Also…let’s practice blending those pencils with a brief lesson on Jennifer’s Rule of Blending Thirds.

    I love watching you colour anything, because it always turns out so beautiful. I just got a tiny set of alcohol markers and I'm colouring mandals with them. It is very relaxing, and I don't have to stress about blending or shading like I do in my other books. It would be so fantastic to win one of the prizes especially the set of Prismacolor, however I'm all the way from Australia, so I'm probably excluded. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and showing your new book. Very exciting! 💗

    Purple. My lifelong favorite color. When I was growing up, we often traveled by a house (could see it while we were passing by on the Garden State pkwy), that was top to bottom purple. Like ALL of it. Now this was in the 1970's, but I remember how excited I'd get and would get angrily told by my father to please STOP doing that, he's driving on a highway(!) 😬. But I would pop up and get SO exited, all I kept saying was "When I grow up, that's what I want MY house to look like!", but it would come out of nowhere and give him a heart attack every time 🤣. 51yo and it is STILL my only and all time favorite color (no purple house though, lol, YET 😜💜👍).

I know I can buy the book but I was hoping from the title of the video that you would talk about how to use ALL THREE TOOLS. Please do create a video that actually focuses on the usage of the big 3. As a new colourist I would appreciate seeing how the three different tools work before investing in all of them. Thank you. Hugs to Rose!

    The short answer is yes, the top layers are typically lighter. The long answer depends on where the light source is. If you need more help, we have 4 lessons in our Coloring Academy all about mapping out light source, shadows, and highlights.
