Quick Pine Colouring Tutorial + Finishing Colin Thompson Double Page
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Welcome to this relaxed colour & chat with a mini-tutorial thrown in for good measure. Today we are using FC polychromos pencils and some Zest-it blending medium to create a yellow pine-style finish to the bookcase shelves in Colin Thompson's Colouring Book. We follow on with some rambling as I finish the page. Chat includes yum yums, food in general and things people don't own any more.

I love how much you talk I love how you bring attention to the things in the book that I never would have noticed! It really helps to hear your thought process
Your famous now! Recommended video by colouring heaven!
Haha. I don't know about famous, but thank you for stopping by!
I love this picture. I have been curious about this book so it has been great watching someone coloring in it. I don't think you talk too much. You always have something interesting to say.
Double yes on the talking, sometimes I would rather hear someone talk than listen to music that doesn't fit my mood at the time! Please keep talking - and now I REALLY want this book! Gem don't change a thing and thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😂💗
I enjoyed watching you color this page.....love the variety of colors. You have inspired me to start coloring this page in this coloring book. Always enjoy listening to your videos...very informative and humorous!!😊😅
thank you for showing your technique with the colorless blender on Polychromos pencils! I just tried it out and it works well! I tried watersoluble media as inktense pencils and blocks and Albrecht Dürer watercolourpencils and they all work quite well. No bleeding through and not much buckling or none at all if you work on small areas and dont use too much water😊
Gem the pages look awesome. You've probably realized by now but you missed a wood section in the last square. Just above the computer. Lol. Understandable in the excitement of finishing such a project.
I enjoy your channel very much and look forward to sharing the time with you. Yes. Keep talking. Love it. Thank for sharing.
Eagle eye, Karen! I didn’t notice it for about three days 😂 I’ve filled it in now though. It’s so easy to miss bits in this book!
I can just imagine. Such busy page. You did very well.
This book is a bit overwhelming, amazing and so much fun. I've been busy on the doors page with my Inktense Pencils and I find it soooooo addictive.
You did a great job and thank you for showing how to colour the wood.
Most welcome ☺️
Excellent tutorial! And I love listening to you!
Thank you so much!
It Looks amazing! I've laughed out loud at the book titles a few times.
I remember my first computer was a chunky huge thing from Radio rentals and I had a well used copy of Encarta, and a healthy collection of floppy disks. Showing my age but, I also remember using an old Amstrad that used the paper disks and we used to have to play Go West, an old simulation where you have to plan out the provisions of some prospectors heading west, and people would come down with dysentery and such on the way and you'd loose them if you didn't pack enough medicine. Oh how far gaming has come.
We Still get the occasional Phone Directory, the Thompson Local. We could be considered old fashioned, we still have a VHS and a few old videos we refuse to let go of, also an old tape recorder, and up until recently we still used an old bone handled butter knife.
My brother in law is american and when he found out some of the stuff we had and were using was from like back in the 60's because it belonged to a gran or an aunt he made a big joke about us using antiques to which we told him that over here it has to be over 100 years to be considered antique, otherwise its just second hand haha.
Thanks for the great video! 🥰👍 Ive just purchased this and can't wait to get started 🥰🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for sharing this with us! I love the wood tip! And please keep on talking - many of us find you super entertaining!!!! :-)
I’m loving this book! It’s perfect for short sessions or for when you aren’t up for colouring larger areas. There are so many little quirky images in little corners! Thank you for a great demo!
Loving this page and the tips on pine colouring
This is beautiful. I am so impressed.
Thank you so much! Thank you for stopping by, and welcome 😊
I really like the pine color combo. You're right about it being a very toothy paper.
I tried both Prisma (wax) and Brutfuners (oil) and I didn't notice any difference in the coverage. I'm probably going to have to use a blending stick to smooth everything out in the end.
Just found your videos and have thoroughly enjoyed both watching and listening to you. The book is amazing. Thank you for shareing. JuliAnn x
Love this book, one of the first I got for all the reasons you describe - but don't visit it enough! Lovely finished page Gem AND keep on talking!!! 😂😂😂
"Slap down" some colour..is that a technical term 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed as per usual 😁 and remember as a fellow oldie they had the big floppy drives, then the hard case thingies. My memory fails me! 😂
I was recommended here by Colouring Heaven and have thoroughly enjoyed your video 😀 great tips on colouring the wood sections and I’m now going to try out my green gold as I don’t think I’ve ever used it 😬
Hi Jane, welcome! Believe it or not, the green-gold is one of my shortest pencils... more versatile than you think 😊
I always print a month-to-view calendar from calendarlabs every year and leave it on the table where I can see appointments at a glance. There are no computers in that room so it's handy having it there.
Gem thanks for another great video and tutorial. I recently found your channel and have been watching all of your old videos. I love your commentary on what you are doing but also the random chit chat and stories. You have really inspired me to pick up some of the books I've never touched and get coloring again.
Welcome Naomi, thanks for coming to hang out with us! Glad you are enjoying the videos, it’s very rewarding to hear that you’re inspired to get back into the groove.
WOW!!!!
I had to go get my copy of this book and continue coloring this picture together with you. It has been WIP for couple of years already :D Thank for tips, I tried your method coloring that wood and I like it.
It's always great when you feel inspired to revisit an old WIP. Glad you joined in 😊
The page looks great, and keep talking love to listen to you.
I just realized that i have a jigsaw puzzle of Ravensburger that has the same design.
Same bookshelves but in different order (the square with the "onion" down the stairs is in the far bottom right side of the puzzle)
Sassy Gem: I am so satisfied! *giggle*
*shake fist at wood grain* I shall defeat you my nemesis! Thanks for a fairly simple way to tackle wood grain! There is so much of it out there!
I love this book but Amazon only has it in stock sometimes and the shipping on, last time I checked was like 12 dollars. [edit: Just checked again and its 31 for the book and 24 shipping] So I am waiting for a more reasonable shipping arrangement to get it.
I want a coloring book just full of small boxes of things to color. Things you can sit down and do in a shot period of time. That is how I color anyway. I will sit down and color for like 15-20 minutes then walk away.
That's why I love this book so much! It's perfect for little gaps of time like that. Hope you get a copy soon!
FYI: if you want to laugh, put the English subtitles on!😂😂💞😁
Someone else said that too - clearly the YT algorithms don't have a clue what to do with a Scots accent!😂
What a cool coloring. Looks great. I have to say this, I just can't help myself. Whoever asked,"why do you talk so much in your video's?" REALLY? Like what are you supposed to be silent? What kind of stupid question is that? It's not like you talk too much. But, how are you going to teach us anything? Plus it's your channel you should be doing what-ever you want. I'm just in amazement that anyone would say that to you. Plus, how rude. I usually would never say any question was stupid, I don't care for that word, but I don't know what else to call it. So I'm sorry I used that word, but... REALLY? Anyway, thanks for all the good advise & please talk, talk, & talk some more. LOL TYFS
You made me laugh, Kim. I don't know - maybe this person thinks I talk a bit too much? Can't please everyone all of the time 🤷♀️
I just can not believe what comes out of people sometimes. Well, I'm glad to give you a giggle at least. LOL Hope you're having a good day.
One is a computer mouse and the one on left is regular mouse. The computer mouse has only front legs and his tail is cord attaching him to computer

This is my third comment. Sorry for spamming, I have been commenting while still watching this video... I have used Inktense in this book and also some watercolors. It's not the best paper for water soluble media, because while it's thick and doesn't warp too much, the surface of the paper starts kind of tearing if you try brushing it too much while it's still wet. I think Inktense pencils with water brush worked the best. However, these pictures look amazing when colored with water soluble media, so if you go carefully, it's worth it. I'm going to send you a pic via FB, because I can't do it here.
Yes please!
Hello, I haven't don't it yet but I have seen some use watercolor ground and gesso in coloring books so they can use watercolor or markers (eats markers unless sanded) I'm sorry I don't remember who I've seen do it but their work looked good doing it that way.
I did think about gesso. I’ll maybe give it a try.
@@TheColourCave I would love to see a video of you trying it if you do end up testing it out!
Noted for future reference! Thanks for the comment 😊
Ive used water based products in my copy of this great book, as with all paper not water color treated, a light hand minimal water and drying between layers will give you great results. Check out Bunny Designs channel, she has videos painting in this book, which is who enabled me to purchase mine😂😂Enjoy your channel so much, and I never get tired of listening to you talk!👍👍
Thank you for the info, Judy, and thanks for watching 🥰
Would you tell a guest in your home that they were talking too much? I don’t think so. The value of your video conversations is only superseded by the value of the knowledge you impart.
OMG, back in my day not only were the computers that ridiculously gross beige/cream/whatever color but so was the monitor - which itself was the size of a large microwave oven.
My approach to the double spread Wonder Room pages in Ivy and the Inky Butterfly was the same - one object at a time. Only problem was I don’t have any WIPs except the one I’m working on so nothing else got accomplished until I finished those pages.
Those old monitors weighed a ton, too!
What now? I cant even downvote anytbing that i dont fike. Fiyagawa ?
