Adult Colouring & Art

A brand new tool for adult colouring is finally here. After years of creating colour combinations on my channel, answering questions about colour conversions and building conversion charts between brands, I realised something was missing in the colouring community. There wasn’t a quick and easy way to: • find colour combinations by colour family • convert those combinations across different pencil brands • organise the pencils you already own • and save palettes for future colouring pages So I built one. In this video I’m introducing PaletteKit, an online toolkit designed specifically for coloured pencil artists. PaletteKit allows you to: 🎨 Browse hundreds of curated colour combinations 🎨 Convert combinations between multiple pencil brands 🎨 Build your own personal pencil kit 🎨 Create and save your own colour palettes 🎨 Find alternative pencils across brands using percentage match comparisons At launch the website includes colour data and conversions across many popular coloured pencil brands, with more being added over time. Brands currently included include: Prismacolor Premier Faber-Castell Polychromos Caran d’Ache Luminance Caran d’Ache Pablo Derwent Chromaflow Derwent Drawing Black Widow Brutfuner (round 180 black barrel) Castle Arts (Soft Touch, Harmonious & Pasteltints) Arrtx Arteza Holbein Ohuhu Halawa Kalour Crayola Woomer …and more brands will continue to be added. The goal is simple: help colourists spend less time stressing over colours and more time enjoying their colouring pages. ✨ Try PaletteKit: www.palettekit.com There is a 7-day free trial, after which full access is $5 AUD per month, which is less than a cup of coffee at many cafés and less than many YouTube memberships or Patreon tiers. A limited free account is also available so you can explore the website before upgrading. In this video I introduce PaletteKit, a tool designed to help colourists create colour combinations, convert coloured pencils across brands, and organise their pencil collections.

If you’ve been wondering which coloured pencils work best in Kerby Rosanes colouring books, this video will help you decide. In this Pencil Showdown, I test 17 different coloured pencil brands on the same page using the same technique, so you can see how each one truly performs on Kerby Rosanes paper (UK edition). This includes Prismacolor, Polychromos, Black Widow, Luminance, Ohuhu Halawa, Arrtx, Castle Arts Soft Touch, Pablo, Woomer, Chromaflow, Arteza, Holbein, Staedtler Design Journey, Brutfuner Square, Kalour, Crayola and Brutfuner Round pencils. Each set is tested and scored across four key areas: Overall feel Colour payoff Layering Blending At the end, I share which coloured pencils performed best overall in Kerby Rosanes books, along with some great alternatives depending on your colouring style and coloured pencil collection. If you enjoy coloured pencil comparisons and testing different supplies in colouring books, let me know by leaving a ✏️ in the comments. I’d also love to know, what are your go-to pencils for Kerby Rosanes colouring books? And which colouring book would you like to see tested next? This video is part of my Pencil Showdown series, where I test coloured pencils across a range of colouring books and paper types to help you find what works best. -- 📝 My list of essential art supplies: https://www.mycolourfulcountrylife.com/post/essential-art-supplies-for-beginners-my-top-picks-for-sharpeners-papers-and-more -- 🛒 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 MYCOLOURFULCOUN • Cutebee - 10% off with MYCOLOURFULLIFE • Journalsay - 8% off with MYCOUNTRYLIFE --- 📝 NEW TO ADULT COLOURING?

In this Pencil Showdown, I test 14 different pencil brands on the same page using the same technique so you can see how each one truly performs on Johanna Basford paper (UK edition). I’ve included Prismacolor, Polychromos, Black Widow, Luminance, Ohuhu Halawa, Arrtx, Castle Arts Soft Touch, Pablo, Woomer, Chromaflow, Arteza, Holbein, Staedtler Design Journey and Brutfuner Round pencils. Each set is scored across four key areas: Overall feel Colour payoff Layering Blending At the end, I’ll share which pencils performed best overall, along with some great alternatives depending on your colouring style.
