Adult Colouring | My Colourful Country Life

In today’s colouring tutorial, I’m showing you how to create an easy watercolour background using Sakura Koi Colouring Brush Pens. This is the next video in my Background Series, where we explore different background ideas to add to our colouring pages. For this one, I’m working in Summer Nights by Hanna Karlzon and using the Sakura Koi Brush Pens. I’ll show you how I dilute and blend the colours to create a soft gradient, how I avoid harsh edges, and how I add a slightly dappled effect rather than a completely smooth wash. I’ll also finish the background with some gold and white details for a little extra interest. The Sakura Koi Brush Pens are water-based, so there are lots of ways we can use them in our colouring books. The pens featured in this video were originally sent to me a year ago by @SakuraAustralia as part of the Sakura Star programme. This video is not sponsored. I hope this gives you another quick and easy background idea to try on one of your own colouring pages. 🔗 LINKS: Background Series Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxhknBUSy5awkVR8WqTOKoAPK3wd8HU3j How to Use Masking Fluid: https://youtu.be/wa2_UNYgQxg PRODUCTS & SUPPLIES Sakura Koi Colouring Brush Pens 24 Set: https://amzn.to/4ht56U1 Sakura Gelly Roll Pens: https://amzn.to/4bBkJ81 You can find the other supplies I use in my Amazon Storefront linked below, including my water brushes, palettes and other colouring supplies. 🎨PALETTEKIT: PaletteKit is your go-to toolkit for finding colour combinations, converting pencils across brands and organising your colouring collection all in one place. 🔗 Try PaletteKit here: www.palettekit.com 🛒 SHOP MY AMAZON STOREFRONT US: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mycolourfulcountrylife UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/mycolourfulcountrylife AUS: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/mycolourfulcountrylife 🎁 SAVE ON ART SUPPLIES – EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS • Grabie – 15% off with code **KARENART** • Diamond Art Club – 20% off your first purchase with code **COUNTRYLIFE20** • Ohuhu – 10% off with code **MyColourfulLife10** • Caydo – 15% off with code **MYCOLOURFULCOUN** • Cutebee – 10% off with code **MYCOLOURFULLIFE** • Journalsay – 8% off with code **MYCOUNTRYLIFE** ☕ WORKSHEETS & DOWNLOADS Looking for my colour combo worksheets, pencil conversion charts, swatch charts and more?
