I’m so glad I found you and this video. I have hundreds of pencils that I hardly use because they scare me. In the past I’ve just bumbled my way through making a horrible mess. You’ve given me hope, and I’m going to practice again. Thank you. 😀💜

I don't think I have ever seen colored pencils look that pretty. I love it!
-
So glad you explained when to layer light colors first and when to use dark first. I always hear different opinions and your explanation makes sense. And it's super helpful to see them in action!

You know I've always considered myself a pretty decent coloured pencil artist, and I have a very light hand and love the medium. I love layering It's kind of my speciality, I'm known for it. But even with all that experience I learnt some stuff and you explained it so well. I'm saving this video so next time someone says to me "oh wow is that really coloured pencils how do you do that I can send them this video. Thank you.

I’m not really good at colouring although I love working with pencils. This is by far the best tutorial on layering I’ve seen. You’ve inspired me to go back to this medium.

I am totally mixed media. I start with watercolor and add what ever next. But the lightest area I tape off to get the colors to be true. I love layers! Great video!!!❤

I have never been able to mix my colours the way I have in my head. This tutorial has really changed the way I layer and use colour. Thank you!!!!

[10:40] When you find out that your regular "circle coloring" is really a professional technique 😶😂
