This is such a wonderful video - super helpful and provides a great overview of what is encountered on a coloring journey (different paperrs, different pencils working better or worse on those different papers, etc). Thank you so much for your guidance! ❤
Another great portable book is the Coloriage Wild series bty Emanuelle Colins. It is about the size of Europa, is Spiral Bound & has lovely thick paper...! Thank you ofr this vid Pamela...1
Oh my!! So much information!! 😮 I appreciate it all! ❤ Now, to keep track of it... I think I may need to put notes on my pages of which pencils and mediums I used so when I flip through, I will know, lol!! 😂
I only have Prismacolors and I am new to coloring and have just a few books and my favorite so far are JB's books. I want to add a Meine Reise book for sure!
I’m so happy to have found your channel! Do you have tips on what stokes to make when coloring (circles, back and forth)? Also, how do you know how to do highlights, lowlights as well as shading?
Spot on! I’d recommend the same ones to a new coloring friend. I think I’d let them know about Creative Haven too. I just love Teresa Goodridge’s books & think they’re way less intimidating than some since they’re so inexpensive :) thanks for the great video Pamela! :)
I was struggling with Rita Berman Meine Reise Europa using my Prismacolor pencils. I tried using KRYLON Workable Fixative and found it made a difference. I put 3 coats on.
It’s so true - the combination of pencils and paper make such a difference. I was struggling with one of Kirby’s books because the pencils were just not right - but when I finally found them, bingo - all of a sudden the book just opened up! :)
Yes!! It’s all about the perfect match. I just want everyone to pull out those books and pencils they thought they didn’t like. Hoping this videos get most to pull out some of the pencils they’ve had sitting around because they thought they didn’t enjoy them. ♥️
I’m sure I did. I just really don’t remember which flower was done using Castle Arts. It was so long ago when I tested them that I honestly don’t remember how I liked them. If I loved them I’m sure I’d be pulling them out a lot more. They’re fabulous on the Amazon printed books!
I don't own any Hanna Karlzon books, however I have a Maria Trolle book, and I've used wet media and whooo-ie does it work wonderfully on that paper!! And it didn't go through onto the other side! So despite both Hanna and Maria's being published by Gibb's Smith, perhaps Maria's paper does have a bit of a difference? Just a hunch and I wish I had one of Hanna's books to fully confirm. Amazing paper either way 😊. Love this video idea and very helpful even for non-beginners! Much love as always 💞
Also! A fun idea for the black background's in Maria's books, I love using the FolkArt? (I forget the brand) Glitterrific and Extreme Glitter paints/anything similar that's iridescent shimmery yumminess 😊
As a beginner, this is a lot of information with unfamiliar resources. Could you maybe create a chart with different pencils and different books and show which pencils work in the books?
Thank you for this insightful video. I have a set of Marco Raffine pencils which I dont like at all. Which books work well with Marco Raffine? Many thanks
Instead of making a coloring book that’s 8.5 x 11”…. What are popular square de mentions? Or I guess what is a popular size dimension, for a coloring book?
If I don't go back to the same page I had been colouring in, I write down on a little paper tab the colour numbers and bookmark it on that said page. So I don't forget
In Rita Berman’s book you had a purple flower colored and didn’t mention the pencils. We’re they different pencils or no? Thanks Pam for everything! ♥️
People please, you do not need to purchase two books or ruin a two sided coloring page, just apply "gloss glazing liquid" from Golden. Then u can use alcohol markers, watercolor pens, acrylic paint pens etc and it protects each page. just brush a light coat, for a super quick dry use a hair dryer for a couple of secs and u can instantly start coloring. It dries clear, smooth and u no longer have to copy pages. Use the beautiful books u bought, the product protects each side and is versatile of what you want to color with....
Does the satin glazing liquid work in the same one with the gloss one? Because in Canada it's harder and more expensive to get the gloss glaze :( or is there any alternatives of it?
@mooncaketr satin glaze for me wasnt a good choice because it made the paper horribly ruff feeling. I assumed it would be like satin paint but nope. If you dont want the glossy one, you can use my favorite choice which is Mont Marte clear texture gesso. It has the finest grit that still kinda feels soft to touch and it doesnt ruin my tips of alcohol markers. The regular ones, i have used a couple of times my brush tip alcohol markers on it as well and it didnt ruin the tips, but im also not heavy handed as some coloring individuals are, lol. Hope that helps.
@@privateperson3049thanh you sooo much I will try with the mont marte ☺️ you saved my life cuz I really like alcohol markers but it destroy every double sided coloring book 😢
I noticed that the link to Johanna Basford's World of Flowers was to Amazon. Is there a place where I could buy it with the original paper the book was published in instead of having Amazon paper in it? Thank you, Pamela. I love all your videos and have been watching them for many years. Your work is beautiful, and the fact that you are self-taught amazes me. How did you ever learn how to produce all of the wonderful art that you are able show us in so many mediums, and acquire all of the knowledge that you have with no one to help you like you are helping us?
Great video! Are all of Hannah Karlson books have the same paper? I have Daydreams and am about to start a buddy color in it. I always have some anxiety when I use my Prismacolor set as I get a lot of breakage. I heard you say that you really only like the Prismas in her book. Have you tried Polychromos in her books?
@@PamelasPassionforPencils yes I have watched quite a few of them and really really appreciate your tutorials with budget friendly pencils. Thank you. 🙏
@@PamelasPassionforPencils The word colorist is usually stated towards people who are prejudice againt certain skin tones, most times darker, within a race or ethnic group. I understood in this context you meant a person who colors but I feel like there could be a better word or phrase to describe an artist than "colorist".
Hello. This was a great video. I am new to the adult coloring community, and I really appreciate all you do for the community. Tfs
Welcome to this wonderful hobby and my channel! Thanks for being here and watching. I hope you're having a fabulous day.

Wow you took coloring pages to a whole new level.. I love love the way you color.

Such a fantastic and beyond helpful video as is every video of yours I've seen 🎉🎉
This was a great help!

Very helpful and great advice on these very popular books. I love the Derwent Inktense frog.
Thank you! ♥️

I actually made notes on this! Thanks!
That’s awesome!
Excluding Crayola and Prismacolor what would be the third pencil set I should buy? Curious what you think.
If you’re on a budget, these are the best! They’re on sale right now for only $25! amzn.to/3Brjx5v
Did you perhaps test Castle Art pencils on Johanna's books and Kerby Rosanes' books?
I’m sure I did. I just really don’t remember which flower was done using Castle Arts. It was so long ago when I tested them that I honestly don’t remember how I liked them. If I loved them I’m sure I’d be pulling them out a lot more. They’re fabulous on the Amazon printed books!

I don’t have this set of pencils. I would just spend some time testing them in different books that you have.
Also what about Klara Markova’s books? Thanks again ♥️
I'm only 4 minutes in and just love this video because I'm a beginner and love knowing to use my polychromos in my rita berman books
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the video. ♥️
I feel the tombow irojitens i feel are best for details not doing large areas
I love Hannah Karlzon paper: Neocolours 2 crayons work wonderfully as do Derwent Inktense.
What a lovely video I love your channel xx ❤xx😊X🦋🙌🌟😆🙏

That was also done with Prismacolors....the flowers and the shoes were all Prismacolors. The envelope was Polychromos. Have a great evening.

I haven’t tried the polys in her books but will.
I always thought the polys were more of a layering pencil not blending
What about Amazon paper?
I’ve done a whole series on the Amazon books and tested several different budget sets. It’s in my most recent videos.
Great video just unfortunately not everyone can afford Prismacolour or Polychromos.
I have tons of tutorials on my channel showing budget friendly colored pencil sets. I even have tutorials for Crayola colored pencils.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils yes I have watched quite a few of them and really really appreciate your tutorials with budget friendly pencils. Thank you. 🙏
You said paper clip I think.. instead of toothpick 😅
Oops! I’m so sorry! I meant to say toothpicks.
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜
You could still color those pages. They can be fixed.
I thought it was a toothpick
Did I misspeak? What did I say??
She colored the books with a toothpick not a paperclip
I know. I misspoke. Sorry about that. 🙈
I wouldn't call people who like to color "colorist". Has a negative meaning 😕
How would the word "colorist" as it refers to someone who colors have a negative meaning? I'm honestly curious.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils The word colorist is usually stated towards people who are prejudice againt certain skin tones, most times darker, within a race or ethnic group.

@@peanuthead5280 I get it but surely didn’t mean it in that context.
