I have come up with a montra to remember this lesson. Three of three. Three pencils three shades. Three pencils, three shades. This was a very helpful video. Most of the time I am just digging through colors hoping they work together.... this really helps with skin tone shadows!! Thanks so much.
Cathren...that is fantastic! And it would go well with my rule of thirds for blending! I think I talked about my rule of thirds in last week's Facebook live video. So cool! Maybe the number 3 should be my new favorite number! Thanks for your support. 💛💛💛
I tapped post before I was finished. Anyway, yours is such a comforting voice stating right up front that it's ok to need a plan. And you've even made coming up with the plan possible. Again, thank you, thank you☺️☺️
THANK YOU. Thank you for making it simple and understandable and approachable. I love that I can use you tips and techniques in so many places. My coloring, with my stamps, in my scrapbooking and dies and with my Bible Journaling. Thank you for adding a whole new layer to it. BLISS!!!
Thank you so much! I watched your video on how you organize your pencils and I have started grouping my prismacolors in 3's. I did find myself getting overwhelmed by trying to pick a color scheme but this video really helped. I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks!
+Coloring Pages Bliss... Jennifer, I was searching pinterest for new ideas for other storage tips for my 132ct prismacolors and I stumbled upon approx 10 different pins on color combos! I'm thinking this will make life easier. Instead of trying to come up with our own combinations they are already figured out for us!
Wow! Great video. Thank you for all the knowledge and inspiration you so lovingly share. I am a newbie colorist and feel that I have finally found a mentor I resonate with. Blessings + hugs . . .💕
Thank you for this series. It is very helpful. I'm one of those people that has gotten so over whelmed with all so the colors I was just stuck. Ha vented colored for several weeks. Im go to my studio...corner of my living room... And color blissfully.😌
Wow, what a fantastic video 👍🏻I searched for a special video like this for a long time. Your tipps are so helpful. Every Time, when I'm going to colour, I have problems to choose a Color Palette. Now I know how to do that and to organize my tools. Best wishes from Germany 🌻☀️💕 Marita
Omg! I love Rose! I have a Maltese 3 month old puppy that looks just like your coloring partner! She's fast asleep right now. I love your videos. Very informative! Thanks!
+elektrobix, you sound like me...so excited to have the big set of colors and then I didn't hardly know where to begin! I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching. 😊
Thank you for doing these videos. Im a newbie into the adult coloring books and I have a beautiful collection of books and pencils but feel overwhelmed on where to start. These are helping me so much! Look forward to your next one, now to go practice! XOX
Jennifer your tutorials are so helpful. I've learned more in an hour and a half of TH-cam videos than ten years of trial & error floundering on my own would produce. A+ on your son's ceramic container. High school Mom? Your hands & arms appear to be for a teen. 😳
Mary! You are so good for my ego! I'm very self conscious about my hands and arms...it took me a long time to get over my own pride and just embrace myself for who I am so that I could meet my goals as an artist. Thanks so much for your kind comments. I am honored. 💛💛💛
hi Jennifer love your idea of the color palettes I have some I got off Pinterest try to get them printed if not I will try your I have images too but I love you mini coloring books also I was to know how we get your full size coloring book I just love this class series been following you every step of the way just wish I could work with you in person I would that just like a kid in class room with some paper and box of Crayola thank you so much have a bless day love and colorful hugs
+Joyce Vaughn, I would love to sit a classroom with you too! I will be live on Facebook on Wednesday and I may try to go live on TH-cam tonight...we shall see. Thanks for your kind support. 😊❤️
Hi Jen and Rose :) so glad find your channel, it has a lot of information especially for me as beginner. This Video especially..it help me a lot in choosing color, i get so stressful at the first i saw my first trying of coloring, which i ended up throwing it away because of the color combinations was so horrible :D.... Thank you so much for your channel...
In my opinion you should keep everything whether it's good bad or ugly and date the coloring sheet so in a year or two or even 3 years from now you can admire how far you have come.
Thanks Nancy! There is a link in the description above, but just in case you can't find it, here it is again... www.coloringpagesbliss.com/nature-inspired-color-palettes/
Cannot find "Bliss Breather" mini on your website as mentioned above in Part 2, Color Like a Pro. Would love to have it... your art work and HELP to us all is fantastic. Thank you.
I love your color palette cards. Have you considered selling these as preprinted card sets? I would love to have a nice glossy card set but am not sure that I'll get true colors from my printer.
I'm going to try to find and use one of the small, flat silverware holders for my pencil selector. Should be able to find one fairly easily I think. BTW If we don't have a mega set of colored pencils like your Prismacolors, couldn't we use pencil lead pressure to mimic having 3 different pencils?
+favorites, I have seen some ideal silverware holders at the dollar store. Yes...varying the pressure will give you a variety of shades. Also, layering your pencils or adding a base layer (like marker or highlighter) will also stretch your supplies. Have fun!
Great video Jennifer! Here's another question that probably sounds stupid, but I'll ask anyway - when you choose your colors: let's say that you have chosen peacock blue as one of your colors. Now you need light, medium and dark, right? Does it matter whether the peacock blue is your light color, your medium color or your dark color? Or should it be one of those specific categories? I hope you understand my question because I don't know how else to ask it! LOL. Thanks!
+Cindy Knapper, I totally understand your question. The answer is...it's up to you and what spectrum of colors you have available. Sometimes when I choose a color from a color palette, my colored pencil set only has pencils that are darker then that particular shade, so the chosen color becomes the "light". Sometimes I have lots of colors to choose from so I get to experiment and choose what I think looks best and is fun tomcolor with. I hope this helps...thanks for the great questions!
Hello there friend! I love your videos, and they help so much! I am having so much trouble finding the palettes page on your website. I can get there by clicking the link in this video, but then i have to open you tube and find this video. I wish they were easier to find and get to.
Are your picture/palette sample pages available for purchase? It would be wonderful to use them while holding them instead of having to get the computer to search them out every time I want to start a new picture or add new colors to the one I am working on at the moment. I have just started your series and am enjoying it a lot. Thanks, Dee
Your palette tutorial is a total game changer for me. I admit I had to watch this to get the sense of it. But buddy this is the missing link to a successful picture! I am sure my page throwaways will decrease exponentially now!
I encourage you to put a date on the throwaways so that you can look a year or two down the line and see how far you have progressed. I'm a new coloring artist 30 days into the game and I guarantee you I am producing pages that someday I will look back on and feel very proud. I always date my coloring pages on the back. Sometimes I even put how long it took me to finish it
+Jana Dean, I will! I plan to visit a paper specialty store I found that is not too far from my city. I am hoping they can help me find the right paper and then I can pass on what I learn.
This is going to sound stupid. I went to your links for the color palettes, and I don't know how to download them. I have some lovely coloring books, but not being able to figure out how to choose colors has kept me from starting any of them. When I got to the palettes which I knew were just what I needed, I didn't know what to do to download them! Please, tell me what to do after I click on the picture. Can the sets be loaded all at once, or does each picture have to be downloaded separately? I really feel like I could actually get started with these palettes to help me. I would be very grateful for your assistance. I am trying to watch this whole series bit by bit. This # 2 might finally get me started. Thank you for this series! Dee
The mandala is beautiful. Did you use your Tombow dual brush pens to color that? I have the set of 96 and I've never known quite what to do with them 😳. What paper do the Tombow markers work best on?
+Jana Dean, oh I'm so jealous that you have the full 96 set! In the video interview with Tombow, she said a smooth textured mixed media paper works best for their markers. I am still searching for my favorite paper to use.
I love these videos, they have helped tremendously. Thank you. Also where did you get that organizer to the left of the screen with the white and colorless blender on it? Ive been looking for something like it. What is it called?
+Kathryn, I had my son custom make that pencil sorter for me in his high school ceramics class. Isn't it amazing?! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos...thanks for watching. 😊.
Jennifer, I am a homeschool mom of four boys ranging from ages 13-8. I love art and really want to incorporate that into their curriculum but we on a slight budget :) . All of my sons have this "natural talent" for drawing and I really want to encourage it as much as possible, but I really don't know any of the formal terms to use. Is there any art courses that you would recommend for me to show to them? I would love if you did any art curriculum for younger students; we would be your first students! Thank you so much and sorry to bother you!
+Amy Sanders, there are sooooo many amazing art channels here on TH-cam that can help you. I love watching the artist on Fine Art-Tips. His accent is a little strong but his drawing is magical and he teaches really good techniques. At this time I don't plan on teaching drawing...just coloring. 😊 Thanks for all your kind words and support.
i love your youtube channel. I also love to color. I have several pages i start and then its not turning out like i pictured so i stop coloring it and start a new, but this is wasting my really nice books i have any advice??
Since I do know you can't read my mind, I have to assume that I'm not the only wanna be colored out there that needs a plan in order to even thinking about coloring. I read where some people say, "Oh, I just wing it and color whatever I'm feeling at the moment". That drives me nuts because I then assume that's what I'm supposed to be able to do.
+darcel magee, I love trying different coloring tools...some are just so much fun and make me feel like a little kid so I don't worry so much about being perfect. You could also join me today in about an hour LIVE on my Facebook page (I'm there every Wednesday at 12:30 Mountain time) for a fun tutorial to get more ideas.
+Lynne Bailey, no...it is a giant piece of watercolor paper that I splattered with paints for a fun background. I have several that I use and I love them for drawing on...gives just the right softness under my work.
Why don't you be honest and up front and disclose that if anyone wants to see the color palettes that they have to pay...otherwise..no color palette pictures to see....
I loved this series of videos! They were so helpful when I first started my adult coloring phase!
I love how your dog just sits there so calm! Must be all the coloring he's been watching!
Maybe you're right Petra! All that colorful bliss is rubbing off on her! 😊❤️
I love your approach, style and blissful personality! You give great advice and encouragement.
This was so so so helpful thank you so much! I was so overwhelmed with trying to figure out which colors to use
I have come up with a montra to remember this lesson. Three of three. Three pencils three shades. Three pencils, three shades. This was a very helpful video. Most of the time I am just digging through colors hoping they work together.... this really helps with skin tone shadows!! Thanks so much.

THANK YOU. Thank you for making it simple and understandable and approachable. I love that I can use you tips and techniques in so many places. My coloring, with my stamps, in my scrapbooking and dies and with my Bible Journaling. Thank you for adding a whole new layer to it. BLISS!!!
+Margi Duffy you are soooo welcome. I want everyone to find more bliss in their creativity and I’m glad I did that for you. 😊
I also loved coloring along with you. I am thinking I am that kind of learner. For a old lady, its about time I learn. FUN
+Margi Duffy, all of us old ladies can learn and color together 😉
“Always start with a plan” 💯 percent!
Very interesting, can't wait for number 7. Really like the way you shade, want to learn that. Seems to really to make the coloring pop out more.
Thanks Patricia! 7 feels forever away but it will be here before we know it!
Excellent idea choosing picture and it's colours to work with. Thanks
Thank you for your very helpful tips. It has progressed my learning curve quicker. You are an amazing artist.
+Evelyn Abston, thank you for watching and I'm so glad I can help!
I enjoy watching this one video all the time I keep learning just from this one!
I am sooooooo loving these tutorials!!....I received my awesome coloring pencils and case today! !!...thank you again so much!!...color happy
Glad to hear that your colored pencils arrived Makayla, and I'm so glad you are enjoying this series. Have fun coloring!
Thank you so much! I watched your video on how you organize your pencils and I have started grouping my prismacolors in 3's. I did find myself getting overwhelmed by trying to pick a color scheme but this video really helped. I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks!
+Jennifer Owen, so glad I could help! I was thinking it would be fun to share our sets of 3 with each other sometime...Color inspiration sharing 😉.
+Coloring Pages Bliss... Jennifer, I was searching pinterest for new ideas for other storage tips for my 132ct prismacolors and I stumbled upon approx 10 different pins on color combos!

I love watching where you have evolved to since this video
I love your videos and ideas. I get a lot of pallet ideas from fractuals. They can be very inspiring.
+Leah Speller, so many inspiring ideas all around us! Thanks for watching.
Wow! Great video. Thank you for all the knowledge and inspiration you so lovingly share. I am a newbie colorist and feel that I have finally found a mentor I resonate with. Blessings + hugs . . .💕

Wow, what a fantastic video 👍🏻I searched for a special video like this for a long time. Your tipps are so helpful. Every Time, when I'm going to colour, I have problems to choose a Color Palette. Now I know how to do that and to organize my tools.
Best wishes from Germany 🌻☀️💕

Marita, I'm so glad I could help and inspire you so much! I wish I could come visit you in Germany!
Omg! I love Rose! I have a Maltese 3 month old puppy that looks just like your coloring partner! She's fast asleep right now. I love your videos. Very informative! Thanks!
Barbara! Oh give your sweet little puppy a snuggle for me. 💛💛💛
This is so helpful, i just bought a set of 150 prismacolor pencils and was completely overwhelmed with the choice! Love watching your videos :)
+elektrobix, you sound like me...so excited to have the big set of colors and then I didn't hardly know where to begin! I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching. 😊
Thank you for doing these videos. Im a newbie into the adult coloring books and I have a beautiful collection of books and pencils but feel overwhelmed on where to start. These are helping me so much! Look forward to your next one, now to go practice! XOX
+Lucie Engen, so glad you found me and my channel! Have fun practicing and see you soon!
I feel the same! I think I'm trying to make it too difficult. lol
Thank you for explaining this to me. Very easy to understand video.
Hamhobby, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. 😊
ahhhh just listened, your son made in ceramics class, am going to look into making something similar, i think its awesome
Those techniques are really cool. Hopefully I will be a Pro soon. :)
This is so helpful:-) Love Rose!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I think it will help me a lot.
+Felicia Harris, you are very welcome. 😊💛. Thanks for watching.

+Clare Friend, good to know. I told my hubby that there are several of you interested...we will see what we can do!
Let me know when you figure out the best paper to use with the Tombow markers please.
+Jana Dean, I will! I plan to visit a paper specialty store I found that is not too far from my city. I am hoping they can help me find the right paper and then I can pass on what I learn.
What size did you print your palettes? They're very pretty :D
i finally figured out why my cards dont pop. rather where i go wrong and waste time. THANK U 4 this video.
Glad I could help give you some ideas! Coloring is so fun!
