I am exactly like you in the regards of "No thank you I don't want to socialize and get out a little more. I'm quite fine with being by myself." I hate it when someone tells me to go out more, to be around people more, when that is exactly what makes me feel terrible 9 out of 10 times. Not everyone is a social butterfly and needs people around 24/7 and that's totally fine. My cousin for example is the exact opposite. If she's not around people, something's wrong I feel like and that works for her perfectly. No need to tell her to socialize less, so why tell us, who are differently inclined, to go out more?
I love the colors of the background :) I'm excited to see the rest of this!
After I read your comment I realised I'm wearing my 'anisocial butterfly' hoodie - it has the logo on the chest and blue and purple butterflies down the sleeves :)
@@TheColourCave awesome 😂
Windy on hot days? Quite a few years ago I was on holiday in Northumbria (gorgeous place) and was doing a walk up Windy Gyle (well named). As I walked up from the lower ground I got sunburnt ears where they poked out from my cap/hair. But when I got to the ridge it was so cold that I met up with others who were sheltering in a depression in the land whilst we all layered up with everything we had in our packs before continuing on into the wind. Great walk but an incredible contrast so I got that day a taste of what it must be like on your farm. You can tell I’m commenting as I listen along - can’t you. 😉
Hi gem watching late.
I know it will be awesome 👌
I love polychromos too such a good alrounder
Hullo Gem, I am so glad you are doing well and coloring, not that you have ever stopped but I remember when I first left college and was hired as a colorist. Basically coloring others linework. This is so similar to the new rage of “Adult” coloring becoming an art form in its own right! Thanks for the Scottish lesson I do look forward to them! I recently purchased yardage in my family tartan, it was from a company in Scotland and 11 yards was the minimum and I got a 25 yard piece of McBride Tartan! I am just going to have my wife sew some scarves and head wraps(I forgot the actual name) I was thinking of a modified kilt but I have certain garment requirements that are difficult for seamstresses I have a lot of very loose clothing. I am glad that you have a verbosity rich video style. I am prone to run-on in the comments. Another splendid coloring video, see ya next time 👍🏼
You know, with the pandemic lockdowns, etc, I loved it. As an only child, I felt relieved not to have to be expected to be places with ppl. Happy to be on my own. But....my husband is a middle child of 13!! He loves to be with ppl🤣 I feel you my friend.
Lovely to hear a fellow Scot! I am 12,000 miles away and love your Scottish humour!
You are doing a lovely job on that BIG page(for me that is!) of Johanna Basford...would love to see the finished page. You now have a new subscriber!
Hello and welcome! I did complete the page so I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos and I am honoured to provide you with a bit of 'home humour' :)
Hope you and Mr Gem had a lovely time. I personally think that men should wear kilts! Men look really darn good in kilts! They are very practical too. Or can be. Have you ever heard of utilikilt? Specifically designed for people that carry tools. I LOOOOOVE the colors you chose for the background! They are so pretty! Perfect backdrop for a woodland scene. I did buy this book but having started a new job and finished Inktober, I have no time for coloring.
Just found your channel. I could listen to your voice and accent all day! I love how you show the colors you are using and detail how you are going about coloring it. Looking forward to coloring along many more pages with you.
Hello Patricia and welcome! I have a sizeable back-catalogue of colouring videos - please check out the 'chatty colouring' playlist - that should keep you occupied for a while :)
Beautiful!
I love the background. It looks so serene, just peaceful to me. I love blues and greens. Thank you for showing the colorless blender, I do not use colored pencils very much, and I have never tried to use a blender. I do not have this book, but I do have Lost Ocean. I am excited to try using this technique on a page now. Have fun at the party. I get where you are coming from. Social events can be fun, but they often leave me exhausted. Today, I am going to try to purchase a blender and give this a go.
I told myself I wasn't going to buy another coloring book until I finished one. This video made a liar of me. I couldn't help it. You're such an inspiration. I can't wait to do more coloring!
You mean an enabler? 😂
I love the way you did this. I love my Rooms of Wonder. I too am not a big socialiZer in my spare time. I work all week with adults with disbilities, and like quiet time on my days off. People als!o tell me I should get out more. Its not my thing. If they like it, good for them
People would probably tell me to get out more, too. But to be honest... I love spending my time at home in the company of my cat and family members that come visit sometimes. I'm just not very outgoing. Perhaps if I had a partner that was more outgoing, he would probably get me out more, haha. But only because I would want to spend my time with him 😅
That background looks so beautiful :) I think I would've coloured the image first and then do the background in soft pastels. But only because I do like using them for that purpose. Might consider getting this book some day. I already own Ivy and the Inky Butterfly and also Enchanted Forest.
I have this book just colored both the front an back cover's an am finally getting to color in the book soon so happy 😊😊 your picture is turning out Amazing 😍😍 TFS Sweetie 🥰🥰
The blender makes all the difference. 😮😊
Yes, I pre-ordered this book! I think I have them all and I will probably not live long enough to color them all, but I just love her books! Thank you for the inspiration to at least get one page done in this book. Your color choices are always spot on!
I preordered this book and was so anxious to get it that I checked out stores in my area and found out that there were two at a store near me! I ran down and got it. I just love it so much. I love the colors you chose for this room! Thank you so much😘
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I loved it! You made me laugh! I really enjoyed your telling of your life. Your accent had me listening very closely ( I’m from the U.S.). Thank you for an enjoyable time and by the way I loved the background!
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed yourself on your first visit. If chatty colouring is your thing, check out the playlist section on the channel. Conveniently there is one called 'chatty colouring' and there are lots of videos there. Thanks for stopping by!
As soon as your video popped up I squealed as I had been thinking of doing this page. Not watched all of it but I will follow every stroke. Brilliant choice of page. On a side note. I’m currently colouring the dressing room page and have no idea how to colour the mirror so a tutorial on glass would be welcomed. 🥰😀
Someone else asked me about this the other day - I don't think it was a mirror, I think it was more glass, but it's strange that I've had two requests for the same thing!
Might be able to squeeze that in before Cavemas, we'll see...
I've never been to a cèilidh, looks like fun but also very dangerous when alcohol is involved lol 😝
and yay for the kilt present!😀
They are 100% better with alcohol involved, they are NOT better with drunk people. One has to be able to hold ones' liquor for it to be an injury-free occasion!
Woot! I'm doing page two of the Lost Property Office atm with my Polys and it's definitely a bit slidey, but I will head to this one next when I've finished up. Gorgeous colours for the background Gem! Enchanted Forest was the second book after Secret Garden, then Lost Ocean 🙂
Thanks for clarifying the book order, my brain was definitely not in gear for filming! I have been eyeing up the lost property office!
@@TheColourCave I'm enjoying the Lost Property Office because I can just do a bit at a time. Although the perspective on the cabinet on the second page is a tad off and it keeps throwing me 🤣
Not just Scotland that old fashioned radios were so called - but here in England for us folk who remember such old fashioned radios. In my innocence I didn’t realise it would mean anything else - I need saving from myself sometimes. 😊
My husband is Scott-Irish, Gallagher and Kinkaid. Plus although I'm Sicilian by blood, I'm adopted and my dad's family were Rendelman and Hanley, so those wonderful little Scottish terms are fun for us. A nice little trick that I learned with the Prisma blenders in order to avoid them burnishing the paper is to warm them slightly with a lighter before using them.
Absolutely gorgeous background Gem! Reminds me of the northern lights. To have those as a bedroom backdrop would be a dream. I am a homebody as well, and everyone is always telling me I need to get out more, to which I say, what on earth for? ;)
So does Mr. Gem own his own Ghillies? 😀 I have Rooms of Wonder, but I'm not starting it until x-mas is in the tail lights. I'm so happy that you're coloring!!!!! ☺️ I love this book. I have no suggestions. I like to see what you come up with. 💕
Hiya I bought this book the other day cos of the pictures but they looked very confusing to do with me just learning to shade again. thanks so much for this tutorial and the way of describing it into bite sized bits. I am gonna try colour along with you and hope this turns out nice wish me luck
Hope it goes well!
It would be so good if it is real time and the narrative for the switch to the different colours portions wasn't so clear but it is a wonderful colored background.
Your lifestyle would suit me SO well. I have plenty going on in my head and my internet...
I’ve been enjoying watching others color in this book but I will not be buying it for myself. I just can’t handle the busy fussy pages they make me feel too anxious and overwhelmed. 😊
Interestingly, I felt like that when I first tried colouring. Now I enjoy more detailed pages because they are longer-term projects?
Im the same. I like being home surrounded by my art stuff and my books. Its happy for me. I hate it when people say I need to get out...
I love your colouring, I now need to get this book to follow along. Where did you buy your Prismacolors in the UK? I only got the 48 set on Amazon. I wondered if there is someplace where you can get it openstock to build it up over time because it is so expensive.
Yes there is! Emma at the Coloured Pencil Shop ( colouredpencilshop.co.uk ) seels a few brands open stock and it's where I buy my replacement Prismacolors. The 48 set was my first 'big' set too.
I was wondering how I would deal with the 'floating shelves' as they don't seem to be screwed onto anything and I think making the background a solid mass would look weird. Looking forward to seeing it completed.
Yay for coloring with Gem! Or colouring. 😊 The new paper and my pencils aren’t getting along. The color just sits on the surface and wobbles about Willy-Nilly. Any tips for toothing up slick paper? I’m kind of thinking of just sacrificing half the pages and using alcohol markers since they like the smooth slick paper. 😞
Gesso is an option, but I don’t like the way pencil behaves over the top- it feels too toothy if that makes sense?
Any time I do go down the gesso route I use a hard pencil like the Derwent artist.
Have you got the US version Legalpeon? I think you might find (bizarrely) a budget pencil works better, I've seen a few people using Brutfuner on the new book, Johanna has used her Staedtler and also Arteza but I think she might have been in the UK book. You could also get the UK version from Book Depository.
I made a test section with gesso to try. I do have the Derwent Artists to use on the test section when it cures. Thanks! And, @Mirrigold Ido have the US version. I’ll give the Brutfuners a try!
Great picture I love watching you color can I just say there seemed a lot of camera movement and zoom in and out not great with my eyes.
I can understand- it was only because a lot of it was sped up. Normally we don’t have that much movement! Thanks for watching!
It'll be nice with less talk please
