Little children and being a caregiver to 3 elders… time found for coloring and painting is scarce and precious… often, the only time i get, i spend watching a video like this one and having a tall, Johny Depp style wine glass, on a Saturday night at 11 pm. So I feel your pain and appreciate the work and time you put it in this videos,. If i do not have the time and energy to pull my coloring and painting stuff out, î’ll gladly sit and watch one of your videos. So thank you. And sorry for all the comments.
Thank you for the comments, feedback makes it worthwhile! At least I know then what people are enjoying and finding useful ❤️ it sounds like you have a lot on your plate and I applaud you. It can be hard when we have to give so much of ourselves for others, but your time will come 😊 Johnny Depp sized wine glasses sound like my sort of thing 🤣
Thank you so much 😀 Much of it comes down to practise…..I colour a lot, and my days of art classes years ago have helped enormously too. But anyone we can all learn new things with some perseverance 😉 Thanks for watching and commenting, Jackie
Really happy that your video came up as a youtube suggestion, despite the fact that I nearly had kittens watching those water puddles while you worked on the sky until you blotted them lol ! I am new to working in colouring books, and to using colour in general, and your comments about being able to let go long enough to try out things, make mistakes, fail and learn from it all really resonated with me. I admit that it is the fear of making mistakes that is holding me back So, thank you and I look forward to watching more of your lovely, inspiring art work.
🤣😄 yeah I do slop a lot of water on! If you think this one is bad you should see the page I’m working on now…..the video is “Star Catcher” Part 1. Even by my own standards I used a lot, but it’s okay 👍 Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the channel…I’m very much about encouraging you to relax and have fun with your books (it’s only paper!) 😊 Regards, Jackie
This is looking absolutely beautiful. I’m loving the watercolour background. I want to try it so much, my need to control everything keeps stopping me. I will do it soon. I’ve promised myself 😜😜. Thankyou again for sharing your time with us❤❤❤
Yes! That’s the biggest part of this technique - accepting that you cannot control the outcome. I really recommend you set aside a book just for playing in - you don’t need to share your experiments, in fact, I think it’s best to expect some really ugly and dissatisfying pages to begin with 🤣 Anything else that happens will be considered a win! But you won’t really know what is possible until you let got of controlling the outcome ❤️
I will have to try this! New subscriber here, so happy to have found you. I love your style ❤ So encouraged by your words, that we should allow ourselves to fail It’s just a page 😊
Thanks for subbing and welcome! I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the video - I hope to encourage people to experiment,have fun and just enjoy their colouring time 😊 I appreciate you watching, Jackie
I think that with all the shading in this images, even a newbie would get great result. Matsuda style is very forgiving. ❤what a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! It’s easy to be intimidated by the details but this book is great because you have thumbnails, coloured pages and QR codes for inspiration, and if you really look at the drawings themselves, there is a lot of information there to help get you started too.
I love this book. Will buy it when i am out of my no-buy zone. Need yo color 3 pages in each of my books before. I am a water color girl so this book will be perfect for me!
Yes you can! You need to make sure it’s waterproof first….just do a few little test sketches maybe, let it dry thoroughly before you apply any water. Just remember this will not be lightfast - if you intend to create original art to display it won’t last long unless kept out of natural light (and that’s near on impossible in normal living conditions). I’d do a few tests in your sketchbook and date it, and check back at various times to see if it fades - I’d hate for you to do something you wish to last long term and find it has not. Hope that helps, Jackie
I am using Supertips but I would guess that any water based marker should work in the same way. I will be trying some different Crayola markers in the future 🤞
So very beautiful! 😍Different and much more creative than simply using pencils. I’m definitely going to try this technique, both the pic and especially the background. Love the unpredictability. Love the book too I’ve just put it on my wish list. 😍 Thank you again!
It’s a lovely book. And yes, it is very unpredictable and that’s precisely why I enjoy it 😉 there’s only so much you can plan so why not let go a little and just embrace whatever happens in our colouring books 😊
I’m going in! Just trying to get used to how much I need to put on, it soaks in quite fast but then continues to move around a bit Please could you show the back of the page, just out of interest?
Good on you for diving in ❤️ in part 2 I show the back before I proceed with pencils….I’m trying to remember to do that and will also try to show it in completed pages in future 🤞 Don’t expect to perfect this style on your first go, it will take some practise - but you can do it - have fun! 😊

Absolutely gorgeous,just love your style and attitude to the process and really appreciate your videos and your pictures always come out amazing ❤
Thank you so much! I am glad to hear you are enjoying the content 👍
Gorgeous! I absolutely love your watercolor videos. And I'm loving seeing you use the Crayola supertips in this way.
Thank you so much! I hope soon to try the Supertips this way in some different books too 🤞
Again absolutely gorgeous use of colors and the watercolor effects from just pens, I mean, you are so talented!!!!!!

So charming! The colors make my heart sing!
Thank you!
Love love love your style of colouring. That background is amazing.
Thank you, that’s lovely feedback to read ❤️ I do really enjoy these fun and somewhat random backgrounds 👍
Really happy that your video came up as a youtube suggestion, despite the fact that I nearly had kittens watching those water puddles while you worked on the sky until you blotted them lol !

I like your watercolor videos! I’ve tried it a couple times need to keep trying
It takes some practice but it’s not impossible, and along the way you might just find your own favourite way of using them 😊
Very, very beautiful and inspirative video ❤ thank you so much, with ❤ from Czech republic 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I am pleased to hear you are feeling inspired and I hope you enjoy your colouring time 😊

Oooohhh this paper looks like it can hold a lot of paper!! Wow
It copes with a decent amount, I was hugely surprised that the blue didn’t bleed through!
WoW!! I really love this wild look!! May try it myself! LOL!! Thank you. Sara x
That’s great to hear, have fun experimenting! 👍

I love this book. Will buy it when i am out of my no-buy zone. Need yo color 3 pages in each of my books before. I am a water color girl so this book will be perfect for me!
Watercolour techniques are fun and quick ❤️ it sure is a pretty book when the time is right to buy 😉
Can you imagine that background with granulating watercolors!!!
Yes! One day I might invest in some 🤣

Love this I’m wondering if you can use some kind of indelible ink to do own drawing to watercolour over , any one know of any techniques?
Yes you can! You need to make sure it’s waterproof first….just do a few little test sketches maybe, let it dry thoroughly before you apply any water. Just remember this will not be lightfast - if you intend to create original art to display it won’t last long unless kept out of natural light (and that’s near on impossible in normal living conditions).

Hi: I want to know if the washable crayola markers are ok or you are using another kind?
I am using Supertips but I would guess that any water based marker should work in the same way. I will be trying some different Crayola markers in the future 🤞
@@spare_room_studio Thank you so much, I am going to buy this book and some crayola markers !! Love your work !!
