That's why I tried to expose my kids to 'everything', lol... you never know where hidden talents/passions might be hiding. You sound like me with the 'turned into that... and that turned into that... and that...' 😂😂 congrats on the newfound artists career!! Great story... super inspiring!!
This is an amazing story!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One never knows where the road will take them. Keep painting, coloring and learning !
What are some of the YT videos or channels that you watched? Any favorites?
What a beautiful testimony. Lovely!
I have tons of coloring books and am so excited to have other ideas now that are not just filling everything in with color!
This is VERY motivating!
I do like that she listed so many different styles. I can't draw for squat but have always loved to color. I use a lot of Pinterest for inspiration on images I like and then follow those sources. The thing i like about pinterest is that when u select an image it gives u the option to open up to another outside source and their world or you have a list of similar choices narrowed down a bit more along with a few other categories listed down the side, if u scroll just a bit, so u can narrow it down some more if you'd like. You can quick save what you want for closer viewing, ect. I even love the new sub categories. And once you have a select few favorites it's then that i go looking for their youtube channels if they have them or their websites, Patreon, Instagram (I don't actually use Instagram but it's a popular one), and/or sometimes the ppl i follow have FB groups, too. Those sometimes yield more interesting results than one might think. Some are just fan groups. 🤷. And you can always see what inspires them by seeing whats in their pinterest folders. I like how interactive it can be without actually interacting.
Plus you can always just choose to print the image directly off of Pinterest, too. Swipe the color off and make your own coloring pages. Sometimes i do that. Or make embellishments from them for my journals or whatever I'm carting around at the moment
Coloring is definitely a great way to learn to be creative and practice basic art skills without the pressure of being an expert. There’s a lot you can learn on TH-cam and it doesn’t take much to make something amazing. It’s definitely not just for kids!
Thanks to you I bought my set of arteza n just got them in the mail a couple days ago. I got the watercolor ones but I want the premium 1s next to see the difference . You turned me into a junkie a pencil junkie
Sarah, agreed and it can be more than a bit of fun too!
@@josephinev.catlady5182 🤣😂🤣😂 that's awesome!
I have a friend healing from a horrible accident. This would be perfect for her. It’s gorgeous. Cheers and congrats on this wonderful book!
So sorry to hear about your friend. Wishes for a speedy recovery!
We all need to remember ourselves especially after this past year. Most of us have been stuck at home doing jobs that aren't on our resumes. Teachers, tech support, internet expert ect.. and doing normal things like cleaning, laundry, cooking more than we've ever had to do. Cooking dinner every night turned into 3 meals a day multiplied by 2 kids with different needs. It's easy to put ourselves as the very last priority.
My tween and teen boys were SO IMPRESSED with her IG feed and the complexity of her art! How wonderful that she showed up on one of my favorite TH-cam channels!
This is wonderful. I'm always so overwhelmed by beautiful uncolored pages, but these techniques make me want to try again. Love your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for especially for the "creative pep talk"! I am a total newbie and those few words meant a lot and actually did encourage me to fail 😂 all the videos, color theory lessons, pencil strokes..... blending blah blah blah can be quite overwhelming! Thank you for taking a minute during the sped up section to share those words of wisdom, please don't stop sharing pieces of yourself with your viewers, you never know who is listening 😉💖
Oh wow, that orb technique is awesome! The double pages can be overwhelming, working on just a circle at a time may make it less overwhelming. Even if you overlap a couple orbs and do something different for each circle to make it less monotonous. Thanks for the idea!
I love that one too! So many choices that way!
Simply gorgeous drawings! I'm in my 60s and have been drawing forever but haven't done much lately. Thank you for inspiring me to get back to it!
This is a brilliant concept. Thank you Becca for bringing this artist to our attention.
A friend of mine, and I use to color in a public space where we live, and I got many a compliment on my creativity of my coloring book pages, but since this Covid stuff has been around, our coloring book days have gone to the wayside to other things, BUT since watching this, it has inspired me to take my pages to yet, another level. I'm always looking for that extra little oomph to make my pages pop. Can't tell you how much I'm grateful for your tutorial. A BIG thumbs up!
I been using these techniques for years. I use glitter pens, water pencils , color pencils, colored markers and everything and anything that takes coloring to a different level.
Same here. About four years ago I colored an owl perched on a branch for my young grandson and he begged me to frame it and hang it in his room. I was actually amazed at how beautiful it turned out. There are so many possibilities when using a coloring book. Just a note, when choosing a new coloring book, I always look for the one image-blank backside pages because otherwise you must sacrifice the image on the backside of your page of choice. Happy creating.
I love it when crazes finish because people who really love it can just enjoy the activity. Colouring is actually enormous both on Facebook and many other p,aces.
What's stopping them from enjoying it when it's a craze lol?
Nothing
I like finding ppl new to a hobby sometimes when I'm shopping for supplies. You never know what tips u might have to trade! And sometimes even supplies!
I am blown away. I wasn’t too interested in a coloring book but after watching I thought this was so cool! Love it.
My mind is completely blown after watching this! This coloring book is beautiful!
IT'S JUST WONDERFUL THAT YOU'RE SHOWING HOW TO MAKE THE 'SIMPLE' COLOR BOOK ART LOOK LIKE 'REAL' ART & EASY FOR ANYONE TO DO. GOD BLESS YOU MY DEAR❣
I love how you make it simple for those of us that aren't as creative as you. Thanks for all that you do to help us all.
I totally need more of these incredible coloring techniques! Would love more videos like this, PLEASE!
Loved the coloring lesson! The botanical line drawings are beautiful and I can't wait to try the techniques Maggie taught.
This is so different from what I expected from a coloring book. Can't wait to give it a try.👍
OMG!!! 🤯 I usually avoid these kinds of coloring books because I find them hugely intimidating!! Now, with these techniques, they are gonna feel much more approachable!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼❤️
I loved her idea about narrowing it down go just one small circle. I think I'm going to do one with several different size circles of various colors and black and white or silver or something in between.
These techniques really elevate the colorist process! Can’t wait to try this coloring book. The flowers are gorgeous, and I love all the negative space.
I love that these techniques make a kind of intimidating blank page seem so accessible and inviting. Will definitely try these out soon.
This is so beautiful. I am usually overwhelmed by adult coloring books to the point they are no longer calming. This was lovely and eve doable for me! Lovely.
The book and illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! I too had never gotten into the adult coloring part of this type of art but have appreciated looking at what others have done with it as far as coloring them in. I love the whole idea behind this book thank you for but you have done! I’m not sure if it’s too late now but I would sure love to be part of the drawing as well. Thank you so much! And thank you happy ever crafter for all you do and present to your followers. We are so blessed.
NEVER too late to start drawing! Have fun
Would just like to say how much you’ve helped me with my calligraphy and keeping me motivated to keep on doing it. Now you reinstated my love for colouring!! 💜
This is the first time as an adult that I am excited and inspired to color. Thank you for sharing these techniques!
This is a beautiful book! It doesn’t look as intimidating as other books yet the drawings are intricate and appealing.
I have colored my whole life, I am now in my 60's and I am going to look her up! I hope her book isn't too expensive. 💖🙋♀️
:)
This book is utterly gorgeous! I’ve never been drawn to adult colouring books but this book is changing my mind - I’m sk drawn to it! I love the different techniques taught in the video - this has changed my view of colouring books! And I love how there are smaller colouring projects in the book too - so less overwhelming for a quick relaxation session! Thanks for sharing 😊😊
Mind blowing! Kind of like colouring outside the lines. The paper quality sounds supreme. Thanks so much to both of you and congratulations Maggie on the beautiful book (and the nails!)
As a colorist & master gardener I am super excited to have an interactive book!
I’ve never tried an adult coloring book.... but now it’s definitely on my shopping list!
Such a beautiful book! I love that the pages are thick and able to take layers of media!
This is such an amazing book. It makes me feel like jumping into it and trying the stuff. Gliding excited me. Just wow.
This is seriously the most beautiful colouring book I’ve ever seen!
Wow, that is so kind! thank you!
✏️“I’m so DRAWN to your work.” Well said.
Wow!! Thanks so much for sharing. I would never have thought to colour that way. Your colouring book is amazing!!
I have so many of those coloring books and now I can't wait to try these fun techniques. I can't wait to add Flowerscapes to my collection... stunning!
I love these hacks and I love that they were made for everyone’s individual creative process in mind!
I never understood it until i had to retire early due to a chronic illness. Then I discovered just how therapeutic it can be. I color right before bed to calm down and relax. This book looks just lovely!
I’m so glad you said this. I too had to retire early due to chronic illness and never thought about coloring before bed to help me relax. I have a hard time relaxing before bed so I’m going to give this a try
Love that you included the names of the flowers! Now I can look up the flowers to see their actual colors and then get down to creating beautiful flowers!
Wow! I love them all. Your idea for using different patterns/shapes in the pattern orb is endless possibilities. I'm thinking animal pattern for a child's room, initials for any occasion (birthday, anniversary etc.) so many ideas running through my head. Thank you Maggie for your tutorial on coloring hacks and sharing.
Thanks Becca for making this possible. 💖🤗
Very unique next level coloring technique. Can’t wait to try the “orb”!
What should we do with the leftover space??
I have always loved to color and was so happy when adult coloring became a "thing". Love the floral designs in this book and watching the video gave me some technique ideas I want to try. Thank You!
How wonderful that you showed these techniques! I am creative but never allowed myself to think beyond just filling in a coloring book with colored pencils. Thank you so very much for sharing 😊❤
My coloring skills are about to be next level
This book is so beautiful. I have a channel all about colored pencil coloring and do lots of detailed tutorials that show people how to color. I show how to choose colors, different techniques, and do lots of reviews for coloring supplies and coloring books. I have seen this book talked about a lot recently and would love to review it. Coloring flowers is one of my favorite things to do.
Loved your video! Thanks for another great one. Can't wait to try these so fun and awesome techniques in this gorgeous coloring book!
This was an amazing tutorial! Loved every technique. I’m going to buy all of these supplies so I can get out of the rut I’ve been in, with coloring the same way for a long time. Many Thanks!
Oh, so excited about this!!! Can't wait to try some of these out!!
Wow such great ideas, thanks for sharing! Now to pull out all of those coloring books to get started!
Wow, loved the flip through!! With the right shading and colors you could make these illustrations really look 3-Dimensional! Just beautiful!
This is so beautiful and it gives me tons of inspiration. I have just recently returned to the lettering/pen/watercolor/drawing type arts and can't wait to get started in your book, Maggie!
When adult coloring came out I really wanted to love it. I found colored mechanical pencils (only 8 colors) for tiny details. But out of a whole book there might be a few pages that interested me. Years later, I've started revisiting those old books just to practice shading. But this....this speaks to SO many pages I just flip past because they are too big, too busy, too whatever. THIS....touched a special spot in my soul!!! I feel a big monogram coming on over a big busy botanical!! Thanks for this!!!
I love this. I use these kind of pictures in my art elementary school classes and they love them also. Thanks for sharing.
Loving all the hacks, the last one especially! It helps you focus on what’s in the circle when the rest of the page looks overwhelming.
Such a beautiful coloring book! Thank you so much for these techniques. I’m finally getting out all my coloring books and trying these!
con't wait to try these techniques! and the flowers in the book are amazing!
What a wonderful find! This is the first time I've seen a tutorial for coloring books. I'm going to use those techniques , and I am looking forward watching more tutorials.
What a beautiful coloring book! Botanicals are my favorite to color. It looks so fun to color! I love the smaller illustrations! The gilding looks SO fun and simple! Can’t wait to try these techniques!
I love the techniques and can't wait to try them! Thank you for sharing!
Fascinating. I've been wanting to dig out my old coloring books, this motivates me even more AND now I want some fancy pens to supplement my colored pencils!
just recently got back into my creative swing after a bad break up. I’ve been wanting to practice coloring mediums and shading this coloring book is amazing!!!!
Wow! I love love love these techniques! The book just as it is is stunning, and then Maggie applies her magic. That shading 🤤 Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
Oh my word this is stunning. I would never have thought of these wonderful ideas! Thank you.
I’ve been officially wow’d. I have so many books for coloring but I don’t have this one and I NEED it! This was great. I needed more inspiration! Thank you so much!
Such beautiful results with fairly easy techniques! Thank you so much for sharing!!
This is a beautiful book. I love that there is room for more creativity in it.
This is a gorgeous coloring book and I appreciate the white space, allowing as to add our own artwork, I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
I just love this book, it is absolutely beautiful. The monochrome coloring is my fav. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
These are awesome techniques! Will definitely be trying some of them next time I color.
Wow! I would never have thought to do this....so beautiful!
What great ideas for colouring pages. I especially love love love the gilded page. Gotta dash to try it out in my current colouring book! Thanks
Gorgeous illustrations, with fun & useful tutorials! Can’t wait to try them!!
I was just going to colour a floral border. Now I have some new techniques to try thanks!
Wow!!! I love all the hacks. I’m going start playing immediately!!! Thanks for introducing Maggie!!
OMG...I do love adult colouring and these hacks are really cool. Definitely going to try them and rethink my options for what I can do to push my creative boundaries when I'm colouring!
Wow! I never knew you could do that. I love to color especially flowers. Congratulations on your coloring book. Thank you for sharing these hacks. 🤩
Really nice!! Can’t wait to try. You made shading look easy
What fabulous ideas! Now I just need to dig out all those adult coloring books I bought but barely used and try these hacks in them instead of just coloring! Thanks for the inspiration!
I am new to color book coloring and came across your site today and so glad I did. I can't wait to look for this book it looks like one I have been looking for because being new I wanted some simple drawing to start and then some advanced drawing. Thank You for the great site and instructions, love the hacks never would have thought of doing any of these great ideas.
Love, love all these creative options gor this beautiful book. Thank you
Excellent hacks! I have avoided typical coloring books because the black lines always make me feel like its a kids coloring book no matter how lovely its been colored.
Thank you for these colouring book hacks/inspirations, Maggie! Looking forward to trying them out.
Love the different ideas for a coloring book! Beautiful book to start from too!
Can’t wait for more amazing videos like this one...this was amazing. Love, love, love the coloring pages.
wow! great ideas! I would never expect those techniques too have such a great final result. Also I believe the Flowerscape book feels great with the thick paper. I loved especially the water colouring with greys!!! Thank you for sharing ladies!
Beautiful! Florals are my favorite thing to color, and I love experimenting with techniques and mediums. (And Gelly Roll pens are awesome!!!). I have used some of my coloring book pages as card fronts. Seriously, add a sentiment and a layer or two to pop the colors, and it’s done. I will be trying these techniques soon. Thank you so much.
These are such great ideas! And this coloring book!! It's beautiful!
Thanks for showing us this book. It is beautiful and right up my alley with the kind of designs I love to color/paint/embroider, etc. I will have to add this book to my collection. Have a great day!
OMG! I would have never thought of these techniques!! I love the gold foil one!!!
The idea of focusing on a circle for coloring is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, I'm now excited to color again 🙂
That book would have been superb when I was in the hospital last week for treatment for an infection. It looks fantastic to see the artist show some techniques they use for colouring.
Peter, take some time to finish the healing process and do some coloring too.
Wow!! These techniques are so unique and awesome!!! Thank you so so much for sharing! 💕
I cannot WAIT until I get some time off so I can try out the three techniques you showcased. Traditional coloring doesn’t appeal to me much, but the shading and detailed sketching ideas you featured are totally up my alley. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful colouring book. Such pretty pages, the layouts are just stunning. Have to have this!
These are amazing tips, and the results are out of this world! This book is absolutely stunning!
