As a longer time colorist, I would advise against buying multiple books from the same artist at first. You will find that as you build your collection you will quickly have more books than time to color in them. I wish someone had given me that advice. My collection would be wider, as opposed to deep, and I would have spent less $ on books I ended up destashing, like Lost Ocean, because I thought I needed the whole collection.
Ok, opinion. I am early 60s and mostly retired from parenting a LG family. Our dog has been gone for a year. Hubby works full time yet and we hike on the weekends. But my week days are long and quiet and our neighborhood is super quiet with no interaction. It used to be wonderful, with lots of interaction but it has changed. We have grand kids but some are out of town while others have thier own routine that are in town. We visit as much as we can. I found coloring in Feb and fell in love. I color everyday in between chores. I finish detail pictures because I work on them often. I fear I am coloring too much but i do love it. I do not want the stress of a job outside the home. Again I do my chores and cook simple meals. Thoughts? Can a person color too much.
Omg no! Never feel guilty for filling your days doing what you love! I truly believe that we need to spend our life having as much fun and experiencing as much joy as possible. As long as it fills your heart with joy and you're not pressuring yourself to colour than go full steam ahead 😅 I was feeling very lost in life for awhile and now that I've found colouring, I'm feeling a lot more at peace and fulfilled. I wish I had more time to colour! Colour as much as you want ❤
Same here and thanks. As a mom having to rethink my role in life I have truly found a love on coloring. I have all diff books for all diff moods. I have diff coloring media and change often. When I finish a picture (lots of Creative Haven) I can't wait to start another. Haha But I get my responsibilities in my life done. So not neglecting responsibility. I have had a very full role as mom and feel satisfied by that but now am finding creative side. Thank you for your kind response. 😊
Happy belated birthday! 🎉 I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with your new supplies and books! I too love almost every page in Shooting Star. I’m hoping to color in it on our upcoming vacation…but still need to decide which pencils to bring! 😂 Enjoy your new goodies and thanks for sharing the link to your storefront!
What a wonderful selection of items you bought!!! Wow.....would love to see more colour alongs and definitely join you for some of them.....absolutely love your colouring style!!! 😊💐
I’ll definitely be doing some more colour alongs in the future! They do take me a while to film and edit but I will hopefully be able to do 1-2 a month 💕☺️
Oh yay. I am so happy you received the full set of Prismacolors. I hope you will come to use them often. You can purchase them individually. And yes, they do break. Mine break because they are constantly rolling off my desk onto the hardwood floor. I love the range of colors in this set and when using other brands, I am always looking for a color similar to Prisma's. You purchased a nice set of books too. I have a feeling you will soon be purchasing more. 😝
So happy you got your very first Maria Trolle book and her best yet!! 🥰I’ve already coloured two pages and can see myself colouring every single page!! I’m also a fellow Aussie living in north Brisbane and would love Rita to do an Aussie book ❤ Prismas are my fav!! And love the Tgaal sharpener! It’s the only one I’ll use with my Prismas!! 😊 happy colouring 🤗
lovely video! congrats on your new purchases and gifts 😊. I have never had an issue with Prisma breakages! but I've had my set for years, circa 2017?! so I wonder if they just don't make them like they used to 😂 like everything else. Happy coloring!! 🖍🎨
I also have the dahle 33 and I love it, but it's not very practical if you want to take your coloring books on a train ride or just take them with you if you go on vacation.
If you want an opaque paintpen you might want to look into molotow. Yes they are a little more expensive but refillable, for the long term way better! And they are sooooo nice compared to all the others i tried over the last 10 years🤗💕
love all your new supplies, you are bitten by the bug now for sure!! lol.. not sure if you know.. but your local Officeworks sell open stock Prisma's and also Eckersly art stores - they also sell several other pencil brands open stock, so you can pick up a few to try, , Im in Sydney, local Ayussie gal!
Could you be anymore adorable 🥰 New subscriber and loving your content so far. My favorite pencils right now are the Arttxx. I love the quality and the container is perfect. Might need a nice rubber band for travel.
I have made shooting star my project book and I am planning to color it cover to cover . I love the paper and the illustrations are not too complicated.
With my broken prismas I heat up a wheat heat pack in the microwave and then wrap them in that until it cools, the wax melts a bit and they reform. I do this with all my broken ones and I swear by it. Also the prisma that kept breaking on me to start with was my chocolate one too, very frustrating but give the heat trick a go.
Dropping any of the Prismacolor Premier colored pencils hard enough will make it where when you sharpen those that the leads will keep falling out of those pencils meaning that you won't be able to use those Prismacolor Premier colored pencils.
Hello there from Germany :D First of...nice choosing for the coloring books :) And no it doesn't open the german amazon page if I use the amazon us link in the video description, but enough of that... I need to continue my started page in "meine reise durch asien", but maybe I should finish my diamond painting so I have more room on my desk xD I think my next coloring book haul will ether be on amazon jp or etsy as I really want eriys coloring books and some other jp coloring books >.< And just as you do I can't wait for melpomenis next book, but there also will be the next maria trolle book, well the swedish edition, in this fall I think. Luckily my birthday is in october so maybe I should consider to wish for an amazon gift card.
Shoot! Sorry about the Amazon page, does it do that if you click on the items in my storefront too? And I had no idea about Maria Trolle’s new book! Thank you for letting me know 🤩✨
I use Pinterest! I search for a specific book and then usually if I click on the page I’m interested in, the algorithm will show me more like it. I might touch on this in a future video because there are a few ways that I find specific pages 🥰
Quick question…did you get Orchid and Amethyst in your Prisma set? I didn’t, and got two white instead and the colourless blender. It’s supposed to be the full set but it really isn’t 😢
Hi hun beautiful haul I’m up in Townsville Qld.. I agree I’m hoping Rita’s next book 📕 has got Australia in it.. this country is magical beautiful country sand stone mountains I saw a show on 7 called weekender they showed NT and WA,.. thank you for sharing ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx
I have the 160 set! They’re not actually called “Brutfuners” on Amazon but that’s what it says on the barrel. Check out my Amazon storefront, I have them linked there ☺️💕
