A good description of what can be a very complicated facet of colouring. Some tutors can make the colour wheel seem almost a mathematical exercise, which a “numeral phobic” like me will avoid!! Colour means a lot to me in daily life, often dressing in a colour to suit my mood and surrounding myself with colours I really like. If I wear the wrong colour it will set me on edge all day. The pleasure of colouring books is to be able to create whatever mood I want to with complete freedom of expression. I probably knew the tips and ideas you made in this video but you have consolidated that knowledge for me. The colour wheel can be your best friend once you take control of it and make it yours. I think my colouring is about to improve. Your blending from one colour to another across the wheel is something I hadn’t really thought of. I shall keep your video and a colour wheel close from now on to remind me what can be achieved. Thank you Claire. By the way, you always make sense!
Thank you for this very informative video. The more I learn about colours the more it excites me. This and the preceeding video have really helped me to understand the mystery of the colour wheel. 💜💙💜💙
super job claire being a newbie to adult coloring, your ideals are some what easy to understand but a little hard to actually demonstrate but i will continue to try your ideals
Thank you so so much, Claire, for this fantastic tutorial!! Choosing a combination of colours is really a difficult subject for me. This tutorial is going to be very helpful and gives me more self-confidence. Colour greetings from the Netherlands 🙋🏼♀️
I'm a 70 yr female who never ever was taught "about colours". Thank you for both videos, how to read "colour wheel" and "choose Colours" to pop. Now how do I purchase or create a "colour swatch" on shown in your resources. I just started to weave and am following one teacher online But would like to take items I have, or see in stores or magazines etc and create my own...colours is my biggest learning curve right now. Again thank you Claire.
Thank you so much Claire! I struggle with leaving white space. I’ll have to keep practicing. And I have to say, you always worry if what you are saying makes sense. It always makes sense to me. 😊Thanks so much!
Thank you very much for this amazing tutorial Claire. I've only just started using coloured pencils and alcohol markers in my crafting and know that this tutorial will help me enormously 💕
This video was Excellent Thank you. I understand the colour wheel, I'm actually really comfortable with it but when I go to colour a page I'm stuck and just stare at the page. You are the first person to explain the actual questions to ask before you start, Warm or Cold? Moody or Bright? How does the picture feel to you? What does the illustration say to you? It is these simple questions that all other teachers (and I've watched and read a lot) have completely missed, because they've been doing it for so long it's just a natural part of the process. I can tell you, as a beginner colourer this is something that beginners need to hear. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I'm so, so glad it helped you, that's exactly why I made the video. It was difficult to put the process into words because it does come naturally as you say x
Great explanation, thanks Claire, I really struggle with choosing colours for a page and also when I've chosen a colour for an object, choosing the right pencils to put together.
Thanks for this video! It's hard to explain things that many artists/colorists simply intuit but I think you've done a great job. While much of the color choices I make come naturally, this video makes me want to be more intentional with my coloring and utilize the color wheel.
This is super helpful! Something I make use of quite often when choosing colors are the Prisma/Black Widow color combination charts you have on your blog. If I'm unsure what colors I want, I'll pull out those charts and look to see which color combos I think suits the page. The added bonus is that the pencil names are already listed. So an added "thank you" for making those charts!
Thank you very much for your wonderful video! It’s never too much revision of basics. I’d love to see a video where you explain different types of colour wheel combos (triads and complementary, all that) and choose colours for some particular pictures as the examples. To me it’s always been a problem - how to apply this theory to a picture.
Thank you so much this will now hopefully help break up my colour block now when colouring and I have also got a colour wheel to hand now just need to practise before I hit the colouring books.
Great video Claire! I have watched many videos on color theory and yours was, by far, the best. You were able to get across the feeling of color as well as the “science”. Now I can look at a page and decide how I want it to feel, where before I was stopped by “what does the book say”? I feel like I really understand now. Thanks!
Thank you so much. New subscriber. I've watched many others try to explain chosing colors and couldn't grasp it until now. I really appreciate this video.
This is such a great video Claire, you are an Amazing colorist and love all of your work, these fantastic advices you gave are very helpfull and you explain so well that's make the coloring much more easier after seen this video, all of the hard work you do to help us how to achieved amazing result is highly appreciated it Claire, Thank You so much Claire, this is the way i choose my colors and it's always worked very well and i achieved fantastic result but insthead of using only 3 colored pencils i like to use 5 personnal preference but same exact way to choose my colors with this colors well, i really enjoyed to watch and learn from you some great tips!
Great video and now I think I will be able to use the color wheel to help choose my color palette! Thanks for sharing this with us, Claire. By the way. Your work is amazing! ❤️
Thank you for the tutorial! Very clarifying and easy to understand. The examples you showed us are so beautiful. I'm saving this video for later use, as I find it difficult to decide which colours to use :-)
Brilliant, thank you Claire. I am a beginner and I got 12-16 Caran d Ache Luminace. Also a fantastc your video about the Luminance. I am so curious to know if I can color a simple, beginner artwork with my Luminance ?
Wonderful demonstration! It may be a trick of the camera or just the reflection of the colors, but in the last flower, the white doesn't even look white. I'm comparing it to the paper. It looks like a golden yellow. Perhaps the result of blending the colors next to it into the white. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial Claire! I am going to try it. Is this how you created your intro? I would love to add a little animated sparkle to my intro on my channel. Just love how you did that. 💗💗💗
Great video! Makes sense. Can you tell me what medium you use for the blue background of the Hannah Karlson picture. Was it a marker or pencil? Thank you!
Hi! I love the Arty app you recommended - thank you so much again for that. With the Color.Co, there seem to be a few different types of them - generate color schemes, hair colours, palettes etc - which app should I download for this? Hope you're doing well and staying well. Hi from Australia 👋
Hi Claire, thanks so much for taking your time to answer my questions. I was just wondering why don’t people use oil pastels in coloring books? I feel like it’s an easy way to make a background and they blend easily. Is there a reason behind it or is it just preference?
Hey there:) I think it is mostly preference but also the fact that it is a bit tricky. Some, like Cindy Cink both here on yt and on instagram, use them a lot with stunning results, but I am sure I am not the only one who ended up messing it up. Using too much solvent in double sided coloring books is a risk, having he finished page smear onto the oposite page is another, and the medium is bit messy per default. But if you ind they work for you, that's great! They really are vibrant and look beautiful when used properly, but I just get a muddy, oily mess that transfers all over the place x)
This was very informative and I do find it useful! Yes it made sense :) my question: do you normally have all your Colors figured out (not pencils but just the general colors) before you start? Or does it happen that you start on the main focus and figure out the background after?
Hi Claire !! I love this video and how simple you make it and even if you don’t have a script for it this makes it more entertaining and fun !! 😉💖😆 May I ask, do you have this colour wheel available somewhere to download?? Thanks again for this video 💖
Hello Claire....I am new to your channel and very much enjoy watching it. This video was amazingly helpful and I appreciate that you gave examples of what you mean along the way. I’ve noticed that as I’m look through image that other people have done, they really tend to stay with the least amount of colors possible, which is your advise as well. My question to you then, is what do you do when the picture you’re coloring is very busy and there are a lot of different flowers and leaves, and this and that, etc? Does that make sense? I try very hard to follow this rule and then I get frustrated because I think “okay, I’ve used this color for everything now” and I give up because I think it will look silly. I love coloring and most importantly I love that its calming for me, as I have a very stressful career. But I am at the point where it’s becoming more and I want to do more with it. I just don’t know where to start and I have a lot of questions lol. Do you have a blog by chance? Thank you for taking the time to read/answer my question. It is very appreciated! 🙂
I know exactly what you mean and I struggle with it too. I would just be strong and stick to only the colours you have chosen, no matter if you've used it lots or not! Try to limit yourself to no more than 3 colours because you should always have something different to put next to each one if that makes sense. However you can colour a who page using only one pencil and different pressures, so it really doesn't matter how little colours you have x
Colour with Claire...thank you for the reply. I should have listened to your advise at the beginning of the video and watched the other one too. There was great advise in that video as well. Thank you! I look forward to more of your work. Also, you asked about video ideas, and I am wondering what you do for pictures that you want to color more than once, how you go about coping them, do you copy them, etc. I buy all there gorgeous coloring books and sometime I would like to practice on one before I give it a final go, and also I would like to color them with other color schemes as well. What do you do in the instance? Tracing them can be time consuming and I’m just out of ideas. Any videos and thoughts on that topic would be much appreciated. Also, types of paper to use if you do copy them. Thank you again for your time! Love the channel!!!
What about how to choose colors for a real busy page? Meaning lots of different items like in a Forest Girl coloring book for example. I understand a limited palette, but if there are a lot of items that need to be their own color, how do you smooch that into a page that “works”? Thank you
I know what you mean, I struggle with that too. I just colour things like leaves in whatever colours I have in the limited palette, doesn’t need to be realistic
Your content is super-helpful, as usual. My problem is this. Sometimes I have trouble telling whether the given colour is leaning cool or warm, and also the named colours, like Process Green or Azalea. I've been looking for a book or some resource that would explain the composition of these colours but no joy so far. Any advice on making progress on this?
Colors themselves (hues.. blue, red, etc) are not only warm or cool. There are warm and cool variations of all of them. The difference is how close they are to the next primary on the color wheel. So for example if a green is closer to yellow it's warm, if it's closer to blue it's cool. Two ways to help determine this are to use a neutral grey swatch to compare it to, or a neutral swatch of the two primaries on either side. You will see quickly if it goes with the primary (is analogous) or contrasts with it (is complementary).. if it goes with it it's likely the temperature for that side and the opposite if it doesn't. So if your green goes along with a neutral yellow it's probably warm, a cool green will "clash" but go well with a neutral blue. Ignore color names, they mean nothing other than a way to identify it from the others.
I guess I haven't been on your channel in a bit bc I've gone away from the coloring books and I've been focused on TRYING to do realistic drawings and paintings, but apparently I'm the only one not visiting you, 34-f'n-thousand subscribers! There used to be 2 Claire's in the coloring world, it looks like one has stepped up her game and now there's only one that matters😝
It would be so nice to have a colour wheel made with prismas and polychromos. Rather than having abstract red, blue etc, it would have the name of the relevant pencil, and then we’d have a colour wheel shaped ‘map’ of the pencils we actually have.
Some have attempted it with mixed results. It's a very complicated wheel. For example with Prisma you have 150 individual colors somewhere on that wheel. There will be many "rings" of placement as you go from white, to tints, to pure hues, to shades.. and then the complementary mixes that get closer and closer to the center... that is where all your desaturated colors and neutrals live. Finally ending with black in the center. There is a website called "handprint" that has a color wheel like this for watercolor.. however it's much simpler since as a fluid medium they deal only in the pure pigments which are mixed either on a palette or on the paper... pencils are a dry medium and therefore have many more colors premixed in the pencil itself.
Very weird it started to work maybe 15 minutes after u posted this on my end! Thank u this is great Information I’ve always had trouble picking colors on my own! Thanks for all u do!!
I’m in a huge bind. My birthday is next Sunday and I’m treating myself to a set of color pencils. Can you please suggest the best one available? I’m currently researching the Caran D’ Ache Pablo set and the Faber-Castell Polychromos. Which would you suggest? Please any info I’d greatly appreciate. Thank you 😊

Very helpful Claire. I should probably start using the colour wheel process
Great video. I really really should pay attention to the colour wheel. But, then again, I love throwing every colour of the rainbow at it 🌈 🤣
Thank you. As a beginner it was easy to understand and you didn’t complicate it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So informative and helpful. Thank you Claire
Excellent video! Thank you!
Wow..this really helps me in my coloring, Claire. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you very much Claire, this was the most desired video tutorial for me and I am happy you chose this topic 😊🎉
Amazing video, really informative. I like the idea of travelling around the colour wheel between colours
Great video! I love the tips with leaving white!
Thank you for the tutorial! Very clarifying and easy to understand. The examples you showed us are so beautiful. I'm saving this video for later use, as I find it difficult to decide which colours to use :-)
This is gonna be so helpful to me when I finally get some time to color again! Thank you :)

How would you go about picking colours for trees and desert landscapes?
Could you do a tutorial on how you colored the copper on the wind up doll using prismas?
Thanks for that xx
Thank you so much for this tutorial Claire! I am going to try it. Is this how you created your intro? I would love to add a little animated sparkle to my intro on my channel. Just love how you did that. 💗💗💗
This is an awesome video!

Hi, I'm not sure to be honest as I've never used them. Aren't they quite a heavy medium? The oil might bleed through the paper?
This was very informative and I do find it useful! Yes it made sense :) my question: do you normally have all your Colors figured out (not pencils but just the general colors) before you start? Or does it happen that you start on the main focus and figure out the background after?

I know....I know. Here in Boston that's what we call being sarcastic! You're both very good at what you do and you both spell color wrong😉
Great video! Where can we can get this color wheel you are using?
Google images, just search colour wheel x
Like to see how to do background. Dark colors
It would be so nice to have a colour wheel made with prismas and polychromos. Rather than having abstract red, blue etc, it would have the name of the relevant pencil, and then we’d have a colour wheel shaped ‘map’ of the pencils we actually have.
I think a few people have done this xx

100th comment... Btw ur video is helpful♥️
For some reason this doesn’t play and the error message says no stream tap to retry. :(
For me it doesn't...
Very odd... Try again later?

Very helpful !! Thank you so much.
I’m in a huge bind. My birthday is next Sunday and I’m treating myself to a set of color pencils. Can you please suggest the best one available? I’m currently researching the Caran D’ Ache Pablo set and the Faber-Castell Polychromos. Which would you suggest? Please any info I’d greatly appreciate. Thank you 😊
Which kind of Pencils do you work best with, soft, vibrant leads or harder for building layers?
Colour with Claire I love vibrant leads
