This is fantastic! I have been waiting for you to do this. Your techniques and colour combinations are just gorgeous! I am so looking forward to more videos like this one. After leaves series, maybe the next series could be on flowers?

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thank you so much Alisa 🥰 I’ve had a few requests for flowers next so I’ll definitely be putting that at the top of my list. I’ve been writing down all the suggestions 🤗

@@MyColourfulCountryLife You’re so welcome Karen.🤗

[@paulananeff729]

This video was amazing. So happy with these sheets. I really feel I can tackle a page with lots of leaves now without staring at the blank page and wondering what colours to use. :)

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Oh that is so wonderful to hear, thank you ❤️

[@kyliescolouringindownunder3098]

This is amazing

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thank you lovely 🤗

[@kathy3061]

J'adore tes combos ! 👏
Merci infiniment pour ton partage !!! 👍😋

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thank you Kathy 🥰

[@eileenjones8552]

Great video Karen! Love the colors. In your last video you did a combos of green and powder blue. It was pretty too! 😍💖

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thank you Eileen 🥰

[@queenmuhammad76]

This was great. Can you do the same leaves sheet but with Brutfuner Squares pls ?

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi 👋🏼 I sure can. I mentioned in the video there will be about 7 different brands used in the series (I just counted an there will actually be 9) the Brutfuner squares are definitely one of them as are the Brutfuner rounds 😁

[@cathyAntz]

Brilliant tips.
Have been avoiding Johanna's massive leaves,they are daunting to colour such big expanses of white paper. Will give this a try

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Ohhh yes they have so much white space. Would love to know how you go after this 😁

[@kmach1000]

Well, I only have scholar pencils but you gave me great ideas. I can match my pencils of similar shades. Thank you so much!

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi Katia, you are welcome and great idea to colour match with the brands you have 😁

[@heathers_colorpalooza8789]

These are great thanks so much. I really hope you’ll be doing a how to color leaves techniques video to show the process for coloring different leaf types and shapes with these lovely color combinations. I hate leaves because they are by far one of the hardest things for me to color and unfortunately they are everywhere. Almost every coloring page has some kind of leaf on it somewhere. Ughh! Help. 😆

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi lovely, I think that’s a great idea. I’ve added it to my future video list. We might use a Johanna Basford page for our examples 😁

[@heathers_colorpalooza8789]

@@MyColourfulCountryLife that would be amazing. I have all of Johanna’s books but I hardly ever reach for them because they have so many leaves probably twice as many leaves as most of my other coloring books. You don’t know how much I’m looking forward to this. Thank you so so much.

[@fonsieh]

Me too 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

You’re very welcome 🤗

Please do animals and buildings

[@Brelle1566]

I would to see this with Prismacolor

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

It’ll be coming. Like I said in the video I think I have 7 or 8 different brands that I’ll be filming this video with 😁

[@sylvieleblanc4701]

Great your videos Karen, as always very interesting. What type of paper do you use to print?

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Thank you Sylvie, I mention at the beginning of the video that I printed the sheets out on just plain copy paper, nothing fancy 😁 🍁🍃🍂

[@jamiefugate8758]

What kind of paper do u use?

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi Jamie it’s just plain old copy paper. Reflex 😁

[@knightr40]

Hi can you please tell me what the colour is for the second leaf after the cinnamon? Thank you 🙏 xx

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

Hi Rachel, it’s Beige Red but if you have one of the older sets yours might say light flesh but the pencil numbers will be the same 😁

[@victoriousorchid9153]

Where can I get the spiral workbook you’re using….

[@MyColourfulCountryLife]

So it’s just a blank piece of paper with a notebook behind it to lean on. The worksheet page is now in the video description to download though 😊
