Adult Colouring & Art

Today I’m joining in on a really fun tag video - If My Colouring Books Had Personalities! This tag takes a look at our colouring book collections in a completely different way… I’ve chosen one book for each personality and shared why it fits and along the way, I’ve matched them to a few fun book tropes as well. This was such a fun way to reflect on my collection, the books I reach for all the time, and the ones that have been quietly sitting on my shelf waiting to catch my attention. 💬 I’d love to hear from you - what book personalities are sitting on your shelves? If you enjoyed this video, leave a 📚 emoji in the comments so I know you made it to the end. JOIN THE TAG: If you’d like to complete this tag yourself, here’s the full list of personalities: The Stress Inducer The Dark & Moody The Paper Snob The Too Scared To Touch The Old Reliable The One Page Wonder The Secret Shame The Wishful Thinker The Honeymoon Phase The Midnight Snack The Seasonal Obsession FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out The Silent Viewer The Villain The Underdog The Identity Crisis The Nostalgic Elder The One That Got Away The Rebel Videos Mentioned Original tag creator: @ColorMama360 Tag video I saw FIRST: @jicolourist -- 📝NEW TO ADULT COLOURING?

Today I’m sharing a colouring haul with you all! This video includes a mix of new colouring supplies I’ve purchased, gifts from family, and some incredibly thoughtful happy mail from subscribers. These items arrived between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, so I thought it would be fun to sit down together and take a look through everything. In this haul we open and explore new coloured pencils, PanPastels, oil pastels, colouring books and more, including some books that have been on my wish list for quite a while. I’ll also be testing out some new supplies in upcoming videos, including the Caran d’Ache Pablo coloured pencils for my colour combination series and website, as well as experimenting with PanPastels for skin tones and backgrounds. A huge thank you again to the wonderful subscribers who sent happy mail - your kindness and generosity means so much and I’m incredibly grateful. Let me know in the comments what you would like to see first: • Colour alongs from any of these books • Testing the Pablo pencils • A skin tone tutorial using PanPastels • Trying PanPastels over coloured pencils inspired by Annie Reyes’ technique Thank you so much for watching and for being part of this amazing colouring community.

Derwent Inktense conversion charts are finally here. In this video I’m sharing my full Derwent Inktense 100 swatch sheet along with two brand conversion charts: • Derwent Inktense to Polychromos (71 matches) • Derwent Inktense to Prismacolor Premier (67 matches) If you’ve ever wondered how to convert Derwent Inktense to Polychromos or Prismacolor, how to substitute Inktense in a colour along, or how to layer coloured pencils over an Inktense base, this video will talk you through it step by step. These charts help you: ✔ Convert Derwent Inktense colours into Polychromos Pencils ✔ Convert Derwent Inktense colours into Prismacolor Pencils ✔ Substitute Inktense if you don’t own the set ✔ Create matching coloured pencil combinations by choosing shadow and highlight colours over Inktense bases ✔ Bridge Inktense to multiple other brands using my master conversion chart I matched colours activated. While paper type and layering will affect depth, these charts provide reliable colour family matches for layering and substitution. I also discuss the Derwent Inktense Outliner pencil - what it is, how it behaves with water, and whether colourists actually need it. If you're new to Inktense or would like a refresher before we begin the Inktense Colour Combination Series, I have a full Inktense for Beginners tutorial linked below. 📥 FREE DOWNLOADS Derwent Inktense 100 Swatch Sheet: https://ko-fi.com/s/945c034cd8 Derwent Inktense to Polychromos Conversion Chart: https://ko-fi.com/s/df79cf377c Derwent Inktense to Prismacolor Conversion Chart: https://ko-fi.com/s/9b836aeb2f 📚 Inktense for Beginners Tutorial https://youtu.be/fme5630wrn4 📊 Master Pencil Conversion Chart (for converting to other brands) https://youtu.be/6ASJ6JFb4nA This is the next instalment in my Colour Combination Series, and we’ll be creating Derwent Inktense colour combos very soon.
