When I was in secondary school, the subject I got consistently low grades in was art class.
I made it mean I was not good enough: I lacked talent and I'd better look for something else to do with my life because painting was not going to be it for me.
Decades later, after taking a completely different career path, I am giving myself the chance to learn art again. Colouring, drawing, painting, sketching and illustrating. I’m trying them all.

Hello everyone, it’s one of my favourite videos to make: the completed pages from the month that just ended! In my case, though, it’s not one month, but three. In this video, we’ll be going through the pages I completed in November, December and January. It also includes the first page from my new series, From Holland with Love.

Thank you so much for the mention and tagging me! I love your landscape and colour palette!
@@allisondawrant thank you, Allison, for everything you do! You are such an inspiration and watching your videos brings so much joy to my day. Wishing you all the best!
Wonderful finishes. You do some nice work.
Thank you! 😊

Very Beautiful Coloring Pages
Thank you!
I really like the canal house in watercolor
That’s my favorite as well…
I like the chatty videos!
Happy to hear that because I love making them! 😊
Love the poem you wrote ❤
Thank you ☺️
I’m so glad I came across you! All 4 of my grandparents immigrated from Netherlands to USA. I love hearing your accent and look for to more videos from you and learning more about my heritage.
Welcome! So cool! Hope you enjoy seeing all the Dutch houses and flowers!
I would love to see the page in the Eriy book 🙂 Your video reminded me of something. I grew up in hungary. As a child, I was about 4-5 years old, I always wore Klumpa in the summer. 😂I can still remember the bright red color they had and the noise they made when running. 😂 80's. 😆 We also call them Klumpa in hungarian. (Now I know why 😁)
@Melinda.H ooooh how similar these two words are! Glad it sparked some good memories. 😊 And I’d love to tackle that page. Have a lovely day!
What a fun video, lots of beautiful Dutch illustrations to choose from!
@@cinqcolours thanks so much! Which page is your favorite from all of these?
@ I don’t own and of the Rita Berman travel books (I have all the season ones) but the pages in Europa look gorgeous!
It’s a really beautiful book, indeed. Her illustration style is a favourite for me.
Are there any books from this list you’d like me to colour in first?
Are they wax or oil based?
To me they are more comparable to Prismacolor than to Polychromos so wax.
What pens are you using
Hi there! These are the Arrtx acrylic markers.
I believe Morgan O'Brien is from Ireland. Lots of great books, thank you for sharing your haul!
Oh, thanks for letting me know! 😊
Great haul ... there were quite a few books in there I have never seen before !! Enjoy!!
@@ColourAndCollageWithEms thank you! Glad you got some inspiration out of it!
Beautiful Coloring Haul
Thank you!
@colourandthecity Your welcome
As I sit here, in my favorite spot on my couch with my lap desk and colouring pencils in hand, I’m listening to the lessons you’ve learned over the past year and I found myself agreeing with all of them! 😂 I’m actually selling some of my pencils now because I only gravitate to my polys or prismas, though I do enjoy my Derwent drawing pencils as well. I prefer colouring nature over architecture. Johanna is still one of my favorite artists. And I have simpler books that use for markers when I just feel like putting colour on paper. Thanks for sharing your ideas, I’m happy to hear I wasn’t the only one that felt this way! 😊
I love this! I’m happy that I contributed to your day even in a small way. 😊
Beautiful Coloring
@@Disneyandcoloringwithjamie thanks! 😊
Ik heb genoten van deze video. Ik ben in 2020 begonnen met kleuren (idd tijdens de lockdown). Mijn eerste set kleurpotloden was de castle arts. Later kocht ik de brutfuner square, en vorig jaar kreeg ik de polychromos voor mijn verjaardag. Tja dan merk je wel een verschil. Ik ga het ook bij deze 3 houden. Maar de polys gebruik ik het meest. "Shaden en blenden" ben ik echt niet goed in, maar ik geniet van wat ik doe. Mooie pagina trouwens in small victories. Groetjes vanuit België 😊
@@gretamorrhaye1623 Bedankt voor je commentaar! Ik ben ook dol op de Polychromos, vooral op het papier van Johanna's boeken. Ik ben ook niet zo goed in alle potloodtechnieken, maar dat maakt niet uit. Ik vind het goed wat je zei - het is belangrijk om te genieten van wat je doet, en ik wens je veel plezier met je kleurpotloden!
Please someone tell me DOES ALCOHOL MARKER SEEP THROUGH?!?!
@@Cheerleader9501 hi there, yes, it does.
@@colourandthecity Aww man. Well, thanks anyway!
@ yes… I’m afraid it’s very difficult to find any books where alcool markers truly don’t go over to the back of the paper, and this book is double sided.
Do you find the Mythographic paper difficult to work on? I find it is is almost smooth but with a lot of texture, almost coarse -- or too toothy (if that makes sense). I can't seem to find many pencils I like using on it. I have also used alcohol markers as a base, but I feel it changes the texture of the paper a bit, and not for the better. I do a lot of layering in my coloring technique, and I also find the paper doesn't seem to like a lot of layers. The only Mythographic book I have enjoyed coloring in is Wild Summer by Joseph Catimbang. I found the paper to be a bit different to the other books paper. It was smooth, but not very textured and coarse. I love the images but I really dislike the paper. Also, to add -- I have the American version of the books as I live in the states. It could be different for you since you have another version. Just wondering? Thank you for sharing all your lovely pages!
@@nicolemarie011 hi and thanks for your feedback! I have two Mythographic books - one in the original English version, and one in Dutch. The paper is vastly different between the two. I recognize the toothiness you mention in the English version, while the Dutch version is a bit smoother, but in a good way. If you like the illustrations but are having trouble with the paper, you may want to try buying the Dutch edition? Not sure how widely available it is in the US, but if you want to look it up, the publisher is MUS. This one, for example, available on Amazon.nl www.amazon.nl/Joseph-Catimbang/dp/9045327422/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?crid=1ZWKLEWCOPC4A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CLhEfVl-VWWD8QO0bzJWy7JAxAHW5jQZ5kAbTowVZQ8rOYbcBo_ynn8L9BdNmJEx24C1-Katc2umPrTkWC7kWIMkZtR2FlLY6pfkG8do7OqSv-g0m9H3ZK85WTjlEMJ_kxc4O1RGGVkpSoeBZ93JAnOiNIak56a6P8vmcnvtpS8yumMk9MOiDlQ8yIqsgUA34RQ8_AtFlsc7ArLwvroCIw.GbAmeZO6qt7rWzX2n8l0kwE5GTSghH6sMKOhPH-dV90&dib_tag=se&keywords=mythographic+wild+winter&qid=1731259107&sprefix=wild+winter+my%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-9
@@colourandthecity Thank you for your feedback. I loathe the US versions of books. LOL😄 I don't know why they use such bad paper, but ordinarily I find the UK or foreign versions tend to have better paper and construction than our US counterparts. I really wish the Book Depository hadn't closed down. I use to go there to get UK versions of coloring books and reading books. Free shipping and great prices. The UK also (in my opinion) has better looking covers on their reading books. It is a bit too pricey to order from Amazon UK or from other Amazons for me. I do appreciate you listing the link though. Thank you! Have a lovely Sunday. 💖
@ you too! And I understand about the cost - I also hesitate to order from Amazon US. For example, the Prismacolor pencils are so much more expensive in Europe, but with the import taxes added to the price, I don’t dare to order them from the US…
Awesome Video
Thanks!

They recently launched here in Brazil a brushed steel can of the Black Edition or SuperSoft with 120 colors. It costs around 80 dollars or 50 euros. There is also the difference that for the Brazilian market, these pencils are round, each color has a number and the "EcoLápis" brand which is a legal requirement here.
@@debonidaniel what does EcoLapis stand for?
@@colourandthecity The "Ecolápis" is a differentiation of the brand to warn that these pencils were made with maximum sustainable management on eucalyptus and pine wood production farms and own factories in the States of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. Furthermore, the pencils are produced with a quantity of lead, pigments and dyes that are much smaller than conventional ones, which gives them certification from the FSC, which is an international sustainability fund. Not to mention that the They make the paints and dyes with food coloring to avoid any risk of contamination of the soil and also of those who are using it.
@ oh, so all great news.
The Black Edition is very popular here in Brazil where they are manufactured and are accessible to all segments of the population and sold in all possible places. Believe me they have picks that vary from 4 to 120 colors and even have a special edition made of raw wood with 36 colors.I would also like to say that Prismacolor is not sold here because of our legislation that prohibits the import of writing and painting articles that are not from companies that have factories/headquarters here.
@@debonidaniel oh wow, that’s very interesting to know!
@@colourandthecity Brazil is Faber-Castell's main market outside of Germany and despite being a non-Brazilian company, it is part of our cultural identity because of the more than 120 years of its presence here. Because of this, there is a huge of products that only exist here and were developed here, such as TK rubber, which has a layer so it doesn't get dirty and doesn't tear in any way, not to mention that approximately 95% of what is manufactured here stays here.
@@debonidaniel oh wooow I had no idea, thanks for sharing!
Awesome 👍
