Excellent video! Thank you.
Most welcome!
I have been coloring in enchanted forest for a while now. Between work and school I don’t have much time but it is one of my favorite books to color in.
I believe that you have created a wonderful channel and your art has blossomed into a true artist’s journey! I have seen quite a few artist fizzle out because they are trying to create outside of themselves. I believe that you are giving your heart and soul to this endeavor and it just shines through! You are successful because you care. I am looking forward to watching your flip through video and I am sure that the long version will out preform all other versions! Lovely picture and inspirational color work! Please take care and be safe over there!
I appreciate that you notice these things. My mantra is 'be real, work hard, and those that want to will come'....
Good for you! I haven't even started yet copy! Beautiful work!
Thank you! 😊
Hi Gem , Although I live in the suburbs now I was born and raised on a very busy city street in a multi cultural section of Boston Massachusetts. I have never seen a cow ,chicken , sheep , goats no farm animals in my life ! The only animals would be police horses or St Patrick’s Day Parade in Boston the Budweiser Clydesdale horses whom I guess originally from Scotland I just learned. Someday I would love to see a video of your farm and garden ! Your stories fascinate me because polar opposite of where I grew up and still live . I have seen lots of Atlantic Ocean sea life . I live on the coast and even been on whale watches and giant pilot whales show off for people and swim under boats ! Very thrilling once you realize they are characters full of personality and won’t hit the boat ! I have seen sharks , lobsters of course and harbor seals and manatee . Sea cows ! I love the way you talk about your cows and their names . No pressure I hope I am not being intrusive! Just curious lol
Can not wait to see your finished book! :D
Love it, I just got Ivy and the inky butterfly for my daughter Ivy, and I'm so used to doing surrealism and face and such that this is a perfect refresher on just simple shading I actually needed lol
I am going to hang out and color this page with you. A cup of coffee and here we go. I live on a farm and grew up on a farm so it is great to hear you talk about the cows. I also have llamas. I currently gave away all but two males so at least they won't reproduce like rabbits!! My family still has a family ranch in Nebraska.
Aw, you are so lucky!
Thank you! Just for being you ! This technique you have...its yours isn't it ? I've seen no one else has it. You make the tiniest little circular motions. Its brilliant ! 🍂🍃🍁🌿🤩🌿🍁🍃🍂
I'm not sure if it's unique to me? The circular motions are called 'scumbling' so I suppose not?
I think we need a video of you demolishing the kitchen island.
😁
Yes Yes !
ive seen some others use the 8pm is a good time to reach most areas
Oh and you should go over that chalky watercolor with your colored pencils it should help some of that odd looking bits
I so enjoy listening to you! Your voice has a very soothing effect on this United States NC southern girl!!! I too am going back to my older coloring books and this one definitely needs my attention. Thank you for inspiring me to start this page. I am so impressed that you have now done practically the entire book!! I look forward to seeing the video flip through of it. I, too, have had this book since the beginning of my coloring journey 5 years ago. You truly inspire with your videos and I never tire of hearing about your extended family members.
Thank you! I never intended for this book to be a mission, but I've enjoyed it. It was actually gifted to my grandmother and she found the colouring hard on her arthritic hands, so she gave it to me. She thought it would be wonderful to see it finished, so I'm going to give it to her when I'm done. She's old (97, sharp as a tack and a wicked sense of humour) and we joke that she'll have passed on by the time I'm finished... I've told her she's got to hang on until Christmas 😁
Such fun to see you coloring. Congratulations on getting so close to finishing your book. I finished Ivy and the Inky Butterfly a while ago and haven't touched another one since ( I have all her books) To finish a book takes commitment plus! I enjoy your sense of humor so much. Makes my day! Keep up the great videos! Cheers from Montana!
I'd love to finish Ivy/Inky - congratulations, that's quite an undertaking! I said if I ever had children I'd make it my mission...
@@TheColourCave I plan on giving Ivy to my granddaughter...smile*
Weeeee live streams with Gem!!!!! JD or wine??? 😎😂
Thank you for the background tip. I just finished a Molly Harrison for Autumn and my background needed something, now I know what it is. Off to pull her out of my portfolio. 🍷💞🍁
Yay! Glad I could help.
Re: livestream, I think sober might be an idea to start with! 😝
@@TheColourCave 😝 I meant for me 😆😂😎
🤣😂🤣😂
I have a loving relationship with Chartreuse as well! Lovely video!! 💚
Occasional live stream sounds great. Sorry you had IT nightmares (as an IT Support person it’s always sad when people lose work and we can’t get it back).
IT nightmares are more or less my life. I love my IT guys (and gal) though, they're a great bunch.
This is my fave kind of video from you Gem, just colouring and chatting. However if you had not made such a variety of videos your channel would not have grown so much. I cannot wait until you start to livestream. I used to join in and watch Emily Illustrator but she streams at 3am UK time which is not convenient so not watched in a while. I will def be watching when you start however long that might be. (Unless I am at work) ❤️
I know you are a fan of Emily, maybe I will be able to fill that streaming void for you at a more appropriate time! Fingers crossed....
Lewis capaldi could sing to me forever lol
What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Coffee, scanning my artwork, and a Sunday Colour & Chat. Live streams sound like a great idea! Have a wonderful day.
I think I am about a far time zone wise as you can get. I am -8 (Pacific), but pick a time for the first one and see how well it works and then adjust for the next one. Barbara and BBarb (baby Barbara), sound adorable. I hope you can befriend them. Or at least get Agnes close to a couple of the new cows. It still seems strange to me that the cows come with the farm! Oh and for the record, most of your regular viewers don't care if you have makeup on. We like our GemGem just the way you are!
Cows don't always come with the farm, but the people selling were retiring so selling everything - normally a potential buyer will look round and negotiate what they want in with the land (machinery, grain, straw and livestock etc) and then the rest goes to a farm sale or auction. The cows here were breeds we are used to working with, and in good shape so it made sense to keep them (less hassle) and less cost for the seller. Additionally, cattle get stressed during transport so it's in everyone's interests to stay put where possible.
And thank you, I don't feel any pressure really to 'gussy up' for videos, but sometimes it makes me feel better if I'm a bit worse for wear! (Or covered in cow poop!)
I’d love a livestream. I like these videos, too...coloring and chatting. I love your stories, especially about the cows! 🐮 🐄
Aw Gem! Couple of things - your wee accent when saying grass green, it has really given me joy this afternoon! What you said about colouring patterns - oh my yes! I’ve started to gravitate more towards colouring books that the illustration actually looks like a picture of something, my last colouring book before the Kerby one was a Harry Potter one so they looked like full illustrations when finished! Also - I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who names everything! My car is called Gracie & has a really lovely story which I’ll not bore you with! It’s been nice to have you as company today, thanks for making these videos, I’m excited for if you start to stream but I can imagine it would be a challenge to keep following along with the chat and colour at the same time??
My husband loves it when I say 'burgundy' 😂 It's very satisfying seeing a finished colouring page when it's a scene I think. I'll be okay with the chat when I'm colouring, not so sure how I'll go when painting!!
@@TheColourCave is Mr Gem a Scott too? I’ve been making time lapse videos over on insta of me painting but then tried to film a chat & paint last week to put on here and oh my that was a challenge! I think I gave up & deleted the footage 😂😂 going to have another go tho..
No he’s not, he’s English , hence him enjoying silly things like that 😊
The talking and arting comes with time and practice, I’m okay colouring and sketching, but when it’s mediums I’m less proficient in there’s a lot of editing out big pauses 😂
@@TheColourCave oh that’s a geg - when I first moved to England people had a real hard time understanding me even tho I’d lived in Oz & had adapted my accent / phrases already! I still have moments like if I go to McDonald’s drive thru they still struggle!
Watching your videos, you wouldn’t know there’s been lots of editing! It’s something I want to try again because it looks like fun.
Ps - for the cave stash, have you ever used gouache? That might make a fun video if you’ve not.

Love the picture you colored thanks for the video
Totally agree re people saying hello all the way through streams! Would love a UA-cam Live or a Twitch stream tea and chat 😃
Ohhh gem I would love to see you do live streams it would be so fun and would love to see you on twitch I use hope you are well and staying safe x
I just got this book recently. I can see that it could quite possibly take 5 yrs. to finish it! That purple background really did make the leaves pop.😍
If you do a livestream I’ll try to watch if I can. It’s difficult with 2 young puppies 🐶 it’s like having two babies 👶🏼 in the house sometimes. I’m always watching them unless they are in their playpen or crates for naps . Or we outside taking walks if the weather is presentable (even if it’s not we still need to go out, it just a much quicker outing....lol.
If I’m in the house and I’m available I will be right there. If not, I’ll watch it after the fact. That’s exciting you’re going to be getting faster internet! Woo-hoo!!!! Take care of yourself sweetie.
wow, that's already looking really beautiful! :)
I was sitting at my desk, trying to figure out how to fix my broken Bayek figurine, but... I have no clue what to do with him :( he has broken off his base...
superglue?
@@TheColourCave I would try that, but thw figurine is quite heavy and leaning over the base, so even hot glue didn't work... I'll do some more research on it. Maybe I can fix it with UV resin.. or something
Thanks for all the great tips again! You must be so chuffed to be almost finished the whole book! I've just started Secret Garden, and yes....so many leaves! :) Do you always do your backgrounds last? For some reason, I thought backgrounds were laid down first. Does it make a difference? Thanks. xx
It depends on a lot of factors, and I’d say there’s no right or wrong way. There’s no particular reason for them to be done first. I often like to see how the main part of the picture comes out before deciding on what to do with a background.
@@TheColourCave That makes sense, thanks for that. :)
J'adore vos vidéos mais c'est très dommage qu'on ne puisse pas avoir les sous-titres pour pouvoir vous traduire
Désolé. Ce serait bien pour toi. Elle a de belles histoires. ❣
J'aurais aimé avoir le temps de créer des sous-titres,
mon français n est pas bon non plus!
Sign me up for live events. I have started to find favorites in the coloring community, on YT that is and I have been showing up fairly regularly for weekly live events. LOL btw I've thought about sharing with you, it strikes me and makes me look up at the screen when you keep saying "If you..." because it sounds to me like you keep saying "F. U." !! I've been binging on videos as I swatch my new pencil set -- still doing Artezas.
If you like charlie you should try Jamie Dupuis. He plays a harp guitar. Also Canadian. No sing just instrumental .
No, I agree, don't greet every person or try to chit-chat -- that also annoys me. The only thing I can think of, though you've probably thought of it already, it seems the hostess has trouble keeping up with the chat or constantly is distracted from the task at hand by what's going on in chat. Of course, that's for the couple of live streams I attend which have massive numbers of followers, so the chat goes too fast for me to read even.
I'm not a fan of live streams. I used to like watching colour and chat with Sammie then she started doing these boring live streams and the I think she did it because she loves the sound of her own voice and because dede Willingham did them. Sammies voices isn't make for live streams, her other videos were excellent but she just copied dede. She's even copied dedes laugh, it's weird. So Jem you have a lovely voice(I'm Scottish too) but I wouldn't want you to do livestreams all the time like Sammie has. Dede has the right personally for livestreaming, all Sammie talks about is that weird looking dog and all the stuff she gets sent for free....eh no talk about art and your day
