- The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, so it was the perfect coloring page for today’s challenge!
After my first not-so-successful attempt at this challenge, we’re doing this again! I’m coloring another page from the Thomas Kinkade Disney Dreams Collection adult coloring book - attempting to recreate a Thomas Kinkade masterpiece with the limitations of the coloring book and my professional art supplies.
You can see my first attempt at this challenge here: • The Adult Coloring Boo...
Let’s hope today goes a little better!
Total time spent coloring this page: 15 hours
Total pencils used: 75

I've just colored another Thomas Kinkade coloring page and you can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/Qfppu079aK8/w-d-xo.html
By the way, don't worry about the pronunciation, it's Jess-oh :D You had it right the second time
I will check the next colouring page you've coloured
@@justsomeweebsmh 😢🎉😅
I think a lot of coloring book papers just aren’t great if your trying to layer to create depth. I’m loving this challenge I see many artist doing. ❤️
This looks like a good choice for printing the images on your own paper and then coloring.
For those curious, this page took 75 pencils and approx. 15 hours total to color!
I would never have imagined that I would “have the patience” to spend so long on a single page. But like I mentioned in my recent video, patience is something we can learn when it’s a project we enjoy. The more I color, the more I love spending time on projects like this. Unlike the last time I tried this, I really enjoyed every minute of this challenge. So the 15 hours were NOT a chore, and I’d happily do it again! (It was over a few days, not in one sitting)
If you missed that video, I recommend you check it out! I talked about patience, criticism, and the lies we tell ourselves about not being creative. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/kXoXVlA7jws/w-d-xo.html
Hi Sarah Ranae Clark, im Not sure if I am the only one who does this but when I colour a page like this or I’m doing a big art project I always put a Long movie on either Disney or a normal film or a tv program or even a TH-cam drawing livestream or just a normal TH-cam video so I have something on in the background as it helps me to keep going. @Sarah Ranae Clark
75 pencils ??? 😱😱
@@mariaglassman4832 realistically, I didn’t NEED that many. But more pencils meant less color mixing- and there were SO many color variations in the picture!
@@HollysCreations same! I often use coloring time to catch up on my favorite TH-cam art channels 😊
@sheralania thank you! But anything I would offer on patreon is already here on TH-cam or on my website :)
And with my monthly live streams I’m starting, there will be more opportunities for people who want to connect or support in other ways ❤️
Gesso is pronounced like Jess-oh
It’s great for prepping surfaces for different painting mediums.
I love the way the finished piece turned out.
Yeah, it sounds like Jesso more than gesso.
12:24 can't argue this is the best song and the best ending
I like colouring books because you don't have to think about the drawing just the colour. Which is nice when you're in an artsy mood but not enough to sit and think about a drawing first.
My husband has such a hard time drawing. His mind just doesn't process where to put the lines. But! He loves to color because of the reason you just said for yourself. It allows his creativity to flow, because he doesn't have to worry about what line goes where to create *insert shape here*.
*color
@@stepankhudaverdyan3771 color American English and colour British English........ if that makes sense.
Wow, I think your colors are even more vibrant and more 'popping out' than the original! Glad you've found the solution to get rid of the dark lines and it's great to learn these tricks from you, hope I can color half as good as you one day! 👏😁
I love your singing, you should do it in every video! Love the colouring, it looks even better than the painted version
I love the Thomas Kinkade coloring book! I found my favorite method for reducing the black lines was actually to photo copy the book and then print it on a large scale printer that can handle standard art quality paper. The key here is to print it at 30-50% opacity. A win win win situation because you get better paper, spend less time covering the lines and you can make it as large as you want (or can print) which is great for those tiny details and faces! I’d love to see you try this method in a video.
Oh my gosh, I loved it all! The picture and definitely the Disney ending! What guts you have, Sarah Renae! 😍❤️🎉🤩
That ending was definitely a step out of my comfort zone, if I’m being honest! But I knew I just had to do it 😂😜
@@SarahRenaeClark it was fantastic! You are full of surprises! Of course; it kind of makes sense that lots of us who are into art would be interested and talented in music as well. We are all just living in a right brained paradise; am I right?🤔😎🥰🧠👩🎨🌹🎨🪄🎵🎼🤷♀️
I am astonished. The drawing is so beautiful. And maybe people will say it's "not perfect" and "doesn't look just like original" but this is the point. To have fun and create something beautiful in your own way. Love it! I wait for more videos like that with use of this coloring book.
Man if this took 15hours imagine how long it will take to do the poster book. This drawing you did today was absolutely breathtaking I find when a project "fails" whatever drawing I do next is just so much more rewarding. You've inspired me to start a page in my book and I'm very excited. ❤
I really am amazed what people can make with a coloring book! I hope you are going to do more!
Dare I say that I actually like the page that was colored over the Kinkade painting? The colors from the colored pencils are so rich and vibrant!
Oh Sarah i love the last part.. I want more 🎶 🎵🎶🎵 🤣🤣🤣 thats me I want more coloring pens and pencils
Sarah, you are a girl after my own heart to never give up and never be defeated! The page turned out beautiful. The song at the end was just that little bonus of fun and humor, love it! Well done. Carla
Woww... Its like the reference just enhanced
Omg. Just discovered your absolute treasure of art videos. Colored pencil/ coloring book is what I've been watching and LOVE this so much.
How did you get so amazingly fantastic?
You didn't know about gesso before this? It's freaking amazing and there are so many ways it can help you!! Need to pause a project?/ clear gesso that and set it aside no worries. Don't want your perfectly drawn sketch to get smudged, erased, mix with your medium, or have to make the sketch darker just to keep the sketch while you begin project? Clear gesso that sketch!!!
Need to prime a surface for colored pencils---->gesso it. Not just in clear, white, black but many colors or create your own.
This is great and starting a project with a surface that has some color on it- so much better and easier than a scary blank white surface. For me at least.
Always do multiple layers when surface prepping. Different things you can do here with texture and or sanding if wanted. Also not sure why the multiple layers but it's a habit and I'm sure it's for some good reason I've just forgotten.
Hey Sarah, I watched the previous video and for sure felt your frustration, but what you did here on this one was amazing work and a lot of patience. It proves that people should continue to try and never give up 😎🖌️
That ending was EPIC! I can completely relate - every time I think my collection is complete, I find myself peeking on Amazon for MORE! There is definitely an addictive component to this whole coloring thing.😮 Love your channel! ❤
What a fantastic outcome! Wonderful job 💕
Loved this! 🤩 And that Disney musical ending? Magical!
Oh my goodness, this is so amazing! You showed all those people who said you can't get the same effect with pencils, you totally can! Honestly, I knew you were talented, but this piece just showcased your talent to the max. Well done, I'm so pleased for you and proud of you for keep going. The beauty and the beast one was fab, but the Ariel one is such another level. Both two of my faves by the way. I would like to see you try gesso (pronounced like the j in Jessie), bit definitely the while page, it might give your pencils some grip as well. Absolutely brilliant 😊👏🏻
Really enjoyed seeing you give this another go. It looks fabulous. Also the 'No' from off screen at the end was hilarious
And when my 6 year old watched it later, he said “Mum, I know you want lots more pencils. You want a million pencils”
I love your page that you coloured it was amazing😄😁
JESSO!! It’s pronounces Jesso! I just ordered the book. You came up in my suggestions, glad it did. 🧜🏽♀️
Holy moly!!!! This was so fascinating to watch 💕 amazing effort!!
I've been waiting for this! I just bought the book and I've been following your tutorials. I appreciate that you include the frustrations.
The fact that I've seen several people tackle this "colouring book" leads me to believe that Disney isn't setting up the lay person up to successed in this endeavour!!! With the way they've been acting it seems to be their new m.o. the lay person isn't good enough anymore. Only the elite are welcome. Never been the biggest fan, although my heart 💓 as always been with the retrobates. I guess I'll keep there!!! 😜 I'm old so a child it was one of the 1st time I've ever got to see a woman be truly powerful for that I'll always be thankful!!! Take care and have fun!!! 😷😎😷
I’m currently working on the snowwhite mine picture (the second page) from this book. I’m don’t have a very extensive art background so I’m in way over my head but I’m enjoying it sooo much. I have maybe 12 hours in so far and am maybe 35% done. But most of that time has been spent experimenting with colors on scrap paper before I color in the book. Thank you for this video. It’s giving me motivation to continue.
This is the first time I've come across your site and I'm very impressed with your coloring attempt. Yes, having fun is the most important part of a hobby. Your songs are fun too! I love buying different types and brands of pencils, gel pens, etc. I'm so happy I've found some sites that show how to make my coloring more realistic.
Ah one of my favourite challenges again...😌🥴
The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie too when I was growing up! You did a beautiful job at this! I can't wait to try and replicate this as well! Thanks for teaching us how to do it!🙏💖
Did the commenter who said her actual coloring was disappointing actually watch this!?? This is amazing!
You've inspired me to actually try a page on my Posh coloring book, thank you!
Wow! I really enjoyed watching this video especially the ending singing part. It's lovely!!
as a traditional artist, I´m loving seeing all these people having fun with colouring books. This page turned out great!
I honestly love your videos and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo inspired by you. I love that you never give up and try new things.Thank you for staying so positive :)
the little mermaid is my fave disney movie. and ariel is one of my fave disney princesses
I just ordered the Disney coloring book myself. You and other artists doing coloring book challenges inspired me to give it a go to try and hone in some blending skills so I don't screw up my own drawings by trying to add too much
I wanted to buy this book but was intimidated because I knew on my own I did not know how to make it realistic until watching your video! Now I am confident that I can! Thank you so much! Beautiful work!!💖
A coat or two of clear gesso is wonderful for adding tooth to a smooth paper.
I hope everyone stayed for the music at the end! Fantastic ending to a great video!
Love your coloring, and your song at the end was just precious!
The ending was fantastic!!! *lol* The whole page turned out beautifully! Thank you for this fun video!
Failure is a part of life, if at first you don't succeed try and try again! Great video Sarah! I look forward to seeing another video like this!
So pretty! I'm learning so much just from watching you color a page. Loved the ending! 🎶
I saw the other Disney page video and I felt bad you were frustrated, and I'm so glad you didn't let that stop you from coloring another page. Sometimes frustration is part of the creative process and hopefully leads to inspiration. Can't wait to see more.
LOL! You are funny! It's pronounced jesso. Thank you for giving it a go again! It's beautiful!! I thoroughly enjoy your videos!!!!
Yup, she's multi-talented y'all!!! AND WE WANT MORRRRREEEEEEEEE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The page may not be 100% perfect but it looks amazing!!! And I am so glad you gave it another try and had fun. Keep up the amazing, fun, inspiring, content!!
You sing very well, you are a ”dear all”......laying here in bed with a big smile.....thank you for lighting up my day😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
Your song at the end made my day Sarah!!
Please make a recording and upload an audio to your website! We'd love to listen to it again & again. 😊❤
Lovely colouring as always! Love from Pakistan.
I didn't know that white ink gel blends so well with other pencil colors. I will try this technique. Thank you Sarah 😘
Girl really just said "hold my pencils" while she slayed making this coloring book page look like the original painting. Love it.
Wow, that turned out so nicely! I might have to get a white Pitt pen. Love the ending ❤️
I’m going to buy a thinner one too now. They come in 2 sizes, and I think a brush or bullet tip
I just ordered the brush tip lol it’ll come in handy for Inktober for sure!
@@SarahRenaeClark I've looked at Pitt Pens before, but have never actually tried them. What type of pen are they? I haven't come across a white pen that wasn't a gel pen or paint pen; these seem like something different.
I tried the gesso (I think it's pronounced jesso rather than guesso) on my own colouring page a few weeks ago. I didn't try it to cover up the lines, but used clear gesso to add texture for paper (and prevent bleeding on the other side of the page). What I've learnt from that is:
1. Don't use gesso if you plant on using marker pens (or any type of pen) as the texture will destroy you nib.
2. Sanding down the page afterwards, also scrapes away black printing, so greys out the lines (although using white gesso just on the lines would be more practical if that's you're only purpose). I learnt this the hard way since the background was all black printing, and I scraped it all off 🤦. I had to go over it all again with a black pencil.
3. It makes for a quicker lay down of coloured pencils, but also eats through them super fast. My black pencil is now less than half the size it was when I started.
4. Gets seems to work pretty well if you want to use pastels. Typically pastels would not be a great choice for a colouring book because the pages are so smooth that they provide no grip. Using pastels over gesso was quite satisfying.
I think the longest I've spent on a colouring page before is 8-10 hours. I'm not a patient person, but I am someone who has to finish things. That is both a good and a bad thing, because when I say I have to finish things, I mean I can't leave something unfinished - even for a few hours. If I start, I will continue until I finish, which makes me my own worst enemy. I actually managed to break that habit on a recent drawing I did, because I realised it was going to take me days to do. At first it stressed me out leaving it for another day, but now I know that I can, bigger projects shouldn't be so daunting.
@@Bastion90 I’m actually not sure what the Pitt pens are. They are unlike other paint or gel pens I have come across. They have a felt tip, so more like a paint pen- but it’s not quite acrylic paint either. Maybe worth investigating! Either way, they didn’t seem to alter how the pencils felt on the paper at all.
@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks, I consider getting one at some point :)
The first episode of Thomas Kinkade was exactly when I ordered a copy. And it was the first video that brought me to your channel! I love your videos, they're so helpful and encouraging. And your pencil comparisons are great! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos, you deserve a lot more subscribers!
Thanks! I’m glad you’ve found them helpful!
@@SarahRenaeClark I tried colouring and I was so confused on how to white out the black, and eventually I gave up on it. Thank you for your review, it helped me and now I definitely have motivation to continue. Keep going on with this amazing content!
This turned out SO good, the pages look the exact same damn near. So impressive. Meanwhile I'm putting off starting this book lmao
Colouring, relaxing AND a musical...a match made in heaven!💃😍 You go girl!
I have come to the part in which you are coloring Eric's hair and the background looks fabulous
I’m so glad I found this video! I bought this book about a year ago, opened it and went ahhhhh! It was so intimidating! But I think the approach you took might work for me!
If this outro doesn't make it into a track, I might just give up on humanity all together........But the end "Nooo" it's what really got me!
#1: You are so skilled and I love watching your videos. #2: that ending was everything!
Best ending to a TH-cam video I think I’ve ever seen 😂🔥
Loved the ending Sarah it twas perfecto.
I also like that you took that challenge and ran with it and it turned in your favor. Good on you.
😆 love the ending! "No" lol!
What a beautiful job! I used to hate colored pencils because of how much muscle it takes to burnish a drawing, but your videos made me open my case of prismacolors and pull out 20 yr old leftover crayolas again.
Would love to see you color in those flowers on your wall sometime! They're just asking for it 🤣
Wonderful video! I love how you work so hard to problem solve. I will definitely invest in a few more Pitt artist pens. I have found I love recreating things to look “copied”, I guess. Being able to draw or color an object or picture so it looks almost real makes me happy and brings me joy. Thanks for posting this with your efforts! 🥰
I’m the same! I love being able to recreate something as closely as possible- I find it exciting. And I’ll be buying some smaller Pitt pens after this too!
This is amazing... and I'm one of the first comments on this video and it said you posted it 2 minutes ago lol so I feel quite special
Just watched both videos and love your results this time. And last time, learning is an important part of the journey. Another thing you can do is photocopy the picture with lighter ink onto the colouring paper of your choice, and alternatively lightly trace onto paper of your choice. But it is fun seeing the original vs the coloured page next to each other.
Loved your ending!!! So creative and what a beautiful voice.
Thank you!
@@SarahRenaeClark you are so beautiful sweetheart and you are like a coloring goddess babe and also what a gorgeous and lovely voice you have dollface 😘❤️🥰
I had to sign in just to comment on your epic finishing song for this video. Loved it! I too, am a Disney Princess. :D
Oh I love anything Thomas Kinkade, awesome video!
I LOVE your version of the Arial Song!!!!!!!!
Turned out beautiful! I love the vibrant colors! (Chloe Rose sent me)
That was awesome, I love the show at the end. Also I am proud of you for going back and tackling that book again. That turned out really amazing. I am definitely going to have to try out that pen eventually. I usually just end up transferring coloring pages to better paper while making the lines less robust.
That is the most perfect ending for this video. And your voice is gorgeous. I really enjoy your positivity. There are many things you have said in the various videos I've watched by you so far that I have told many other artists I've come across that don't have confidence in themselves. When it comes to the people who say using such good quality supplies shouldn't be "wasted' on a coloring page like the one in the video, or in any coloring book, clearly don't understand how art actually works. It is not easy to do all that detailing, especially if you're still learning. That takes honed skills and self confidence to do such detailing. Nothing is wasted; everything is gained.
When she start singing
Me- So you took all the talents?
😆😆
I totally agree with everything you mentioned in the video, that the creative problem solving aspect of this coloring book can be equally important to artists than just creating your own art work. As well as the fact that the pieces are almost obscenely tiny due to the fact the original is probably 4 times bigger.
That was the greatest ploy for an art supply sponsor I’ve seen on the internet! Somebody get this girl some more art stuff!
This wasn’t a sponsored video… so I’m a bit confused by what you mean, but thank you!
@@SarahRenaeClark lol.. I was meaning that that song is a great way to GET a sponsor! They’ll be lining up!
Haha! Att: Derwent. I want more 😜😂
You are amazing! I have this book it’s sat in my drawer for over a year.
Your page turned out absolutely stunning. It’s just so beautiful. I don’t have the book yet but I definitely want to buy it so I can try the white marker on the lines. 😁
Wow, Sarah, loved how it turned out! And loved the ending! You are multitalented! ❤️❤️
The finished page is amazing!!!! But I have to say, you song at the end was the ABSOLUTE BEST part of the video!!!! It was perfect, especially because we ALL want more!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶💕💕💕💕💕
Totally love ur song at the end of the video. Fit for a coloring princess.
Love how it turned out... I love the ending so much too
Wow very impressive!! And no, you are not wasting time, cooping makes you learn!!
By the way, loved the end with you singing!! Lol
That song was so on the nose, I feel called out. Having 20 white gel pens, who cares, I want more!
I have 2 of these and I feel like I'm ready to try them too! Seeing you try again really makes me want to see what I can do! Your coloring is beautiful and if you ever color another one I would love to see it!
LOVED THE SONG !!!! I want more singing!
That was one of the best pencil colouring I have seen for Thomas Kinkade's book.... and one of the best ending. Double thumbs up!!
I recently learned about Thomas Kinkade when I started to move to a new house. I remembered seeing these pictures back in my childhood house. I remember seeing a big Disney painting being hung near my room and remember so many details, like Ursula with her eels pets/henchmen. The statue of prince Eric with Ariel’s trinkets and gismos and king Triton and his daughters in another spot. When I found out the name of the artist, it was quite a shock to find out the guy who painted the Little Mermaid painting that was once next to my room is quite a shock because I have never learned about the guy until I found his name in my dad’s safe with something called a “Fine Art Owner’s Manual”
I loved the song at the end. Your voice is so beautiful.
You made my day ! Thank you ! Amazing work and a great way to finish !
The song at the end made my day! :D I love it!
Oh i love this video so much. Especially the song.
That is so good! Love the color. Ps, love your acent.
I’ve only just discovered your channel and this is the only video I’ve watched so far. And I am subscribing on that Outro alone loved it.
Thank you!
I don’t usually like colouring book videos but your is amazing and better than the original, you also made me smile with the song at the end. New sub
👏👏👏👏yes girl. Absolutely amazing.
And your little mermaid song 🥰 with art supplies 👏👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣 I loved it.
Get it girl. 😏
I like the idea of using a bit of paint so I can change the image to add my own touch! I learned the hard way that The gesso is great for waterproofing the paper, but depending how it is applied it will add an unexpected and sometimes unwanted texture. I am so glad you’re having fun this time, coloring should be fun and not stress inducing. Fun video!
I’m late to the party and missed your “failure” (which still looked pretty great to me), but this looks amazing! So glad I found this, I’m so ready to steal my kids’ coloring books now!
Please make it a series it’s so fun to watch 🤞🏻 I need the white faber castle pencil now 😅
