So glad to hear that I am not the only one who starts a picture and doesn't have every color decided, sorted and ready to go!! I find it fun to "just wing it" sometimes and see where inspiration takes me. Of course I am purely a beginner, so it's all fun! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I Love to colour in adult colouring books because of how much detail they have in them in each picture which makes you to get your colouring pencils and start colouring in your colouring book. It is like you are addicted to it. Happy Colouring!
Peta, I just love to watch you color, such an inspiration. I'm glad you said on one of your tutorials that time just passes when your having fun, then all of a sudden you realize you haven't eaten all day, hahaha.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into passing on your artistic talents to the masses. I appreciate that you do the videos in real time, it makes it a lot easier to follow and take in it would be great if you could do more of them, I am sure I would not be the only one that would be watching them repeatedly.
I could spend a whole day watching you color and listening to you teach. It's very relaxing and I love your color choices and techniques. Thank you for taking your time to teach and inspire us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. The speed colouring ones are interesting but for the novice colourist the slow version teaches so much more, and I really appreciated your comments. Please do more like this!
You remind me so much of watching Bob Ross when I was a child; so calming, so mellow, so soothing. I really appreciate how you've presented everything in a way that simplifies everything for me, I come and watch one your videos when I'm feeling overwhelmed and indecisive.
I just want to say that I am a huge fan of your videos. I color as a form of art therapy due to PTSD and sometimes I get too anxious to color. But then I watch your videos and the way you explain things somehow calms me down enough for me to enjoy it! Please continue to make videos, I love the tutorials!
i love your videos! please do one on how to know where lights and shadows should be, im new to colouring and i find your videos very inspiring! oh! and please more on Inktense! its beautiful how you use them!! Thank you!
Never thought id be doing this :). I'm hooked, 47 year old man coloring. Love these tutorials , should do a part 2 and 3 and so on for this picture. I've learnt a lot of things because of you. I find its starting to be a great relaxing hobby for my spare time. I've bought pencils blending pencil sharpeners books the lot ) , keep up the good work :)
Isn't it brilliant! I'm 30 and I love it too! I've actually been surprised by how relaxing it can be and how much I've taken to it. Keep up the colouring in! We all need a hobby for our spare time and this is a really good one I've found! I find even on days I can't be bothered it isn't too difficult to pick up a colouring book. I love my colouring books! I've collected ten beautiful books so far and have lots of coloured pens and pencils it's great :-D
I am going on 56 next month. I just started this adult coloring around Christmas last year, and I'm still learning. I have spent so much money on pencils and watercolor pencils, and most of the tutorials I come across on you tube are great, but this is one of the very best. I especially love this one and I loved the one where she uses the inktense pencils. I have definitely become ocd. I hate it when a person does a video and says I don't want to bore you by coloring this in so they turn the camera off and come back after they have colored some of the picture. Also the speed of this video is great, I would agree with you Steve, I would love to see a part 2 and 3 of this picture being done. Thank you so much Peta for doin such wonderful and informative videos. Now if someone knows of a really good watercolor painting tutorial please let me know. Thanks have a great day everyone!
30, 47, 56? Pffftt. You're all mere children. I will be 70 in 4 months and I am hopelessly hooked on adult coloring books. Is there a web site that is a compilation of pages done by different people? I would love to see what others have done.
my Gramma was 85 when she passed last year....and I discovered adult coloring books in her bedroom as I was sorting her stuff...she has just gotten into coloring about 3 months before she passed away..
Thank you so much for this. I absolutely love your videos & I must say I prefer this type of video compared with the speed colouring, I find I learn more. I splurged on polychromos pencils & will never look back, they are fab in all of the Johanna basford books. Thank you again & I look forward to more videos like this x
I enjoyed the video very much. I colored along with you and I'm so happy with how my page looks. My only regret is the video didn't cover the entire 2 page spread. You are very talented and a great teacher. Thank you for this, and any time you want to finish the whole 2 pages, I'll be coloring right along with you.
Thank you so much for this colouring tutorial. I too am hooked, since my daughter bought me the Tropical Wonderland book for Christmas. One of the best things is that I can listen to wonderful Radio 4 whilst doing this. And it's also great to colour in whilst somebody tedious is on the telephone!
PETA, thank you so much for the time and effort spent on this wonderful video. I just recently heard of adult coloring as a means to cope with the pain I suffer from MS. I am not artistic at all, so the tips you shared have been immensely helpful. I would love to see more videos done in real time.
I am so impressed, inspired and a bit intimidated! I love your work. Watching the absolute synchronicity is hypnotic. A true artist!! So glad I happened upon your site.
Your work is incredible. I cant tell you how many times I have gone through your videos - I enjoy them so much. Sometimes I just play and replay them because it makes me so happy to see your work. Thank you so much for sharing your art! It has really helped me in learning as well as in my healing.
Sorry Peta - You really deserve a Love Thumb ~ not a Like Thumb. You are sharing priceless information in your tutorials. You are such an encouragement! Thanks so much!
New to your channel, but old to coloring books. I do this since i was a child, you are helping me so much, and i've noticed my techique has improved following you, so...thank you so much Peta😊😊♡
For the sharpener by the way, I have one from Bruynzeel, a Dutch brand which has one for ordinary pencils and one hole for coloring pencils. That one is a little bit larger, your point goes in further and it takes as little as possible of your pencils. It's, to me, the best sharpener I've ever seen.
Yes Peta, i really like when you colouring in real time because you are an Amazing Artist,Fantastic Teacher you explain very well & gave very handy tips & techniques so Please do more Peta you are my inspiration & teacher has well. Thank you for this Fabulous tutorial!
Just received my pencils and started with Lost Ocean. I am a complete novice who's new to drawing, coloring and the like but your videos are wonderful and I'll be watching a whole bunch. Lovely coloring.
Thanks for this tutorial. It really helps to see the whole process. I'm really learning a lot. It will definitely help with the coloring shading and blending. So far my coloring has looked one dimensional.
I really appreciated the in-depth colouring in this video, and picked up quite a few tips from watching it in 'real time'. I would never have thought to edge my leaves with a white mixture, but will definitely try it out. Your artwork is stunning and I love forward to more, tfs x
+Elizabeth Naisbitt Hi Elizabeth... thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying my work. just so you know... the white pencil is actually an off white called 'ivory' from the Polychromos range. It's one of my favourite colours. :)
i love your explanations, I have such a hard time putting colors together, I own many of these books but am fairly intimidated too start in them, They are such beautiful pictures I hate the idea of making a mess!
Great video, thanks for sharing your mental process. I found this video extremely helpful. I am one that plans out my colors as well, so it is great to hear a different perspective.
This was a wonderful video! I hope you continue to make videos like this one...answering questions and showing your real-time work. I always learn so much from your explanations and the sharing of your techniques!
Thanks Peta. It's really helpful to watch how you get a more realistic look by your shading and blending. I feel a bit lazy using your suggestions, but hey, it's very satisfying and relaxing. I WILL start to use my own colour combinations soon, promise! 😏
Thoroughly enjoyed your work, I have recently bought the inktense pencils on your recommendation and am really enjoying them. Your channel is a joy to watch and has taught me a bunch about colour choices and blending. Thank you.
You are amazing! I love your videos. I'm new at the adult coloring books & have always enjoyed coloring but now I'm trying to learn how to add more depth by learning new techniques. Thank you for sharing!
I have just begun coloring for relaxation. Not anywhere near as good as yours looks. I would look at many of these to learn to color better. Thanks for sharing. All the best, Sean
Thank you for taking the time to do this video, I am new to coloring, and seeing you do it in real time really helps me a lot! And your voice is so soothing, it makes listening fun, I hope you do more of these soon!!
I have to tell you that I love the coloring in actual time. I love all your comments. It's like sitting with a friend, learning, and relaxing. Thank you.
Oh my, I checked out the finished page on your blog and it is simply stunning! I just subbed as I don’t want to lose track of your videos. I am brand new to adult coloring and have pulled out my set of Berol Prismacolors that I bought in the mid 90s for a colored pencil class I took beck then and hadn’t touched since. Now I’m eyeing a set of Polychromos... Thank you for a wonderful video, can’t wait to see more!
Love the little fox. It's sometimes fun to buy cheap children's colouring books and add details to them, turning the images into something more like grown up colouring pages.
This was so wonderful. Your work is stunning and I am so grateful that you are choosing to share your talent and wonderful instruction. Please continue, I have learned so much and look forward to more.
Very helpful to watch you work slowly. Also extremely helpful listening to your thought process. I watch your videos over and over again. I will watch, and then go color for a while and then watch again and go color again. Also I enjoy seeing your finished pieces as your color choices are more brave than my conservative thinking. I used the colors from the trees in your first 2 page Enchanted Forest where you used grays, mauve and tans and browns for my first 2 page spread in the Secret Garden and love the result. Also just got The 2nd book by Millie Marotta Tropical World and like it even more than her Animal Kingdom, if you can believe that!
I love your videos I'm new to coloring so I've just been doing the fill in the one section with one color technique also the books I've been working in don't have the greatest paper but I'm hoping to do more blending and these videos are quite helpful
I'm a new subbie. I loved this real time video. I'd rather watch detailed instruction than the speed coloring. I like you speaking, telling brands and colors, and going slow enough to watch your technique. I'm a newbie trying to learn blending. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this video! Love the pace as you can absorb and understand technique better! I am new to coloring with pencils! Best tutorial I have seen! More please!!!
I've only just started colouring, I've found your tutorials so informative and enjoyable, you've really made it so easy for me to understand. Thank you so much x
This is great! Thank you! I've definitely learnt a new technique and I paid close attentions to the colours you picked. Would definitely like to see more. I'm also curious on how you would go about doing a background on a picture like the one featured, or maybe a few tips on how you decide what background to do depending on the picture.
I absolutely adore your videos! You have given me an entirely new style of coloring! I have to buy all three Johanna Basford books and the Polychromos pencils just to play along. I've been a diehard Prismacolor artist but honestly I'm so tired of the breakage and these colored pencils are truly a dream!! I have found another set call Caran D'ashe Luminance pencil that have a slightly chalky finish that also adore and I cannot wait to add them to my new color stash! Your coring style is just beautiful and your ability to draw is amazing! You need to create your own clothing books! I would definitely buy them! I would love to see more real time videos as well as the speed ones. I would also love to see you reference book (you may have already shown it and I'm a dufus and haven't found it yet), but I think those are so very helpful! I just love your work so please keep up your videos!!
love your work, i am a perfectionate too. I'm glad I found you on Utube i do that to for get to eat I could color 24 hours especially with a book with lots of woodland and animals
This is beautiful. Thanks for the video. I received some colorama coloring books for my birthday and I've been having so much fun with them.I see I still have lots to learn. 😁
Love this, am enjoying it very much. I am currently working on the first 2 pages spread from Secret Garden and it's my 3rd day on it and haven't even gotten the top leaves and flowers done, the tree in the middle is done, started with that one. So yeah, it takes a long time to do these. As for colors? With these books I let my imagination go wild and color whatever I like and think fits together, pink and purple leaves, brown leaves, blue tree, etc. Haven't decided on the background yet, but I like your idea of drawing in some bushes behind very much, i was allready thinking of green at the bottom op to yellow, orange and red for the sky, but I think I'll put in some bushes or something too.
+Astrid S I think adding some simple back ground like bushes and mountains helps to give the picture a three dimensional feel. Also it's a great way to fill up all that blank space. :)
Very much enjoyed this - worked on my own piece while listening to your commentary and lovely music. New to colouring and appreciated the helpful tips. Please do more videos like this!
I know this is an old video, but re. 8:45 - one recommendation I have for colour palettes is to use Adobe Color CC alongside a stock photo database (Adobe Stock, Pexels, etc.). Color CC is /amazing/ for pulling together a palette, and allows you to not only upload a photo and get a color swatch from that, but you can choose from premade swatch 'types' (bright, dark, etc.) but also drag and drop on the image to customise your choice. If you see an image that you go "wow, I really like the colours on that", upload to Adobe Color CC, adjust your choices, and you have a quick color palette to use :)
Hi Peta... thank you so much for this. Really help me a lot. I love all your video. Please continue to inspire us!! Always excited to view your video on colouring techniques and book reviews. Awesome!! Looking forward to your next video!! Have a great day.
Really felt I learned a lot watching you work on this piece--I find your explanations and comments as you work very enlightening. I am totally new to pencil work coloring. A bit hesitant about choosing colors for areas--so this is very helpful thank you so much hugs, Julierose
i love this very informative for me my first try at coloring like this an i have been following your coloring an colors the best i can i have crayola pencils but would love to get poloychromos fabre castel to try i think they would be a dream because crayola is very waxy but they blend nicely so far.
So glad to hear that I am not the only one who starts a picture and doesn't have every color decided, sorted and ready to go!! I find it fun to "just wing it" sometimes and see where inspiration takes me. Of course I am purely a beginner, so it's all fun! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Happy little trees here...and here....and here...what a happy little tree...:) PBS on Saturday afternoons..lol
This was a very helpful video! I love the way you don't think each leaf must be a different color. Makes things meld together!
I just want to say that I am a huge fan of your videos. I color as a form of art therapy due to PTSD and sometimes I get too anxious to color. But then I watch your videos and the way you explain things somehow calms me down enough for me to enjoy it! Please continue to make videos, I love the tutorials!

Thank you so much! Since starting with the coloring book craze, I have learned so much more about art.
Wow... I have this book at home and never knew the possibilities, thank you so much.
Nice touch with the additional mountains, hedges, and fox.

Thank you for a wonderful video, can’t wait to see more!
I enjoy watching all of your videos, but this one has to be my absolute favorite! Keep up the awesome work!!
Love the little fox. It's sometimes fun to buy cheap children's colouring books and add details to them, turning the images into something more like grown up colouring pages.

Great video! More of these real-time videos, they are very helpful.

I just love your videos. It's really great to see how you're starting to customise the drawings as well.
This is just marvelous. Please consider doing more of these. Thanks!
I'm a new subbie. I loved this real time video. I'd rather watch detailed instruction than the speed coloring. I like you speaking, telling brands and colors, and going slow enough to watch your technique. I'm a newbie trying to learn blending. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this video! Love the pace as you can absorb and understand technique better! I am new to coloring with pencils! Best tutorial I have seen! More please!!!

I liked your video and learnt that I have to take more time if I want a better result! Patient!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thankyou Peta for another insightful video. :)
This is great! Thank you! I've definitely learnt a new technique and I paid close attentions to the colours you picked. Would definitely like to see more. I'm also curious on how you would go about doing a background on a picture like the one featured, or maybe a few tips on how you decide what background to do depending on the picture.
love your videos very inspiring thanks for showing the colours that you use. very helpful. would love to see more videos like this. thanks so much

Loved this video. As usual I learned so much. Your channel is the only one I've ever subscribed to, so keep them coming lady 👍🏽

+Astrid S I think adding some simple back ground like bushes and mountains helps to give the picture a three dimensional feel. Also it's a great way to fill up all that blank space. :)
hi wow this is beautiful colouring know about blending always wanted to do this going to give that a go thank you so much for the tutorial
Love all the yellows you have in your case !
Very much enjoyed this - worked on my own piece while listening to your commentary and lovely music. New to colouring and appreciated the helpful tips. Please do more videos like this!
Thank you, Judy. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I hope to do more of these casual chat/tutorials.
it is very beautiful video.. i hope you will make another in this way
I often check out the color schemes of the front of magazines. They are masters at tracking the attention consumer.
So love watching your videos, I am new to all this and I have learnt so much.
Thank you for sharing you beautiful coloring. I enjoyed this kind of video much more then the speed coloring videos. I am loving you channel though.
I love your work, I watched your vid where you showed all your books, going to buy my first colouring book tomorrow x
Thank you for sharing, I learn so much from your videos, I look forward to watching more 😊
love your video. Has taught me heaps cant wait too start colouring
Thank you Peta for the great video!
I know this is an old video, but re. 8:45 - one recommendation I have for colour palettes is to use Adobe Color CC alongside a stock photo database (Adobe Stock, Pexels, etc.). Color CC is /amazing/ for pulling together a palette, and allows you to not only upload a photo and get a color swatch from that, but you can choose from premade swatch 'types' (bright, dark, etc.) but also drag and drop on the image to customise your choice. If you see an image that you go "wow, I really like the colours on that", upload to Adobe Color CC, adjust your choices, and you have a quick color palette to use :)
What a fantastic idea. I'm going to give that a try with some of the colour reference photos i take.
That was very informative, thank you very much & please do more like this! I have been stumped in places on this picture & this has really helped!
Hi Peta... thank you so much for this. Really help me a lot. I love all your video. Please continue to inspire us!! Always excited to view your video on colouring techniques and book reviews. Awesome!! Looking forward to your next video!! Have a great day.
Really felt I learned a lot watching you work on this piece--I find your explanations and comments as you work very enlightening. I am totally new to pencil work coloring. A bit hesitant about choosing colors for areas--so this is very helpful thank you so much hugs, Julierose
