Attachment 95145 Attachment 95146
I've got polychromos, f&c pastel pencils, derwent watercolours, d&r artist grade watercolours, chromo acrylics, sakuras, marvys plus lots of different cheaper brand paints, felts, pencils etc. I've got cheap & expensive stumps, sable brushes, artificial brushes, koi's etc...
and I still cant colour in :lol:
I do like my polychromos but I think that it's purely because there are so many different colours. I find it easier to shade with watercolours tho. My thoughts on what to buy are, buy the best you can afford but if like me you're naff at colouring you wont notice a great improvement no matter how much you spend. :(
thank you for your lovely comment dawn and Kim. Lovely cards maddie. This one is watercoloured and you can see the depth that is missing. Its harder to achieve the depth.

playingwithpaper I am sure you are just being harsh on yourself.
I would have to agree though buy the best you can as it does make a huge difference and sometimes you spend as much getting a set of this then that without achieving the results you would like.
I visited a lady a few yrs ago after she stated she would like to be able to colour like me and would never be able to in a milion years. After a couple of hrs she was getting the same results as me she was just trying to use to much colour at one time.
how much are the prisma ones please
I am using watercolour pencils and liked the results but now I have seen the prisma ones OMG they are fab
Wil take a pic of one of my cards later so you can see what I mean
No idea how to do the shading either :o
Bryn can you post 2 cards side by side for effect please,if you can.
Would love to see.
I think Jakkis 2nd post the colouring still looked fine.
They've arrived .................... yep my order from a sponsor which I placed on Wednesday has arrived ............. have got the kitchen bench and the grass so I can build up pictures now!!!! Have also just ordered prismas and all the other bits so that I can have a go (if they are here by the crop Kirsty we can have a play!!)
Lovely cards Amanda and Angeljakki, wasn't sure how to use the horse either so didn't buy it but love what you've done with it.
i have polychromos and have just got some prismas. must say that the prismas in my opinion are better as the colour is more intense and vibrant. also better choice of colours 120 prismas and 72 polychromos.
angeljakki - love the tilda with the umberella, not seen that one before. great card
Yep was me... I have the derwent pastels and prismacolour pencils, and I actually prefer the pastels... but I guess that is a personal choice. I colour both in with paper stumps and sansador tho.
Here are a couple of thumbnails, the first using pastel pencils, the second using prismacolour pencils.
angeljakki, not being harsh, just realistic :lol: it's why I only do whitework parchment these days. Give me a blade or parch tool and I can hold my own with most but add colour in to it and I'm pretty poor. Love your card btw, I've been hesitating over the the horse but he might just jump into my shopping basket now ;)Quote:

Jakki - I adore that card with the horse!!! I have the horse stamp - put away as a mothers day gift and not allowed to open it before! (BAH!!) Now i desperately need a "little person" with her hand out so I can do what you have done - that looks fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
