Adults Who Color

[D4thAngel]

The watercolor pencils I bought are creamy, so vibrant sya, Then I tried mixing 2 colors, then used a wet brush, maganda naman effect. Madali lang sya gamitin sis kasi pencils lang din naman yun.

Are Colleen water color pencils available in department stores and bookstores?

Curious ako sa watercolor pencils.  Madali lang ba gamitin?

Madali lang, sis, but you have to check muna if your paper can take a wet medium. Maganda yung effect nya pero may tendency sya mag kulubot (IDK the proper term) ng paper. Minsan pag nabasa na yung paper, nag iiba na yung texture pag natuyo. Di na sya flat. so usually pag ginagamit ko sya, sa small areas lang.

Isa pang caution sa watercolor pencils + water, mahirap bawiin or icorrect yung mga lagpas. Or baka di lang ako marunong. LOL.

In short, they have their use pero mejo ingat lang but they're versatile because you can use them wet or dry.

^pag mag cocorrect try mo yung clean wet brush lang, pero pag hindi kasi pang watercolor na paper talaga mabilis matuyo so mas mahirap na magcorrect parang magsstain na sya agad

Hooked on this as well and it's supposed to be promote mindfulness pero there's a tendency to be OC and addicted to it, so nakaka-stress na sya. Seriously though, I've observed I sleep better after coloring and my comprehension is sharper. But it may be coz I've been watching TV less and coloring more these days.

Agree!  Na-s-stress din ako pag nakikigulo ang bagets, ayaw na daw coloring books for kids! Eh hello ang mahal nun diba. I kept it in the cabinet para lang makalimutan nya, pero ako din, nakalimutan ko na din until I saw this thread.

^you can try to buy her the cheap ones na lang or iphotocopy mo yung book mo, or magprint ka na lang ng pages for her para sabay kayo magcolor dati nun di pa uso yan sa pinas, search key ko lang psychedelic coloring page lol tapos nagpprint lang ako.

I saw colleen color pencils last sunday at fully booked moa 48 colors for 600+php. 60 colors naman available at sm dept store for 730phpg.  Better head to joli's, a lot cheaper.

I'm trying out this new hobby too. Coloring is a pretty nice stress reliever. I bought my colouring book at NBS. It's the one by Thaneeya McArdie. 315pesos siya. Currently, I'm using just my Faber Castel coloured pencils, Crayola Twistable Crayons and Art Attack coloured markers. I'm considering on buying gel pens na rin. It's pretty addicting!

[theshopaholicprincess]

count me in!

I asked my hubby last May to buy a coloring book in FullyBooked titled Secrets of Paris, nakakaaliw lang magkulay. Faber Castell na color pencils lang yung meron ako.

Next plan ko bilhin yung paint your own Impressionism / Monet / Degas / Cezanne at Manet
I am still trying to learn the strokes for color pencil and would love to add up yung Faber Castell na color pencils na watercolors. I am setting a budget for my new hobby kasi nga hubby wouldn't allow me to go all out kasi I am still starting palang daw.

Nakakatuwa lang sa hobby na ito kasi di mo namamalayan yung oras at saka nakakawala ng stress. Natatawa rin ako kasi yung boss ko she's into coloring books din. To think she's so busy at work and yet finding time to do the adult coloring books.

Time flies talaga once nasa "zone" ka na.

Nahihirapan ako mag isip ng color combination kaya naghahanap ako ng inspiration sa internet tapos dina-download ko para my reference ako. Na sstress ako pag kailangan ko pa mag isip hahaha.

I noticed that when I started coloring, nagiging relaxed ako.  Di na tumataas bp ko -- hahaha!  I look forward to coloring yet I am not good at color combinations and shading.  Sometimes, I feel pressured kasi ang gaganda ng mga posts ng iba.

[jamie_0117]

I have Dream Cities, wala ako masyado makitang inspiration via google image search though

[mommyxthree]

What's your favorite coloring book and why?

[happytalker]

Ako din hirap sa color combination especially madaming areas ang dapat kulayan. Any suggestion?

Me too I'm not good with color combination and I only have limited colors. I want to splurge on more colors pa but I read na good quality color pencils allows you to do the color combinations. Ito rin yung gusto ko matutunan.

I hope this helps As MUA kasi, we have to apply the color theory. Pero I admire pa din those who can do color combinations by instinct. Mechanical kasi masyado pag may rules.

[happytalker]

Thank you sis. I was able to open the link, will try to apply it

hello everyone!! kolorista here since August 2015 and until now I'm loving this even more!

are you guys part of the coloring for adults ph group on facebook?

I love the creative haven coloring books. It's affordable and magaganda and maraming yung designs. I don't buy those expensive coloring books kasi super mahal. I'd rather buy the creative haven or design originals series kasi in a PHp 599 book, i can buy two coloring books na.

I just bought the prismacolor scholar pencils and I love it! Hindi kasi kaya sa budget yung premier. =D
