Hi !! I love your Avatar name lol !! Um yes i absolutely can !! I actually have a color with me video coming out soon which shows how i use the Coliro paint , for acrylic i can do a video as well but many times it needs 2 layers!! Acrylic is the hardest medium to use for beginners in coloring books, it takes a lot of practice and trial and error .
Hi Maia Beautifully completed pages. Honestly some books would not appeal to me to colour, but you turn any page into something beautiful and your own style, turning it into masterpieces, bravo 💙👏👏
Beautiful pages once again Maia! I just love watching you, your coloring is amazing! I can't wait to see you do some videos on how you make all these beautiful pages! 🥰
Really like your flamingo page and the Dream Coloring for Kids page. The colors are beautiful! Thanks for the heads-up on the quality of the Hampson hardcover paper - very good to know.
Hello Maia 👋 I am still just blown away by how amazing your pages end up! 😮 The page in Dream Colouring for Kids is my favorite this month. It looks so dimensional! Gorgeous work on everything. I might be convinced to get an Erie book. Maybe 😂. I would love ❤️ 😍 to see a video of how you do marker base with pencils on top. Keep doing the awesomeness that you do, my fabulous friend!!!! 😊
Karry thank you so much you’re the best !!! And thanks for the feedback i will do that video for sure ! , ya the Eriy books i never thought i would like until i actually colored in them and i fell in love !!! Now they are my favorite books ! Crazy
Adorable squirrel page. It was interesting to see your changes to the Lost Ocean double (I was hoping to finish off that right hand page...) You rock at what you do.
Thanks so much Allie !!! You’re always so kind to me , i appreciate your compliments coming from a wonderful colorist such as yourself !! I watch all your videos by the way i love how your brain thinks and how you explain your thoughts so well !! Sending much love my friend !
gorgeous pages! as always!!! i’m really hoping artists like RJ Hampson and Morgan OBrien just give up on getting any quality paper out of Amazon printing and give us a downloadable option. The paper is so bad!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pages
Hi Maia , beautiful pages . Hard to choose a favourite. I really love the dream colouring still though . I managed to find a new copy of the book on eBay UK 😄. Waiting for it to arrive! 😊
Omg New Zealand !! Awesome !! My sister did an internship in New Zealand once and really had a great time. Glad you like my channel !! Thanks for subscribing and for leaving me a comment,, have a wonderful coloring week !
Hey Maia!! Wow!! That lost ocean page is amazing!! I feel yours is quite different, but i saw it so long ago I can't remember. All are amazing as always. 🖖👽
Hi thank you Doodle ! Ya its different ! I only followed the water part and the rocks part lol , i just thought it was so cool it inspired me to start that page! I actually got a second copy of lost ocean at a used book store because the paper was so much better than mine !!! My copy of lost ocean is one of the first American Editions that came out so its the one with the crappy paper !! Later copies of JBs books have better paper . So i can always do that page again in a different way one day ! Hope all is well my friend !!
Hi Maia! Very Happy to see that You got some of Your WIP'S finished! All of Your Finished Pictures turned out Absolutely Gorgeous! You always do such Spectacular Work! Have a Wonderful Weekend 💜💜
Maia your work is stunning! I love them all, but the deer page & the Eriy pages are probably my favorites! Actually who am I kidding - every page is my favorite! Yay! I always love seeing your completed pages, thanks for sharing, sweet friend! ❤
In order to save cost, I'd rather see RJ Hampson go with a soft cover and put that savings into an even better quality paper. The newer paper still isn't what I would describe as good. Not worth the added cost for his current hardback books.
Hi Valerie !! I agree with you completely !!! I only got one hardcover book its my first of his and i dont have any of the softcover ones . I really thought the paper would be thicker
What can I say, absolutely stunning pages as always, massive WOW from me. Do you plan out your pages before you colour them or do they just evolve? Love from your friend in the UK 😊
Thank you so much my dear friend !! The first few elements just come to me in a vision type thing idea, and the parts that dont i leave to the end and push myself to finish those parts so i can finish the page. The last parts of the page are always hardest for me because i dont have clear vision for them usually
Hi Maya!!! Love your pages!!! and I also love the pages in your opening!! They are glorious! Can you name the books that they are from?? I love the pictures as well!!
Beth !! Thank you so so much dear ! , the pages are from : Eriy Romantic Country second tale, Dromenvanger by Tomislav Tomic, and Secret Worlds by Stephanie Law, some of my favorite books for sure haha ! Hope that helps !
Hi Brandy ! Thank you so much for your kind comment ! Ya i usually abandon lost Ocean but then this summer i ended up watching a bunch of Olivia Odorants videos and it inspired me to work in Lost Ocean because that is her favorite book lol.
Hi Beth !! Usually i dont prep my pages, especially if the paper is half way decent. I do prep my pages in 2 instances. One when the paper is very thin, and the other if i know i want to use a lot of watercolor on a page. Hope that helps you ! And when i do prep its with Satin glazing liquid by Golden
Lol hi Michelle !!! I know i hear that a lot !!! My tip is to not set a time limit on it ! And leave it alone for a while, pick it up and do a little and then leave it alone again ! I need to do a video on that ! Seems like lots of people have this problem !! Lol, thanks for leaving me your thoughts ! Happy coloring dear ! Just keep coloring weather you finish a page or not it really doesnt matter, what matters is the process of fun , relaxation, and creativity !
Hi Deb !! I actually don’t do anything to flatten them, but sometimes i stack my books 📚 so maybe that helps? But i have heard one can Iron their pages to flatten them so i may try that
Hello dear ! I have a video of my favorite coloring supplies and will come out with another one soon , but for total beginners I would recommend whatever set you can afford of Prismacolors (if thats too expensive than brutfunner squares) , gelly roll gel pens, an electric sharpener (i like Jarlink)
