This is brilliant! With the makeup brushes. I’ve been following you for years and your talent in general is a reason but particularly your creativity with backgrounds and what that adds to a page vs keeping it white makes such a difference. I’ve gotta look into these gel crayons.
I love the colors you chose for the background. Definitely some of my favorite colors. I’m currently coloring in the Annie Stegg Gerard book Midnight Vale as a buddy color with Lovella of Lovella’s’ Coloring RUclips channel. Also working in Klarna Markova’s Fairy Celebrations, Magical Dawn by Hanna Karlzon and Goddesses by Coco Wyo publishing. Phew! Lol
Looking fabulous, really lovely with a super background. I’m so excited about the arrtx review, I’m very much looking forward to that. I love the pencils. I’m saving to buy the 126 set, they are a bit pricey so I have to be patient. Xx😘
Very pretty. I first found your channel a year or two ago via a gel crayon background tutorial (the cottage with soft yellow background in Meine Reise durch Europa). I really like how easy the technique is, and how well it can be erased.
Ah! Now I understand why I didn’t get on with gel pens, I was scribbling on the paper and finding it difficult to blend with water. Lovely to hear from you again k
This background looks fabulous k! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. I hope you have a lovely day thank you and God bless you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Have never tried gel crayons but seems an easy and effective way to do backgrounds, thank you for this! I am currently colouring Melpomeni's book Circle of Life and am also looking forward to her new book.
Your background colors are beautiful K and they look like they lay down smoothly too. I just finished a page in the Fairlandia book (cute pictures, awful paper) on Sunday and I started on the Askafroa page in Kerby Rosanes Mythic World yesterday. I can't wait to watch your Kerby color-along.
Thanks so much, I was in the middle of filming the Kerby colour along, and my camera stopped working, so just in the process of getting it sorted, thanks for watching! 😊
Gorgeous background and makes me want to buy those crayons and brushes! Could you post your Amazon link? I would like to support you in saving for your home but we girls must stick together, I would very much like to buy you and kitty the Lu Lu book and couple of the other items you talked about. I really appreciate all you do and I’m leaning so much from you and just want to sent you a care package if that would be ok with you.
Aww that’s so kind of you but honestly, I am more than grateful for you watching my videos. The link for the oil pastels is: www.amazon.co.uk/Sennelier-Pastels-Iridescent-Assorted-Selection/dp/B084CVY8V4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1RHCT3E4HND05&keywords=Iridescent+Sennelier+oil+pastels&qid=1675184956&s=amazon-devices&sprefix=iridescent+sennelier+oil+pastels%2Camazon-devices%2C71&sr=1-3
Your background is amazing hun we are currently in summer hear in Australia we’re I am in the tropical north Qld it’s raining we are on flood watch.. I’ve never seen snow it’s been raining hear since last Friday on and off ❤
I clean them between colours using a paper to get most of the previous colour off and if the colours are similar I might not even bother doing that. When I’m finished with a picture I use a drop of washing up liquid and rinse with warm water and leave them to dry, seems to work okay!
@@ColouringwithK It is a really big colouring book with extremely details from fantastic fantasy worlds. I know you gonna love these one!!! It sold out right now, but new ones are coming soon. I cannot wait to order this one!
Love this! It's motivating me to get my gel crayons out again! I'm curious about the Artxx review and on which book(s) you'll try them. On Amazon US the Artxx professional 72 set looks different from the Artxx professional 126 - even the barrels have an entirely different design and I am puzzled by that, so I'm looking forward to seeing what your 126 set looks like!
Hi K. I'm colouring in Symphony of Cute Animals at the moment I love Kanuko Egusas illustrations. I have to confess that big open backgrounds just scare me. I've ruined some pages trying to make a night sky so now I leave well alone.😁😁
Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial. Such a lovely background you've created with gel crayons and you make it look so easy! Definitely something I will look forward to trying. Do you have any links to some good gel crayons?

Love these colors, K. They're just lovely!!

Hello K! Thank you for your nice wishes, I haven’t been coloring much, and I’m also very tired! Beautiful background ❤
You are so welcome and I hope you get your energy back soon and can get back to your colouring x
Lovely , colours are are simple but very effective ,i will have a go at this , thankyou .

They are a bit pricey but quite worth it in my view, if you enter the draw, you could be one of the lucky winners! All the best 😊
@@ColouringwithK yes I have and got everything crossed 🤞🏻🤩😘

That works well. I might try that but with distress inks. I don’t have gel crayons.
It should work well with Disress crayons or inks too 😊

Oh wow! Hope you’re having fun with your colouring 😊
looks really pretty
Thank you!
Beautiful background! Do you clean your brushes between colors or wipe them off? How do you clean them when you are finished with a picture?
I clean them between colours using a paper to get most of the previous colour off and if the colours are similar I might not even bother doing that. When I’m finished with a picture I use a drop of washing up liquid and rinse with warm water and leave them to dry, seems to work okay!
PS. Yes it’s suddenly gone really cold here. No snow for us, but the house, away from the wood burner, feels very chilly tonight.
Can’t wait for Spring! 😊

@@ColouringwithK Thanks. These are going on my amazon wishlist :-)
Thank you, it’s beautiful
I'm glad you like it
Did you buy the gel crayons in the uk or import them? I was looking for some to try but struggling to find similar ones to the ones you used.
The gel crayons were from a Amazon UK
Thank you for sharing that lovely demonstration. I’m wondering if the gel crayon background is smeary after being applied? I have never used gel crayons.
They are a real joy to use. They don’t smear or smudge at all.
No smears or smudging after application, they really are lovely to use!
I preordered the Melpomeni book. The astrology is not my thing either. Not sure abt the aliens one.
Ive been fighting fatigue a while now. I hope you feel better soon.
Im enjoying working in Kingdom of Cur Cres. I love it! It was a Christmas gift.
Enjoy the kingdom of curious creatures, hope you get over the fatigue and feel better soon 😊
@@ColouringwithK Thank you, K.

Thanks Chelsea x

Can you use gel pens and other things over them?
I've just finished my first two buddy colours and not started anything else yet. Xxx
Hope you’re having fun with your January colouring, take care x
@@ColouringwithK thankyou. I am definitely having fun. Hope you are too xxx
I wish you had a patreon
May be in the future, thanks for suggesting 😊
