How To : 3 Easy ways to Color Leaves 🍃🍂 | SECRET GARDEN by Johanna Basford 

Best teaching video I have seen! I have been so intimidated to start coloring after seeing so many beautiful colorists. The other videos use so many colors and going over and over with the shading. Your 3 step process is so easy to understand. I now have the confidence to tackle this book! Thank you!

This is one of the best leaf tutorial in you tube

Perfectly demonstrated, I really appreciate you taking the time to show me how it's done. I feel confident enough now to try my hand with my Prismacolor Premier pencils, Secret Garden book and the help of the RU-vid "Pause" facility! Thank you

I love your colouring tutorials, they are so easy to follow and the results are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your colouring skills with us all, it is truly appreciated.

I love how you listed the colors you were going to use for each flower and leaf! Haven’t seen any new videos from you... you are on of my favorites... I hope you didn’t stop...

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial!!! You made it seem so simple - I can hardly wait to try!

Love your explanations on how to achieve those effects

I just discovered your channel and i'm completely in love!!!! I've been binge watching your videos and I've learned so much. Keep up the awesome work!

PS... The Music was a wonderful addition to your videos and I enjoyed calming down with it as I watched them! Great idea!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach this. I can't wait to experiment with it!

Hello Davlina! THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating your tutorials the way you've done them. Seeing that wee bit of writing on the screen is great ... seeing the clear photos of the names and numbers of the pencils you have chosen listed at the very beginning of your project is VERY helpful to people like me who are trying to achieve the results we are viewing on our screens. I'm looking forward to viewing more of your projects.

Excellent tutorial! I just started coloring last week and the one issue I have is blending from dark to light and the whole process. After watching your video I think I can do much better now. Easy to understand and beautiful pallets. Now my only thing is I need to swatch my colors and organize them better so I can pick the right colors. I have 3 sets of pencils now so I have a lot of basic work to do. Thank you!

Tank you! I begin in this world and I saw a lot of technique on you tube by different artist but you are my favorite. 😉💞

Thank you so much. I just subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to watching them all. I ordered my set of 72 prismacolor pencils and the secret garden coloring book. I can't wait to get it. It looks like I better get the enchanted forest as well so I can learn how to do the frog. Thank you again. I also like the fact that you communicate with your subscribers when they ask you questions or when commenting on your beautiful coloring. That's a big deal to me. Thank you again.

Love, love, love! Thank you!

Beautiful! So we'll put together, loved this amazing video! Thank you🌺

Thank you so much , a very inspiring tutorial. You make it look so easy. It will change the way I color.

Thank you Ive learnt so much, Im new to colouring and was feeling overwhelmed at the blank pages lol! You've now taught me how to get started huge thanks!

Love your color combo

Thanks for sharing your techniques with us.

Very beautiful! Thank you!

I've finished all the leaves you showed us how to color on the 2 page picture from The Secret Garden. I'm now going to start on the flowers your tutorial shows us how to color. I'm very glad to learn you plan to finish the 2 page picture on RU-vid 😊👏. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish this beautiful/ page picture. I'm going to learn how to send you a picture of what I've colored. The colors on RU-vid look darker than my colored leaves do, but I'm still pleased with the results. Thank you, thank you again for sharing your talent with your subscribers 🎨🌸☺️

Thank you so much, you´re a great teacher!

So beautiful, thank you for sharing. I will certainly incorporate these things into my drawings, though I am sure they won't look as good. I appreciate all of your vidoes!

Thank you for a fantastic tutorial. Bravo

FANTASTIC Thank You So So Much 😊

Wow! 💖👍

I love your videos. Not to fast, easy to follow.

@Davlina Art ... this is so amazing demo & the relaxing music is an added BONUS ... been thinking of getting into adult coloring but no idea where to start ... this has given me an idea and picked up quick tips - thank you for posting this tutorial & look forward to future ones & subscribing to your channel

Wow! Like a lot of people I jumped on the bandwagon of Coloring Books. I loved to color when I was a child and with my nieces when they were younger. But as I colored I noticed how flat my coloring was and that my technique of outlining the item and then filling in with color wasn't working so I just put all my new coloring books away. I was so disappointed and because I didn't see the layers of coloring in the Greyscale Coloring Books and shading with Copics for making greeting cards I just figured that I did not have the skill to color any better than I did as a child. That all changed as I watched my first video of yours! I am so enthusiastic now to get those books back out and color! You have changed the way I now look at coloring books and color in general!! I wish I could tell you in words how much that means to me!! I also garden and as I am on my way to look at plants at the garden center I am excited to use the idea of lightest, medium and darkest colors to "Paint" with my flowers in my front yard! This is a wonderful new skill that I am thrilled to have found with you! While I don't have the time right now to put it into use in my coloring books I know that when I can sit down I will be able to accomplish it! Thank you oh so much for your help and the sharing of your skill! I did subscribe and look forward to viewing more of your awesome videos! I am so excited to color again and Thank YOU for that! With Joy! ~Laurie

This was very helpful thanks :)

Thank you.

tq for video....love from malaysia

You got a new subscriber! 😊

Thanks you so much for your informative videos, I am learning a lot :-) Could you do any tutorials on how to color houses in the future?

Thank you. Very helpful. Keep going!

I get a little hypnotized when I watch your videos! Thank you for sharing the blending tips, you are really clarifying for me how to achieve richer, more luxurious looks as I begin my quest into this crazy new coloring book fun! Question, by doing the 3-color on top of each other method, does this decrease or eliminate the need for using a blending brush or one of the blenders with mineral oil in them?

Thank you for the link on Amazon. I posted my recent coloring picture on your FB.

Well, I have actually started coloring in my Secret Garden coloring book, and I've got your tutorial to thank for it!! I'm pleased with the way my coloring is going. I want to thank you so so much!! My question is have you colored this whole page somewhere?

Just wanted to tell to those who don't have a set of 100+ pencil, I do this method all the time with only two shades and it turns out just as beautiful. Just try it.

wow

These are great shaped leaves, not all leaves are created equal and can be odd shapes to colour

hi i just discovered your videos and loved it maybe i missed it i watched it a few times anyway on the last leaf which color do u start with i only saw spring green and charteuse???? Thank you kindly

Davina thank you so much. How you mix the colours and the results are outstanding. But you are also a fantastic teacher. I only have 72 prisma color. Can I mix other brands?

wow this is amazing! i wanna know is that your pencil colors is watercolors or not? thankyou. keep up the good work 👍

Hello it’s been a while since your last tutorial, can you upload more tutorials on Secret Garden by Johanna. Please!

One more comment from my message below. I was looking at all your videos. Do you think you'll color people? I love to color flowers, but recently found myself coloring people such as in My Besties Coloring book. I would love to see a video of you coloring skin and clothes with your amazing talent.

wow..amazing... what brand of color pencil you are using?

You once said you use a brush for the wax bloom on your colorings, what brush do you use?

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing with us. Such soothing music you have chosen to put with....will you tell me who it is or what album (you can tell my age lol) is it on?? I might like to listen to this in a bubble bath!!! R E L A X =) Thank you!!! =)

Quick question - since I never know about "pressure", how hard is your pressure in each step? It looks quite heavy at the beginning of steps 1 & 2 and all through 3 but I have read a lot about "light layers" so wondering just how much pressure to use. Thanks!

This is a nice video. The music is perfect. I had some difficulties seeing the color as in the actual color and color level to the page as the lighting is a bit dim for me, but I'm sure others are OK with that. I could not read the pencil names so I did not know that the first set of leaves were blue, I thought they were a strange color of green that I've never seen before. I cannot afford any art supplies as I'm on a fixed income and I am using Crayolas. I was wondering why you don't use a blender pencil? It seems as though you are applying a lot of product on the page and that if you used a blender pencil you would not have to press so hard. My hands hurt when I color and I use a blender pencil. Also another question that I have is, why do you go back over, when you have the second pencil color, basically the entire darkest color that you have, and then with the lightest color you use, you go over the whole thing? Obviously I'm new to coloring and sketching so I'm trying to understand yours and others methods. I would love to read your response. Thank you very much for the video, and have a nice day. Merry Christmas if you celebrate 🎁🎄

Also apparently I should’ve bought the 150 instead of the 72. I don’t have the first color so now it’s all off. I don’t have second one either. I’m new to this and have a tremor but I can color. I’m going to learn these methods no matter how hard I have to try but what are the numbers? Maybe I can find the pencils individually at my local art store.

I wish you could see my flower I was able to color as a result of your tutorial!! It's beautiful and I have YOU TO THANK FOR IT!!!!! I just watched the Leaf Tutorial and am about to practice that. I practice before I color the real thing in The Secret Garden coloring book. Again I can't thank you enough!! Could I message you on Facebook? I'd like to discuss something with you. Thanks🌸🌸🌸🌿🌿🌿

It's like i can pick them off the screan

I enjoy learning some of your techniques and have subscribed. The only distressing things I see are how harshly you treat your beautiful pencils and you don't seem to be enjoying the art.

please can you say what colors you are using The split second you show the colour pencil I am unable to read it My flowers turn out to be a different colour from yours altjough I tried to match to the nearest colur It is very disappointing to me thank you

Whats the name of the lable of ur pens!!!
