Thank you, Skillshare!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my channel, my name is Rachel. If you’re new here, PencilStash is a resource for learning all about the world of adult coloring. We do coloring tutorials, colored pencil and other medium technique demonstrations, and inspirational ideas, so.. if that is interesting to you, please consider hitting that like button, subscribing, and checking out the back catalog of videos for other things you may be interested in seeing.

Now, today, we are going to start with the basics… and this video is really for all those folks out there that are maybe just discovering adult coloring and either aren’t sure where to start or maybe you’ve been coloring for a while but want to up your skills a little bit – this video is a great place to start and my back-catalog is a great place to dig in to dive even deeper.

And just a caveat… I am not an expert. I’m just someone who has been using colored pencils and coloring for a long time and am just sharing my knowledge and experience, as I have lived it. There’s obviously lots of artistic style and opinion and options out there. This one is mine.

As a 49 yrs old man who needed a hobby so bad this just hit different. I can color and just zone out on music or a movie in the back ground. Ty for your vid.

Glad to see you back have missed your tutorials which are very informative

I'm so happy I found your videos! My husband is an artist. It just comes naturally to him. Me, not so much LOL! But one thing I do enjoy is coloring in these adult coloring books. I have about 50 of them, well over 1000 color pencils and markers and I still color like I am a beginner. (I've been coloring in these coloring books for at least 10 years) I wanted to go to the next level but didn't know how. Watching this video shows me that you are the missing link in getting my pages to pop! Thank you so much!

Hello Rachel! This was a rather enjoyable video! You gave some really nice suggestions about coloring books. Keep up the good work!

[karinswartz]

Thank you! So glad that I clicked on your tutorial today. I have a couple of books and some pencils, but just couldn't pull the trigger to get started. I am ready now because I found a coach and a shoulder to lean on. Wow, in one tutorial, I learned so many possibilities. You are a fantastic instructor. I look forward to beginning this journey with you by my side!

That Sarah, Renee Clark one is absolutely amazing. You could also get the colour catalogue that goes with it where she has all these swatches and then she tells you what pencil brand goes with it. She’s got prisma color, intense, and a couple more. So you bye the companion book and she does all the work for you, so you don’t even have to guess which colour is the closest. She does it all for you. She’s also adding more now that she’ll be sending out free to people. Who are you on the companion who
