I really like how your showing how to use budget friendly colored pencils, I have the nice ones but sometimes I like the others.

@hermajestyqueenmarciamarti1151 3 года назад

I wish I'd taken art training but you have really helped me get smart about my coloring.i hope you realize what a great positive influence you are to me and, I'm sure, others who realize the importance of learning why and how color choices really matter. You are truly loved ...your mom did a good job with you. Love and thanks...Marcia in Modesto...p.s.i lived in Fort Knox during Vietnam war..I was 19 and boy did I have fun..thumbs down to snow and icy roads..thumbs up to autumn foliage, kentucky derby.

@sandrabarbera1222 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much to make a video that is simple for beginners to follow. Please continue making this kind of video. I get so intimidated with other videos OMG!!! to me it take the fun out of coloring with so much techniques. I understand I would love to color one day the same way but boy as a beginner I gust want to put down the coloring book and never picked up again to be honest. Thank you so much and 🙏🏼 keep making more simple videos. Love it.. I have a Sherry Baldy coloring book that is super cute that I want to try but there is not a lot of videos to watch for this kind of book

Erin I just found your channel this past weekend and cannot thank you enough! I've watched a half dozen or more of your videos and have learned some great tips from you!!! You are an excellent teacher!!! And this is coming from a 65 year old artist who has been doing this for years...you really inspire others and your talent is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing all your experience with others! God Bless, Rus from Bucks County Pennsylvania 🤓

@699jude 5 лет назад

A wonderful video, Erin. All that colour theory is probably things we've heard in passing, but you brought it all together and demonstrated it so well with some really beautiful images. A great tutorial or revision piece that will come in useful for most of us.

@hannahmarymchugh 3 года назад

I've learnt so much from your channel and I've only been subscribed 3 days. I've been watching other RU-vidrs for a while and i cant seem to learn anything because they make it seem so complicated with very large pencil sets with colours a begginer wouldn't have. You use cheap supplies sometimes too and its nice for begginers because it proves you can acheive really pretty art with low end supplies.

@RealMelodyBlue 3 года назад

Wow, a channel that shows you how to colour with Crayola coloured pencils! Thank you!

Fyi from a Barry about raspberries...individual raspberries are actually clusters of many fruits and each of those fruits are called " drupelets" and contains a seed. Usually the seeds are soft and not noticed when eaten. If you could watch a video of a berry forming, you could see how each drupelet grows by itself and they then get stuck together because they are growing so close to each other. That's why raspberries are so fragile. Not being a smartass, just answering your question. A benefit of being really old is the mass of useless knowledge one collects. 👵👍❤

@SimpleArtforAdults 5 лет назад

Omgosh Nancy. This is why we are friends. I am a sucker for random trivia, and clearly... you are too! Lol!

@nancyfenity9817 5 лет назад

@@SimpleArtforAdults Yes I am, but this tidbit comes from being a farmer's daughter. Lol! Growing food wasn't our primary concentration, but we did have orchards and gardens, including some berry bushes. We tried to grow as much as we could because farming is not a very profitable occupation. But it is a great way to live, especially for kids.

@SimpleArtforAdults 5 лет назад

Isn't it sad that farmers can barely make a living? And I agree that it's an excellent experience for kids!

@sheliahoosier4382 2 года назад

this answered my question about color placement. I wondered how to bring the page together and not be a big mess. I just found your channel and was disappointed to see you are not posting anymore.

@annalisamanderville1364 5 лет назад

I am so happy to see the completed Vilan San image💜. This video was so well thought out and well explained, thank you. I'm so glad you demonstrated using a posca pen, I recently puchased one and am getting ready to transition to using it instead of a gel pen for highlights. I want to add a little information for anyone who has a windows computer with a paint program. I discovered that the paint program has a color wheel and color scheme generator, so if you have a paint program on your laptop or tablet you might want to play with it to find out how to generate a color combination, it's pretty easy really.

Hey there Ky. Anywhere near Lexington or Nicholasville? That is a great video, so helpful. Just minutes before you said you didn't go to art school etc I was thinking this girl is like being in an art class. Great job, so many of you are crazy good and so helpful. Thanks for the smiles.

@ShanaCali 4 года назад

Excellent tutorial, reminds me of my high school art class with lights and shadows and the individual shapes with formation theory. I needed this reminder as I forgot show much since it's been too long ago. Now let's put it into practice.

@beverlydunn4741 3 года назад

Thank you Erin so much ..very easy to understand and follow along. Great explanation on of the light effects on objects..I've always found it a little confusing. Now I get it! I do love your finished pages and your thinking behind the color distribution. Enjoy your channel. I've had the rainbow color wheel for years since I started doing embroidery. I do find it helpful.

@kimmorgan88 5 лет назад

Kim(uk) Contd. Sorry Erin I managed to send the message before I was ready ( senior moment, me thinks). Anyway as I was saying I have a long way to go to be as good as you but I enjoy colouring and that’s all that matters. Thanks again Much love Kim x

@SimpleArtforAdults 5 лет назад

I think what really matters is that you enjoy yourself while you're choosing those colors! Haha. We all have to teach ourselves how to put what we see in our heads down on the page, and that takes time... but it can be done. :)

I think I put a link in the description. If I didn't I'll find one. Mine was a gift, but they are available on Amazon for $6 to $8.

@panther5031 3 года назад

Hello Erin. This video was very enlightening. Thank you. One question. What if your picture doesn't have a obvious "focal point "? For example ONLY a lot of flowers on a page (no vase or other item and no large or main flower) like in a lot of Johanna Basford's book World Of Flowers. Hoping you can advise💜💙💜💙

@sheilamarie5017 5 лет назад

wow Erin I really enjoyed this video. It was well thought out and very informative. I can't wait to try out your ideas in my own books now. One thing I wanted to ask is why my posca pen lets out huge blobs of ink instead of small dots like yours? Its very messy and ruined one of my coloring pages. :( Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. I am soooo glad you came back to the coloring world. We missed you

@SimpleArtforAdults 5 лет назад

Thanks, Sheila! I really appreciate that! I'm not sure why your Posca would do that. I have only ever used a black and a white and these are my very first Posca pens ever. I haven't experienced that. I know you aren't alone, though. Posca pens need to be shaken. It's acrylic paint inside the pen, and it can separate over time or due to the temperature. If you can, try to keep it at room temp (always) and give it a nice, hard shake (with the lid on - I made that mistake once and got Posca EVERYWHERE!) before you try to use it. Maybe try it on a piece of scrap paper to the side to make sure there aren't any clumps or anything before you move to your coloring book, too. And I'm so happy to be back! I missed all of you! Hugs!

@sheilamarie5017 5 лет назад

@@SimpleArtforAdults thanks for the quick reply and oh my goodness I can't imagine having the posca paint everywhere like that LOL Pooor you! Mine are the black and white ones too, but the white one just may be a dud as no matter how much or how hard I shake it, ......it always lets out a huge blob instead of a nice little dot. Grrr... They are in a pencil container on my desk , nib side down. Maybe they should be laying down flat? Or nib up? They should come with instructions lol ...thanks again Erin.

@nancyfenity9817 5 лет назад

Great video btw. I don't do as much shading as you. I guess I need to develop more patience. The pic in Vilin San turned out really gorgeous. You're becoming a pro!!

@SimpleArtforAdults 5 лет назад

Thank you Nancy! :) All that shading takes a lifetime so I don't always do it. Haha.

@kimmorgan88 5 лет назад

Kim (uk) Hi Erin Thank you very much for a great video, really helpful especially when choosing colours. I’m afraid I get so carried away with the colours by the time I’m finished it looks like a child has coloured the picture. Limiting myself will hopefully go some way to sorting that part of my colouring out
