I just have to share with you that this was my very first colored pencil tutorial and now after watching TONS of them, I keep coming back to yours. Hands down it taught me more than all the others put together. Thank you for all your hard work! ❤
Oh my goodness! This is so sweet of you to say. I'm so happy you're learning from my videos. Have a wonderful day!
Kristy! You are right! Pamela is an excellent teacher! She breaks it down and explains it well! The color pencils really make the difference! She tells us the names of them and the brand! Great comment by you! I am learning also! 😎🩷❤️👏👍🏽
I've found that choosing the right color combinations is the big trick. And it's taking some experience and time. I was a charcoal colorist and I'm finding color to be amazing.
i was feeling discouraged because i was coloring like the first pot you showed. but now with these tips, i have some kind of base to experiment with and build on. thank you for this!
I'm so glad it was helpful. Happy Coloring!
Pamela, I am SO happy that I found your videos, and especially this one because it taught me how to conserve my Prismacolors. They are already pretty worn down after only about 4 months but no more will I color (or sharpen) that way! Thanks for really teaching me how to color. Can't wait to put it into practice and watch more of your videos!
THIS is what I've been looking for! Real time. Descriptive techniques. Step by step for people like me. Yay!
You’ve come to the right place for sure! I hope you enjoy my tutorials.
My grandma and great grandma loves/loved adult coloring.. when my great grandma was alive I was amazed by her coloring skills as I’m seeing similar techniques.. I’ve always had a heart for coloring as I grew up with it, I’ve finally found my area of coloring books I love and these techniques are so extremely helpful.. this makes me super excited to continue the family artistry of adult coloring ❤️
What fond memories to have. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. Never stop coloring. ♥️
I am new to this hobby and just discovered your channel Pamela, your videos make these tips so much easier to understand and so inspire viewers to try themselves. Superb thank you! 🤩👍 Peace, respect and stay safe, Ben
Hi Ben and welcome! I am so glad you're enjoying my videos. There are many more parts in this series. Enjoy! Happy Coloring.
Girl!!! I am so excited I am Learning to REALLY color.. I always tried to outline and color circles.. but couldn’t get the shades & colors.. Please teach us More More of this type of stuff, How to color Into true ART!!! I Love it..
I saw that Amazon Basic has a set of colored pencils I wonder if they are better that crayola.. I won’t ever buy super expensive colors.. but I would swing for those Amazon Basics I saw someone using for Bible journaling, that’s why I started coloring more & my skill level because I got a color & journaling Bible and I want it to be good..
This is so helpful!! I stumbled across this when I was looking for tips for colouring books and didn’t intend on watching the entire 40 mins... but I did!!! You made everything look so easy and beautiful. I’ll definitely be try this in my first colouring book. 😊💖💖
I am so glad you enjoyed this video and got so much out of it. Happy Coloring!
Thank you so much Pamela. This was a fantastic video to help me understand the beginnings of how to make the coloring page "pop". All of your videos are so full of great information for beginners. I can't tell you how excited I am to be learning these tips. You have completely changed my love for coloring into a passion for coloring.
Oh this makes me so happy. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos and learning from them. Happy coloring! 💕
I clicked thinking there’s no way I’ll see anything new, right? Well I was mistaken. Thank you for taking the time to do this! I’ve been coloring obsessively since COVID. Thank you!
By the way the camera looks up close to the picture and you can tell it’s hand drawn, it’s “imperfect” like a Hand drawn picture, and I absolutely love that. I respect that so much in a coloring book. I’ve been creating a coloring book for more than 15 years and I’m so hard on myself, that this book you’re coloring in is making me feel like I really should just publish it.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! That was very sweet of you.
Thank you for all the great info and demonstrations! I’m a newby to coloring and I’m hooked!
I loved this video. Your so easy to understand and explained how to that i could follow with no problems. Thank you!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Happy Coloring!
Yes...what she said. 😊
Me too - well said Tinnia 😊
Yes! She is a great teacher! 👍🏽👍🏽😎😎👏👏
Finally, the explanation I needed to feel confident that I could do this. I just didn't know where to begin. Thank You so much for your fab videos!!

Thank you for making beginner videos.... need more of these videos aimed for beginners🥰
I have an entire Playlist for beginners. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/play/PLCV050IiJShqP3QUd-Y-01yGs1k1IJsWY.html
I am a true beginner. You made this so clear that I know I will incorporate this procedure. You instill confidence
Welcome to my channel and this wonderful hobby of coloring. I’m so glad this video was helpful. Happy coloring!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils 😊
That turquoise pot turned out beautiful!
I loved it!! Thank you so much 😊
LOVE how you explain so we can understand. Love coloring, but I’m clueless. This is awesome.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Make sure you catch the rest in this series. Happy Coloring!
You are marvelous Pamela!! You explain so well and it's very educational to watch you color. I will definitively watch all your video, one at a time and I'm sure I'll learn as I think you are a very good teacher. Thank you.
That is so very sweet of you to say. I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. Happy Coloring!
Thank you for doing this video. I do have a critique tho and that is that as a new/beginner I have not spent hundreds of dollars on colored pencils, rather bought cheap such as Crayola and such. I can only imagine that other newbies have done the same.
@PLTubbsfavorites totally agree. The Prismacolors she's using currently cost $139.99 on Amazon -- way more than I'm prepared to spend on colored pencils at this point in time. I've only just started dipping my toes into adult coloring (I've dabbled in it from time to time over the years but not for any real length of time), so it doesn't really make sense to drop $140 on pencils until I'm sure it's something I love doing. No doubt most newbies are in the same boat. I have 48 colors to work with -- not 150. 😒
This is really really good! I have two coloring books on the way in the mail and I’m serious about learning how to add these coloring techniques to my coloring pages and /or drawings .
Binge watching your videos and learning by leaps! I haven't started working with my supplies yet, but can't wait to try.❤️
I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. Grab a coloring book and some pencils and get started! Happy Coloring!
Ha-ha-ha! That's just what I'm like: binging on Pamela's videos and learning so much......but I still haven't taken the BIG step yet with my new colored Prisma pencils! Okay, I'm gong to dive in right now!! Enjoy your coloring! Lynn in NYC
I am new to coloring. I color like the 1st pot you colored. I will have to try your technique.
And that is exactly how I want to color!! Thank you!!
Thank you for taking the time to show us these techniques
Thank u so much for this video. I and also new to color pencils and am so excited at all the amazing things I'm learning i can do with them.. I'll keep watching!!!
Wonderful wonderful video! I bought this book just based on this video and now I gotta get to work to finish it using the techniques you just taught me. Mine still don’t look as good as yours but I’m fairly new at this so I’ll keep practicing!!!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me!
O
Thank you those pots are beautiful. Can't wait to try this! 🌹♥️
Fantastic tutorial ive been watching a lot to help me with my colouring

Really helpful,really effective,and not too late to go back over some earlier pictures to improve them.
I have been stuck on pot #2 thank you this will help bunches
Wow that was an amazing video!! It really was very helpful- thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is brilliant! I am a fair beginner at colouring so thank you for this terrific video!
Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful.
Such a great video on stepping up your coloring game and why!! 👏👏 I've been thinking that it might make a great series on finishing up your coloring pages. You often comment on videos that "I've not finished this page, but I really should." Some could be fixing pages that were tutorials like the pots here. You could do one page per month and let your FB group vote on which page you finish. Just a thought. May your coloring be stress-free!! 🤗
I’m going to get that coloring book this weekend
This is a very helpful video thanks for sharing 😁.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, what a difference, ty. I want to get my col books back out.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Coloring!
I love these tips. I have a full set of the prismacolors being delivered tomorrow. I'm looking forward to putting these tips to some action.
Oh how fun!! Prismacolor heaven!! Enjoy them!
That was crazy at the end.. when you were adding the darkest color it looked like the pot would move if you kept pushing it!!! WOW!! Please KEEP doing these color sessions I Love them!! I LOVE ART and wish I could draw & color.. I think I am gonna try..
Please do try it! That’s why I make these videos. There is definitely more to come. Happy Coloring!
I am glad I found your channel. Almost a year to the day you shared these tips! I have learned a lot just by this one video!! Thank you... Stay safe and healthy. From Chicago, Renee
Hi just found you on UA-cam and I've been a longtime colourist not quite a year I don't think but I really enjoy it even though I am severely visually impaired :)

Another beaut, thank you Pamela xx
these videos would only help me if I could color in the exact same page that your coloring at the same time.
Thank you so much! I finally understand how color pencil works
I’m so glad my video was helpful. Happy Coloring!
Thank you! You are so great to learn from.
That's very sweet. I'm so glad this video was helpful to you. Happy Coloring!
Gorgeous!
I meant to add that I would love to see this page completed!
This page is being used as a test page for this series. I don’t usually complete the pages I use for videos like these. If you’d like to follow a color along with full tutorials, there are a few playlists for that on my channel. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos.
I have been struggling with color blending for quite some time. This video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Loved this !!!! Thanks so much Pamela !!!!
You are so welcome!
These techniques are amazing! But im gonna stick with pot #1
This video lesson was so informative, and so well presented. You are an excellent teacher of coloring elements for us to learn from. As a newbie to coloring, I am going through your video lessons and will practice, practice and practice some more. Thank you for posting these video lessons for us.
Hello Pamela. I am new to the adult coloring community. I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I subscribed. I love your techniques.
I was still using my 64 box of Crayola Crayon Colors that I love. I was coloring in kids' books with looks of white space. However, I was still coloring like a kid. Scribbling everywhere. And definitely not coloring skin or backgrounds. 😂
Thank you so much for this video. I bought the Prismacolor Premier Pencil and the Faber-Castell Watercolour Penils, my two favorites back in 2020 for Bible Journaling. They are still new. I just wasn't able to graps using these Penils. But, after this tutorial, I am going to give them a try.
Question: I think it has been confusing me that it seems like you are coloring the same image 3 or 4 times. Like using highlights, med tone, and dark tones. It seems like it would take forever to color one item on the page. So, I guess that's how it is supposed to be done? And oh yeah, I couldn't really tell, are you doing circling motions and strokes?
I am going to watch part 2 next. Tfs
Excellent tutorial on blending, highlighting, and shading. As I am starting all of your videos over again, I am learning things I missed the first go around before my health issue. The good thing is I was still able to acquire supplies, so I was able to get this coloring book by Eriy and some others that you also have tutorials and tips/tricks/hacks in. A lot of the Johanna Basford books, Kerby Rosanes, and some Teresa Goodridge, and I just received 4 set of Whimsical Gnomes, it doesn't give artist just Adalida Quinn Press. But I wanted to thank you again for this very instructional and easy to learn and follow along video! Can't wait to move along to the next.
Thank you Pamela, I enjoyed this video. I still wonder about the highlights, while understanding how to include shadows. How do you decide where to add highlights? I think of highlights being used to represent a shine and often shy away from using them on things like the terracotta pots. Are the highlights always determined by the source of light, therefore, being on the same side of each item you color? When you color the leaves and add highlights, do all the leaves get highlights or only ones that would be touched by a source of light? Looking forward to your response.
Very nice! Great video for beginners, and us middle gals too. Thank you! Kathy
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Pamela, what a really enjoyable and useful tutorial, thanks so much for sharing your skills 💖
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Nice tips!
Excellent video!! New to coloring and new subriber! Thank you!!
Welcome to my channel and to this wonderful hobby.
Thank you I learn a lot you’re amazing
Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. Happy Coloring!
Very pretty -- thanks for all the ideas.
Pls teach about highlighting and its position
Hi Cynthia, this video may help - ua-cam.com/video/rE3b_SOx3r0/v-deo.html
I learned so much from this video. Thank you so so much taking the time to do this. Would you be interested in completing this page at some point? So that we may be able to follow along come, to learn how to make all of the different items on this page come together. It's very overwhelming
Looks great
Thank you.
Great video! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous tutorial, it helped a lot especially the turquoise pot it turned out beautifully
thank you for another brilliant tutorial Pamela 😀
My pleasure 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful day!
Loving this very informative and helpful video. Thanks for doing that. Although I have seen it lots of times on other uploads, having it the way you explained it was really helpful. I'm such a newbie in terms of I have zero knowledge about shade and light and blending etc., it's watching uploads like this that really help and "give" me something. Thank you for that. It's really appreciated. 😁👍❤️
Glad you enjoyed it this video so much. Thanks for watching and Happy Coloring!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. Great tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video I have learnt so much, 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Love my Prismas !!! Thanks for this video!!! What a difference!!! Wow 😳
I love my Prismacolors too! Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Coloring!
I'm a complete noob. I just ordered the 100 piece crayola set and Neenah Paper Exact Vellum Bristol copy paper. I plan on starting with print outs before I destroy any beautiful coloring books. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much. Hopefully in time I will move up to Prizma pencils and books.
Oh I am so glad you found my channel. "Noobs" are definitely welcome here! It's so funny you used that reference as I usually hear that from the gaming community and never here. 😂 Getting PDFs to start is a great idea. There are many wonderful artists that have their books available in PDF format. You chose a great paper. If you're a beginner, I would start with seeing if something by Deborah Muller appeals to you. Jade Summer also has their books available in PDF on their website.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils Well I guess that makes sense because I am also part of or used to be from the gaming community. I just assume everyone knows what noob means but perhaps they don't. I will have to be more considerate in my choice of words in the future. Cheers!!
@@Funtime-kx5rx oh you don’t need to me more considerate in your choice of words for me. I’m also a “gamer” and have been for years so I knew exactly what you meant by it. I actually loved your comment because the wording was so relatable.
Such a big help!
Hello... thanks so much for this video. Going to save it. I am new to this art. I am coming from the mixed media world and somehow your video came up. I am hooked on your videos and others. I ordered my first coloring books. Coming from England I believe so they will take a while to arrive. I have some colored pencils and ink pencils that I use in the mixed media art so I believe I have most of the supplies needed to get started. I am just patiently waiting for my books. Meanwhile I will watch and binge on yours and others coloring channels to get me prepared. You are so good at explaining. Thanks. Oh by the way I went to follow your Facebook page. Hope they accept me because I just opened a Facebook only for the art so I have no previous activity on it like was requested. Thanks again for your videos. God bless!
I look forward to following you with my brand new Prismacolor set.
This is fantastic! Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome ☺️
Thank you..very interesting & informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So cool how u are coloring
Wonderful tips, thanks again!😉😘
You are so welcome!
This was really helpful!
Pamela, something I love is that whenever I visit your channel and comment, you ALWAYS have a ❤️ response ready for me. That personal “extra” is a precious connection for where I’m at in life right now. Bless your heart!
Wow! Thank you for this video. I'm going to dig my pencils back out and have fun!
That makes me smile! I love that I am seeing so many of you saying that you're going to grab your pencils and start coloring again. That is my intention with this entire series. Coloring is such a wonderful hobby and so relaxing. Enjoy yourself and if you're in my Facebook group, please post what you create. I would love to see it. ❤
Great video. Helpful, easy tips.
In so glad my video was helpful. Thanks for watching. Happy Coloring!
Happy New Year !
Happy New Year!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Wouldn't how you color which leaves be also determined by where your light source was and where the leaf is on the tree? If the leaf is more in the center of the tree, wouldn't it be darker or have a smaller or darker highlight if it's more shaded by other leaves?
