    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! ❤

    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.

    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 ❤️

    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!

      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..

    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.

    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!! 🤗

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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!
