I usually find it hard to pick a favourite because I love your style but the flowers in magical journey were definitely a stand out favourite for me this month. Just stunning!!
Omg thank you so much !!! Ya i love that one too! That book is just always calling to me !! Even though the paper isnt great ! Anyway thanks so much for your comment and happy weekend to you hun !
Omg no way !!!!! Wow !! Thank you for telling me this wonderful news! I had no idea! My favorite country in the world is Japan !!!!! Its my dream to visit there one day!
I'm a big fan of the LM Cullen books - really enjoyed your pages in her book; your Wonderland page is so vibrant & beautiful; gorgeous jellyfish; love how the eels pop off that blue page; super cute flamingo page. Thank you for sharing your work!!
Hi Maia, Your Finished Pictures are Absolutely Gorgeous and Amazing! My 2 favorite ones are the pictures of the Deer. The one in the Scandinavian Book, is Stunning! Thank You very much for Sharing. Have a Wonderful Holiday Weekend 💜💜
I love camile de rrico page and the Rain Forest page....I love them all!!!! Beautiful! I am loving how you use color!! So inspirational to me! well done!!
All of your pages are beautiful. I can tell that you have fun with your colorings!! I like how you embrace your talent and hobby. You do what YOU feel and don’t compare yourself to others, or put yourself down. Your channel is refreshing and fun to watch! Thanks Maia.
Thank you so so much for your wonderful comment !!! Its so nice to hear that !!! Thank you again for taking the time to leave me a comment and happy happy coloring to you !!
Hi Rebecca thank you so much !!! I actually showed in one of my coloring update videos a while back how i tackle double pagers, i work on them bit by bit over several months , so i have several going at any given time, like right now i still have 3 more that i started a few months ago and havent finished yet or 4 actually !
@@coloredbymaia6476 i will look that video up. As a beginner i find those so intimidating, but i appreciate what you mean take it one step at a time ,💖😷
I want a whole room wallpapered like the Exotischer urwald intro!!!!😮😮😮😮😮 holy heck, Maia!! Such impressive coloring 😍 the deer 🦌 pages! Just wow! Again, I love your use of metallic mediums!!! All around fantastic video. Have a great weekend and happy coloring to you my wonderful friend😊
Omg thank you soooooo much for the kind words !!! How are you ? What are you working on ? I still have some summer wips i haven’t finished, but im also looking for fall pages lol ! Happy coloring to you my friend !
@@coloredbymaia6476 I’m doing well, and you?! I’m working on a watermelon page in the Colouring Heaven Seasons issue. I figured I’d sneak in one last Summer page, lol! Fall pics are starting this week, though! Let me know when you’re up for the Fantastic Collections buddy color, no rush though. Take care, friend!💕
Can you show a page where you use pan pastels and the stuff you use on top? I would love to see how you do that❤. I loved❤❤❤❤ all your pages they were stunning ‼️
Hi Shelly thank you so much for the kind words !! And yes i will be doing a video on that because a bunch of people asked me for the exact same thing. !! Ill either put in a coloring update video or make a seperate video
Omg I have the rainforest watercolor book, I have literally had it forever, love it! I loved all your pages of course, my absolute favorite favorite was the 1 in Exotischer Urwald, I really loved the first one, the mermaids, and the Eel page from lost ocean ❤❤
Oh wow !!!! So you must have been coloring a long time !! Ya that rainforest book is really cool i need to finsih a bunch of wips in there ! I actally have a ton of summer pages to finish but im already thingking about fall pages lol !! Hope all is well my friend ! Happy coloring to you !
Hi Maia! Gorgeous, gorgeous pages for August! I always say that, but I think maybe you've outdone yourself this time. I love all the bright colors you used this month--all the bright greens and hot pinks and metallics. I think my fave was the mermaids with the dragon--that page was just stunning!
All your pages are beautiful. And you really do patterned pages well. My favourite I think is the title page in the German book. The colours are glorious. I'm dreading autumn, so I won't be very enthusiastic about colouring season specific pages. I really hate the darkness of winter so I start to get very stressed about it now.
Oy im so sorry to hear that ! My sister is actually the same way! She only loves summer because the gloomy days make her sad! I hope you can color some summer sunny pages to cheer you up during this time of year ! Thank you so much for the kind words by the way ! So so nice of you and very much appreciated ! Happy coloring to you !!
Your pages are beautiful. I love the mixed media approach you use. Its so fun ❤love the pop manga page and your Alice and the rabbit page. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent😊
One Gorgeous page after another Maia. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Especially information about paper quality is important to me. I'd like links or names of various books stores or outlets you use too, especially for used books or older books. If you can post those here .
Hi Nancy !!! Omg thank you so so much for leaving me a wonderful comment ! So i mostly use Ebay but there are other sellers that you can use like ThriftBooks, Half Price books, SecondSale, and i also like Book Outlet sometimes. Hope that helps, most of these sellers all sell on Ebay as well .
@@F3mal3Titan OMG no way mermaids in Wonderland? That is so amazing. I’m so so happy for you. Yay how wonderful hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It’s a wonderful book.
You are such an amazing colorist. Every page you open up I’m just like, “how”? I have such a problem with imagination, I wish mine was as vivid and wonderful as yours! And my favorite is the flamingo and the Abbotsford!
Omg thank you so so much for the incredibly kind words !!! You really make my day !! I love those pages too!, i promise you if you keep coloring you will improve slowly every month that goes by if you color a little every day. I’ve been coloring for a long time and i can tell you when i started my pages were very simple and nothing like they are now. Even in this past year i improved so much, practice makes perfect. Just keep enjoying and doing it ! Happy coloring !
Wow, just WOW!!! You are so incredibly talented Maia. The focus and detail you put into your backgrounds makes the pictures just explode off the page. So many stunning pages - the dragon, the Scotland double page, that last one in Rainforest Escape but my favorite I think is the Jellyfish. Love them all ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Oh my goodness !! Thank you for this wonderful comment !! I appreciate it so much , it so fun to hear ! Hope you’re enjoyng your coloring , what areyou working on? Happy coloring to you !!!
@@coloredbymaia6476 You are very welcome. The book Im working on is called My Colorful Town: A Coloring Tour by Chiaki Ida. I got it a few years ago on Amazon. Im not an experienced coloring person but Ive been learning a lot about all of the different tools and techniques that can be used to create more depth and quality in the completed pages so its been so fun to really become aware of the possibilities. Ive learned so much from you already so Im very thankful for that but more than anything I just love seeing your amazing creations and imagination ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Maia girl!! Every month you blow me away with your stunning work! You color unlike anyone and it’s always a treat to see where your mind took you on a page. Something I would have never thought of lol. I love it🔥🔥🔥My fav page is the Camila fish page or the rainforest escape. Do you have any videos showing how you color with watercolor pencil?
Lol Casey !! Your comment made my day !!! Thank you so so much !! I do show how i use watercolor pencils in many of my coloring update videos , dont know if you ever watch those but i also can make a separate video on that if you’re interested ! Thanks for asking !!
I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I'm so glad I did. Your use of so many media makes watching your videos a joy! I'm also learning about some books that I didn't know like the Wonderland by Amily Shen. I hope I can get one.
When I can choose my favorite page, you show me another one that is even more wonderful. You leave me confused 😂. And for you, what is the easiest way to use watercolor pencils?Tyvmfs this video ❤❤❤❤
Hi Lana !!! Omg thank you so so much for your wonderfully kind comment !! I actually plan on making a video about how to use Inktense and Watercolor Pencils so keep a lookout for that ! I know a lot of people ask me that so i definitely want to make a video about that
So many beautiful pages! I love the dragon and how much shimmer you gave the scales. I also loved the flowers in the Magical Journey bc the background makes it look like some sort of magical fire burning behind them. But my favorite is the Exotischer page, the colors and shimmer come together for a very striking appearance! You inspired me to look again for that book and I found it new on Amazon in stock surprisingly!
Omg no way thats amazing !!!! Its such a beautiful book ! Hope all is well with you my friend ! And thank you so much for the love ! Happy coloring hun
Maia, Your colorings are gorgeous!!! I especially loved the first page you showed in Mermaids in Wonderland of the mermaids holding up the dragon. The background with the blue glitterific is stunning. I also loved your kiwi page in The Magical Journey and finally my third favorite page is the Jellyfish page in The Lost Ocean. I’m inspired by your use of glitterific and color shift paints and they are on my wish list. However, I didn’t care much for the green color shift paint used in the background in the coloring book of Scotland (but loved the rest of your picture!) Could you explain why and when you use the Satin Glazing Liquid? I bought the Gloss version based on the recommendation of another RUclips colorist but haven’t used it because I don’t know what I’m supposed to use it for. When do you use the Degas Fixative? Do you spray all your finished pictures with this fixative or some other sort? When you say Supracolor watercolor pencils, I assume you are referring to the Caran d’Ache brand; I’m confused because Caran d’Ache call their watercolor pencils Prismalo (different colored barrels) or Museum/Museum Aquarelle (all pencils have black barrels). The Caran d’Ache regular, non-watercolor pencils are called Supracolor which is what you refer to your beautiful pencils. Lastly, I have The Magical Journey & The Magical City books and would love to see you do some color alongs in these books. Following from Hawaii🏝️
Wow i love this long wonderful comment you made my day !!!! Lol i know that green paint on the Scotland page and flamingo isnt everyones cup of tea, but i personally love it, its my favorite color lol ! I loved hearing your opinions. So for the fixative, i will show how i do it in a video because i got a lot of questions about it. So i use the satin glazing liquid with a brush on top of the pan pastel and it fixes it. The other fixative i use if im not worried about watercolor pencil running so like if i did the background first or if the other pencil work is regular pencil. And yes i am referring to the Supracolor Soft pencils by CARAn Dache, they are amazing and my current favorite pencils !!! Love them so much . I would love to do color alongs but i dont have the right equipment yet to do a color along but im working on it. But i do have shorter tutorials and tips on my channel, such as in my coloring updates videos dont know if you watch those but ya definately check them out.
Hi Maia, I’m from the UK and I absolutely love your work, it’s amazingly beautiful and I love your colour choices. Yesterday, inspired by you, I brought some acrylic paint to do a background. It was a complete disaster 😂, the brush was shedding black bristles in it, the paint was drying too fast, the brush strokes were showing along with the bristles! How on earth do you get your acrylic paint backgrounds looking so amazing, they’re seamless, no brush strokes and no sneaky bristles!!! In the end I added a little bit of water to the paint and used a foam brush. Please send help 😂
Omg ! Sounds like you had an interesting time! Definitely use a practice book that u don’t care about first! I do have brush strokes but they’re not as noticeable on camera, plus i use a good quality brush and often do 2 coats! Except when using black gesso because its so thick you only need one coat ! Keep practicing! Everyone starts like you and eventually perfects it with practice! Practice makes perfect!
@@janeling5897 any brush that doesn’t have the little hairs fall out, it can be a cheap brush for acrylic. I only recommend quality brushes for watercolor. Using Acrylic in coloring books is very tricky and hard I’ve had many disasters in the past ! Keep practicing and also try different background techniques! I hope that helps! And always feel free to ask me any questions, I enjoy chatting with other colorists, and besides that i love people from the UK !! The kindest most awesome people in my opinion!
Aahhh, thank you for replying again. I would love to know your colouring journey, when and how you started. You’re so talented and very confident with all your pages. Any set backs that you’ve had with colouring pages. It would be amazing if you could maybe do a short video about your colouring journey. You are definitely my favourite youtuber, you always sound so happy and I could only dream about being as good as you. Take care Maia
Hi Maia, i just started coloring so I have a very basic question. After finishing the page with pastel as the background, you put the satin only in the background or the whole page? Your pages are beautiful! Thanks
Hi Soraia ! I love your name lol ! So glad you found this wonderful hobby! I put the satin only on the background to fix the pan pastel , with a brush i apply it. I can show how i do it in a coloring update or a seperate video, do you watch my coloring updates? I answer a lot of questions there, but i had a lot of recent questions about this so i will probably do a video on it , happy coloring dear !
@@coloredbymaia6476 Thank you Maia! yes i try to watch most of the videos when i can. That makes sense. I'm waiting for the supplies to experiment but i'm trying to learn. I was looking for an alternative to fix the pastels without using the fixative spray. I also heard that applying satin and then color (in my case with markers. I can't really do pencil) it ruins the tips. So your solution really intrigue me and solves my problem 😊. Every is new. A lot to explore in this world full of colours and creativity! your pages are beautiful. ❤ thank you😊
Well done this is amazing great job please to continuous audience support please
Love your bright bold colourings, beautiful work. ❤xo

Using Acrylic in coloring books is very tricky and hard I’ve had many disasters in the past ! Keep practicing and also try different background techniques! I hope that helps! And always feel free to ask me any questions, I enjoy chatting with other colorists, and besides that i love people from the UK !! The kindest most awesome people in my opinion!
Aahhh, thank you for replying again. I would love to know your colouring journey, when and how you started. You’re so talented and very confident with all your pages. Any set backs that you’ve had with colouring pages. It would be amazing if you could maybe do a short video about your colouring journey. You are definitely my favourite youtuber, you always sound so happy and I could only dream about being as good as you. Take care Maia
Hi Maia, i just started coloring so I have a very basic question. After finishing the page with pastel as the background, you put the satin only in the background or the whole page? Your pages are beautiful! Thanks
Hi Soraia ! I love your name lol ! So glad you found this wonderful hobby! I put the satin only on the background to fix the pan pastel , with a brush i apply it. I can show how i do it in a coloring update or a seperate video, do you watch my coloring updates? I answer a lot of questions there, but i had a lot of recent questions about this so i will probably do a video on it , happy coloring dear !
@@coloredbymaia6476 Thank you Maia! yes i try to watch most of the videos when i can. That makes sense. I'm waiting for the supplies to experiment but i'm trying to learn. I was looking for an alternative to fix the pastels without using the fixative spray. I also heard that applying satin and then color (in my case with markers. I can't really do pencil) it ruins the tips. So your solution really intrigue me and solves my problem 😊. Every is new. A lot to explore in this world full of colours and creativity! your pages are beautiful. ❤ thank you😊
What are the water colors you used for this, like the brand and where do you get them?
Hi there ! You mean the metallic ones ? Or regular?
