You have a beautiful sense of colors. Thank you for sharing your lovely work. God bless you.

Hello K I love your page . Please dont apologise for anything you for us whether its one page only or twenty. Love all your mixed media you use its wonderful to see. 💖💖

Do what makes u happy K. We love u as u are. We came here knowing u as u are. U dont have to do anything else / more. We are here coz u r here. If u wanna do slow, just do slow, we all do slow as well. <3

Those pens are lovely, so smooth and pigmented. Wish I had access to them. Did they bleed through the page?

Oh dear K , please take care of yourself , and just do what you really enjoy . You are such a wonderful artist ( and my favourite ) and yes , indeed we all go through colouring / art slumps . It’ll pass ! ❤

I find some things that help me are first not picking out pages in advance. I'm more interested if it's not an obligation, like I "need" to color these books. I choose my coloring completely on the spur of the moment, and I finish what I started while I'm still interested. WIPS don't work for me. I buy a lot of smaller format books and more simple books so I can color without a lot of work sometimes. I love my detailed stuff but I do more of it if I do a small or simple page in between. I'm not remotely interested in how many pages I complete in a month, I just take each one as it's own experience. Also I keep my materials separated so I'm not seeing all my things all the time.. I find it more fun to color with a "new" set of pencils if I haven't used them in a while, and I get bored with even my favorite things if I use them too often. I even have a couple of small sets for the challenge of using a limited number of colors. I color in different styles and techniques.. I have different ways of basing, different types of pencils, different types of paint. I have more than a few ways to color quickly.. prismas blend out over paper so you can lay down the dark color and spread it with the prisma blender.. it looks like you used a bunch of colors but you didn't. Super fast and kind of magical. I've been using watercolor/Inktense pencils with alcohol blender a LOT lately, also super fast and a completely different look. I can use alcohol markers alone or to base and pencils on top.. or watercolor/Inktense pencil licked off the tip with a water brush.. or pull out my Tombows (any watercolor marker) and use them off a palette like paint.. or grab my Lyras or Procolour and do a bunch of elaborate layering. I recently bought some Crayola crayons to play with. Keep it fresh and new. I recently found out that gel pens are watersoluble...haven't tried that yet but I've seen it in action. The Sakura Moonlights worked exceptionally well. I also recently saw someone "coloring" with a ball point pen using hatching, cross hatching, and dots. Sometimes I'm just not up to it and that's ok too, if you get down on yourself it just makes it harder to get back to coloring. Be kind to yourself, give yourself permission to take a break. Sometimes I just play with my stuff.. experiment, re-swatch and re-sort a set, test new color combinations or techniques, test media in the back of a book and make notes so you can see at a glance what works and what doesn't the next time you want to color in it, etc. Pull out watercolors or waterbased pens and play with mixing colors, or try to match a specific color by mixing. Look through my books at pages I've done and pages still left to do. I still count that as "coloring". I learn more doing stuff like that than actually coloring a page. I often listen to an audiobook while coloring, some people can't do this (just depends on your brain) but I color/paint best while the other side of my mind is busy too. Hours fly by...so much so I have to be careful during the week, I come up out of my coloring zone to realize I should have been in bed an hour ago.

I too am working in this very same book n have actually coloured this picture n am working on another page.I also am working on a page in Kamelia Angelkova book too……….too many pages n not enough time……Happy Colouring K❤

K, don't allow YT spoil the pleasure of your colouring. You are one of the best out there and you have your own style, we love you no matter what, don't do things for us, do them for yourself. If one month you don't film the finished pages it's not the end of the world. You can replace it with a video "my finished pages in X book" and we would be delighted. I hope you get out of your colouring slump soon and if you don't, no worries. I loved your video, I'm working on a Mythographic page in Magical Earth and I coloured along with you. Enjoy your colouring! ❤❤❤

I love your videos K hope you get out of your slump soon! Judging by your videos you are so very busy so don’t stress your pages are beautiful and vibrant - please don’t stop ! 🇦🇺❤️ Chris

Even though you’re on the struggle bus right now, know that the bus is full of others who lost a bit of mojo right now. And even though you are in a slump you have colored a beautiful start to a picture to share with us and it is much appreciated 🥰

Hi K! I am a lot older than you ( my picture is from years ago😂😂) but womans have moodswings because of hormones and other stuff, be nice to yourself. And you said it yourself: go with the flow and do what you like at that moment. It gets worse if you force yourself and also your coloring can be also affected, which in turn does not make you happy…Lovely K, we do love you all, but not own you. To me your work is fabulous and amazing and you give a lot of nice ideas to work with. Don’t give yourself a burnout K! Try to enjoy the process of just one page and keep smiling!!!! Whe are happy, when you are happy! Lots of hugs!🤗

We all feel like that sometimes. But I admire you so much, you're a great artist❤

I go through colouring slumps too. Usually when the weather is too hot or too cold or what I was working on was taking to long. Be kind to yourself. You lead a very busy life. You will get back on track. I haven't anything on the go at the moment picture wise but I am in the midst of swatching my Chromaflow 150.

I've been feeling pressure to colour "perfectly" and have watched so many videos that inspire me. Then I look through some books and just can't seem to find anything I'm confident enough to colour. I have to keep reminding myself that noone will even see it if I mess it up so badly I wouldn't post it but yeah I can only Imagine how it would feel for you because it's all on camera. In saying that though I don't think I've ever seen a picture you've done that I've thought isn't beautiful. Get what you're saying though and hope you get your "mojo" back because I can tell how much you love this amazing hobby. Lol you just said exactly what I was writing...about the extra pressure because of your channel

I love the way you're doing the leaves - this is turning out to be such a cheerful picture. I have this book and you've inspired me to start this page... I've been overwhelmed everytime I open it. Your slump could also due to the fact that you're starting back at school soon, I always get melancholy when a holiday draws to an close. I've found that colouring isn't so much a holiday activity as it's a day to day escape when we're thrust back into real life. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

Hey K you doing awesome work. What you like using mostly colorpencils or watercolor ? Can you recommend what are good watercolors ? I appreciate good quality watercolors I havent using before watercolors can you recommend what is good brand of watercolors. I have seen you using sometimes watercolors. I dont want buy before I like hear for you this recommend and what brand you recommend because you are my big idol.

This has been a busy summer so I had to drop down to one video a week. Colouring is supposed to relax and be my creative outlet so stressing over filming content does take some joy out of the hobby if you let it. I hope you film your completed pages even if there are only 4! Hugs from 🇨🇦🫶🏻

Sorry to hear you are in a colouring slump. You are one of my favourite artists, and I always feel happy when I see one of your videos. It must be a lot of pressure creating content, but your work is amazing, and I think your genuine, honest nature is so relateable. Hope you feel better soon. I also bought some of those markers from B and M. I haven't tried them yet, so thanks for showing how to use them. The leaves look lovely.

I think your colouring looks beautiful I’ve been working on lost ocean by Joanna 😊

Hi k beautiful colouring in.. I’ve been in a colouring slump for ages. I thought of me buying the 150 set chromaflow pencils would help as they were on prime day sale but after swatching them ect putting them in a case I still feel it.. what’s stopping me is pain.. so I lay down and watch RUclips colouring in.. thank you for sharing ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx

Colouring is supposed to be fun…maybe you need to do easier pics where you dont have to think to much or a colour by number. I usually do mandalas when i get in a slump.

I love how you use the markers for the leaves....so pretty ❤

I really enjoy your colouring and explanations of what, where and how in this video. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi K!! oh man...yes!!! I just got thru a horrible slump! I was ripping pages out cause I hated them!! I kept trying. I watched a ton of videos and started a color along with Karen from My Colorful Country....and I was not liking my page at all. Well something shifted and I went on a journey of using her techniques but picking my own colors. It snapped me right out of the mood. We are all different with our style and how long or how we color...even what we like to use. Sometimes I try 10 different mediums!!! We need to do what brings us back to the joy!! I love watching and listening and learning from you "you tubers" I am so grateful for thr time and effort that goes into it. We are all so critical of ourselves we miss the point. Sometimes I have a spare paper and write out what is going on in my head about my project and myself...then ask myself if I would say these things to a friend or my sons or anyone?? Nope...it would be so unkind. You are amazing K!! Keep doing you!!!!❤

I so feel this, thank you for sharing ☺☺

I think you are amazing! I love your channel and the way you go all out on your pages. I get in a slump sometimes too. I think I buy so much stuff that I feel like I'm overwhelmed when I try to select a new page to color. I also have soooo many supplies and that gets a bit overwhelming when I'm trying to decide. Whenever I get a break at work and I see you have a new video posted, I get so excited. I'll watch it on a break and it calms me. I just purchased quite a few Korean books from Etsy and Amazon because of your last book haul video. I wanted to start a channel and posted a couple of things but then deleted them. I look forward to your videos more than you know. Thank you for all you do :)

Honestly we all feel like this, its not just you, I am so slow at colouring, even on a good month, I'm rarely getting more than 6/7 complete, but I try not to worry or put pressure on myself about it. In my head, I do tell myself "just stay in my own lane" I really do try and just do what pleases myself, ( I know that sounds selfish) But this isn't my job, I'm not getting paid, it has to be good for me, and if someone else is doing it bigger or better, well great, but I'm just me and I'm not going to force myself to do stuff that I'm not wanting to do. ( easy said I know) As you've said, its a hobby, its for fun, relaxation, and I do like the mental challenge of trying to do something as I imagine it to be. but I have had some down months this year, and I think that's totally normal as well. We have stressful busy jobs, and the truth is sometimes you just need to do nothing for a bit to recover. I dont like not filming finished pages, because it is the video I enjoy the most, but If I have a month I dont film one, its really not the end of the world, you do what you need to do for yourself. ( Ive not got much done either, had quite a bit to do as well.) I generally find finding a page that you really want to work on is the best for kick starting me wanting to colour. Enjoy your time and relax, x ❤

You should try changing it up and color flat with no shading on pages you are not super excited about. I have been doing a 'grading' of my pencil collection lately, as I have too many and want to destash some. They are easy to compare in my Amazon books doing just a few layers with minimal shading.

K I often hear you say when flipping through certain books " I just love this page, it makes me smile everytime". I suggest perhaps you set aside your August stack of books and pick one of the books that simple delight you!!

K at the moment I have 3 small projects in the works. A couple of pages in Small Victories, a page in Millie Marotta's Secrets of the Sea & a page in Rita's Asien which I am inserting washi tape on some of the objects. It's summer in my part of the USA & when not @ work being outdoors is a priority. The pens you are using to do the leaves are so unusual. You are by far the most interesting colorist I enjoy. You should not apply pressure to yourself. You are being too serious. Remember when we were all children, colored out of the lines, use any color we wanted. It was pure joy as it was meant to be. Joy is the word. Look forward to your next adventure. 👋

Loving the leaves 🍃

I been in a slump as well. I think I only colored 2 pages in July! And I'm a homeschool mom and the first day back was a few days ago so I have less free time for coloring 😞 The last week before school started I really wanted to get as much coloring done as possible but of course that was when I lost my inspiration! I wish this didn't happen to me so often! But I'm just thankful for coloring and being a part of such a wonderful community! 🥰❤️

We all go through slumps. Look at what’s going on in your life. Just moved, boxes to unpack, extra work signed up for and done, holiday taken, and now prepping for return to school. Whew! That’s a lot. Give yourself some grace. Your mojo will return. We love you as a colorist and a teacher. Rest and replenish. ❤

Beautiful K!!! Need information on those markers?? what Brand or Name please!!

How do you apply your glitter ? And what did you use to make your crown gold? Thank you in advance

Hi. Im currently making / updated my color swatchs ( pencils) Take care there and we always wish you the best !! Just enjoy , and yah take it easy.. you are our favourite colorist, you are so talented but at the same time very humble.. Always take care. ❤

Can you explain the difference between the distress ink and the oxide. I’ve heard that the oxide will bleed through in colouring books?

I'm coloring the lobster claw heliconia page in Maria Trolle's Luna. I love tropical flowers.

Love your videos K we all go through a colouring slump it will soon pass, love how you have coloured the leaves thank you for sharing where to get the pens from will be off to B&M to get some ❤

Where do you buy your distress ink from please?

Your leaves are fantastic! I've not seen this technique before.

Hi K! We all go through coloring slumps. And never think you aren't good enough. You are possibly the best colorist out there. Give yourself grace and give yourself patience because this will pass. We love you!❤

Looks good. I’ve been in a coloring slump for a while now. It will pass. Love your videos. ❤

💗💜💗

I'm really enjoying re-watching this colour along series. I like all your colour alongs but this is one of my favourites.

what a cute haul, I love it 😊😊

Hi K! Great haul!! The latest purchase i did was coloring book fantastic worlds from Alessandra Fusi. It is full of double spread pages, so awesome!

I love 💕 your choices of coloring books 📕 ❤🎉😊

Awesome, looking forward to watching the next instalment with my morning coffee tomorrow. Ive been going back through all your colour alongs, now that I've got a spot more colouring experience. I'm loving watching them again. I understand much more now. When I first started it seemed inconceivable that I coukd ever attemp something like it. Now, I'm keen to try.

Nice books. Obviously lovely supplies too. A small set of good watercolour pencils is a great idea to take on holiday. I have a 36 set of Koh-I-Noor Mondeluz for that. I'm trying very hard not to buy much these days, from the money point of view and because my tiny hobby and home office room is really small. And it's full. But recently I bought the King Art gel sticks because they were on a good deal for a few days on Amazon. And now I don't know how best to use them!
