I have bad anxiety and have been watching your videos when I feel upset or sick and I can safely say... I've never loved a youtube channel as much as yours. It's extremely relaxing and your coloring techniques BLOW me away. This is the coloring talent I strive to have one day.
You are a remarkably gifted colour ist. Your work has that vintage old world look. I love the distressed ink technique and many others that you use to bring to life the characters on each page. Plus your collection of books is fantastic. Alisa in New Zealand 💞
What a fantastic collection of coloring books! I love your coloring style and am amazed that you’ve only been coloring for a couple of years! You are so talented. I love the way you use distressed inks with your colored pencils. Keep up the great work!
"Me and markers don't get along terribly well." Couldn't have said it better myself 🤣🤣 Thanks so much for taking all the time to share. Excited to see your next one with supplies!
I just got my first cup of coffee and I'm enjoying the beginning of the weekend with this amazing video. It's wonderful to see all these coloring books and the work you've done on them :)
Karen I always am left with my mouth open whenever I watch your finished pictures You are so darn amazing with distress inks but that’s not where your gift ends you’re equally as amazing with pencils. Karen you’re just awesome and I loveee watching what you create. Thank Karen for sharing your talent 💝
I m in shock you are so talented and your eye on picking the colours wow.also you have every book that is on my wish list.I’m not kidding everyone lol. Keep inspiring.beautiful work.thank you for sharing.
You do not know me but I just had to say that I think you are a very talented colorist. Watching you show your gorgeous completed pages, while you explain your choice of medium and or technique, has been wonderful. I cannot wait for your next "show and tell".
Thank you for sharing all of your books and amazing colored pages. Absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed all of the pictures in the "beauty magic" (or vice versa ). After seeing your videos made me really want to get a few distressed inks to play with. It seems like you could get a larger area done more quickly than a lot of other methods. Btw I love crinkly pages. They're the best.Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Wow you’re an amazing colorist! I love the way you colored your pages in the book fantamorphia! You have beautiful collection of books! Thank you for making this video! ❤️
I just found your channel today and watched videos all day! I love your style and ideas so much, very inspiring! Thank you so much for this video too, it's an amazing collection! 😁😊
Thank you so much for sharing all of your books. This was a wonderful video and had helped me so much and choosing a few books. Your art is beautiful. I am excited to be a new subscriber and can’t wait to catch you on Instagram :)
A new subscriber and I think your work is fabulous!!I can just imagine you coloring pages in a children's book. your work is droolworthy. I've always been a card maker with stamps and dies. I love to color but it pales in comparison with your work. Can't wait to buy a coloring book to practice on, you have inspired me.
Oh wow you got such a nice collection of coloring books, i was trying to find a good coloring book too but all i could find is kids coloring books.. But i really wanted a challenging ones
Thank you sooooo much For sharing how you do everything absolutely stunning Those gold paints I’ve gotta find them,,, Sending hugs from California 💗😻🐾🐾
The the midnight books I be got a collection of the books I love them I got them because of you showing them xx not coloured in them yet like you I just look at them xx will start soon am a gardener and florist is there right up my street xx 😘 thankyou for showing all your books xx 😘
Somehow I went from German coloring books to listening to Swedish music. For some reason My Summer Walk reminded me of Molly Sandén's Fånga En Sommar, and I had to stop and listen to it. I then came back to check out the rest of your collection. Another comment says you're the Bob Ross of adult coloring. I'll have to check out more of your channel. I love Bob Ross. Although I've bought supplies, I've never gotten started attempting to paint. I might have to give adult coloring a try. A coloring book and pencils are less intimidating than a blank canvas and oil paint cleanup.
Just found you and I'm amazed at the amount of coloring books you have collected!!! Your work is beautiful, the blending, and detail is wonderful, but you would have to live another lifetime to complete all of them 😄 Thank you for sharing your love of color and detail. Do you have a video showing the supplies you use, very interested to see that. Happy Coloring 💖💙💚💛💜🌈
Lately i either use random number generator or get a friend to pick numbers and then i colour the pic that matches that number until i finish book then ill do the same to pick next book and continue things that way to keep me from getting bored and hopefully do books i havent touched yet in the 3 years ive been colouring
I love to color and I love trying different inks and pencils. I have so many different coloring books that they are getting hard to hind from my husband. Lol.
January 11,2020 oooo my goodness thank you soooo Much for sharing this ,, I had no idea there was a book creative companion planner 2020 that you can put so many mediums for coloring in 1 book,, thanks to you I just ordered it ,,,I’m a huge animal lover,, a foster for kitties,,, Again thanks from California 😂💗😻🐾🐾
Beautiful work. It never crossed my mind to use distress inks in the colouring books. I have used just about everything else but it just never dawned on me. I'm going to watch your video on it next.
I am just starting out with colouring and my new prisma premier pencils. Love your work, so beautiful as always. How long have you been colouring? Keep up the wonderful videos, I love them!
@@ZucchiniKitty your welcome!!! I do have a video request for some day in the future 8) I'd love to be able to watch you color the Elephant page in the Land book by Rita Berman. It's on the right hand page just incase with a little hummingbird
Hello, Absolutely loved this video. Talk about inspiration! You do such beautiful work. I do have a question about how you do the splatter paint background without getting the paint all over the picture you are going to color? If you do it after you colored it, how do you keep the splatter from covering the picture where you don’t want it? Love the randomness look but nervous about messing up the picture. Thanks for video and will be starting my ink journey after this. Take care!
Thank you. Yes I do the splattering after the page is complete, it is the last thing I do. If there is a area I do not want any splatter I will tear a piece of paper to lay down on the page do the splattering then remove the paper... it keeps the splatter from getting onto that spot.
What is “distress ink”? You seem to use it on backgrounds, from what you’ve mentioned. (Sorry if it’s a dumb question, none of the other youtubers I’ve watched have used it)
Tim Holtz Distress® Inks are a collection of acid-free, non-toxic, fade resistant, water-based dye inks. They're perfect for the new vintage, stained, aged effect crafters are creating in their altered books, scrapbook pages, cards and paper craft projects. I use them in Color Books to create different backgrounds and also to color the images.
Karen, what an awesome supply of books you have. I am extremely interested in getting into using the distressed inks. What colours would you suggest to start with, and are the mini pads big enough to start with. It would seem like a more economical way to start.
Yes they are, the mini's are a great starter set. I use alot of pinks, blues, and greens because of there versatility for clouds, grasses, and because I love victorian velvet...lol browns are good for ground cover... You just pick out what colors you like, if you don't like them you will not use them...
Just what to no if when you use pastels in the background when you use Sealant on you page can you go back in and use pencils just sent for the spray xx Karen xx i😊🫠🤗🦋🌹⭐️your a star love your videos xx and your Chanel x Wendy uk 🇬🇧 Xx
I just found out about you....you’re amazing! I want to color like you! I have distress inks, but only a set of 48 Prisma colors. A set of 72 Koh-I-Noor pencils. I didn’t buy the new premiers because I heard such bad things, they’re not made well! Would you recommend another brand? Or I should just practice with what I have......lol! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Loved seeing more follow alongs I would love to do - hmm your missing the beauty of horror books do you see yourself getting any of these books in the future? Ps looking forward to your supplies video - also did you see there are new colours being released for the distressed inks- they have just released speckled egg.

Stickles are a glitter glue from Tim Holtz/Ranger: www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXCR5XU/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_ap3.Eb47C1F7K
