Hey I'm Amie and I was a pencil artist based in New Zealand till a flare up of my autoimmune inflammatory arthritis (called ankylosing spondylitis) caused some permanent damage to my hands. I now colour in adult colouring books as I rebuild up strength and skills. I hope you enjoy my videos.

Beautiful pages as always! I love your doll page in the Rita Berman book. So cute! Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed that spread. Its so bright and colourful! Thank you for watching <3
the background on that aviary page is gorgeous!!! so vibrant
Thank you! That's good ole distress ink. I was going to do a soft yellow and greens but turned out my yellow distress ink was dry so I changed plans, but I don't mind where it ended up! Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow
I envy you, I got like 140 Wips, but I am also trying hard to cut it down. Curious to see you working on some of yours, especially the ones that need a bit of work, as I got some similar "distasters" that could do with some fixing and so it probably will be helpful and certainly inspirational to see you try and work some of those pages over.
140 is a lot, but I know you can do it! It takes time but its definitely nice to clear them out. The disaster ones are going to be interesting, but I'm determined to figure something out. Little bit at a time, even get some off the list is better than none.
Amazing pages ❤️
Thanks so much! Glad you like them!
Lovely pages as always Amie! Do you have a tutorial video on animal fur? Your cats in Nelco Neco look AMAZING!
Not a sit down formal tutorial, but I coloured that page live so you can definitely watch how I do fur in those. Mostly it's working with sharp pencils and doing lots of lil lines in the direction of the fur.
Thanks for sharing! AMAZING as always!! Love your glittery nails too 🥰
Thank you! I do love a good glitter polish hehe. Sadly my blue and black of the range is completely used up so ill need to find it again (it's a super cheap one but it works really well) but I have them in enough colours to tie me over
@@AmieWardArt amazing!
Hi Amie! All of Your Finished Pictures are Absolutely Beautiful! I love the picture in the Rita Berman Asien. Have a Wonderful Day 💜
Thank you so much! I do love how it came together, the kokeshi fruit dolls is definitely a fav for sure
Thank you for sharing your mixed media coloring book. I have been thinking of doing the same and was delighted to see yours and how you’ve truly transformed it. Very inspiring! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Its such a fun project and I can't wait to get back to it!
Wow, wow wow I really mean it WOW!!!!!❤❤
Thank you ❤❤
These pages are just beautiful.
Thank you so much, I do love this spread
Have had my 2 grandkids all week, so busy keeping them entertained. Lots of coloring, playing games and of course, pool time. They go home today and 2 of the cats can’t wait as they are fed up with hiding in the basement. They come up after kiddos are asleep. It’s been a great 2 weeks with them as we were together at Sundance and they came home with me. Phoebe is 8 and Phineas is 6.
Sounds like an amazing byt very busy weekend!
This was really fun Amy! Thank you for sharing with us! It was fun to see your favorites and they were all gorgeous! Sending positive vibes and smiles your way friend!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you like the pages and thank you for the positive vibes
You have some amazing pages completed 🫶🏻👋🏻🇨🇦
Thank you so much <3
I get stressd because i want to color morebut feel i have to do art projects that i can sell instead.
I feel that. there is always something else I "should" be doing, but I remind myself colouring is my mental wellness activity, and that is also a productive and important task to do as well. There shouldn't be any pressure with art. I hope you find the time you need guilt free to colour
Im glad to hear you are doing well. It's always good to take a break and to take care of your mental health. You always produce such unique and beautiful work! I can't wait to see your finished mythomorphia book one day. Thank you for sharing 🩷
Mental health will always be my focus, it's why I can be a bit irregular with posting esp around these months (yay winter SAD). Thank you so much for watching, Mythomorphia is definitely on the home stretch and I just need to buckle down on it. I can see the end though!
Lindíssimos. Show. Obrigada.
Kia ora amie! What you said at the beginning of the video is so important - we need to put our mental health first! I often have to remind myself that if i get stressed colouring i need to remind myself that this is my hobby and I do what brings me joy! It's hard for us on social media as we want to share everything and don't want to let anyone down but our mental health and enjoyment is the most important thing and no one wants us to force ourselves to create content when we're not feeling it! 💞 So glad you picked our fox buddy colour page as one of your favourites - I just love it 😍😍😍 thank you so much for your lovely words about my channel - it rwally made me smile 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Excatly! Its so easy to compare/get overwhelmed by social media, which I am very aware of and why I know I need to step away often and encourage others if they feel it too. its super duper important. And OF COURSE I had to choose our fox pages. they are so good. I still love yours oh so much
I so LOVED this video so much
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching
Little did amie know all that yarn will turn into colouring books instead 😂😂😂😂😂
Amie still has all the yarn too LOL I may hoard art supplies
I’m glad you got it! 🥰❤️ I love this page In Aisen!
Thank you again, I LOVE the book and what I've coloured in it!
Love your completed pages!
Thank you so much, appreciate it!
I absolutely love the Day at the Aquarium Giant Coloring Poster by Crocodile Creek. I put all of them in my Amazon wishlist. I also subscribed to @SophieColours because I love the Horror coloring books. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you found some new finds! May it bring you much joy <3
I don't play the game but really like the book. Definitely will buy. Thanks for the flip thru!!
Hello Amie. I am Wanda from Atlanta, Georgia. Just found your channel today. I was looking for a flip through of this book. I purchased it because a KZread channel I follow colored a page in this book. It was absolutely adorable. Although she didn't do a flip through, I still bought it. 😂 You are right, it is expensive. And the shipping costs are crazy to the USA. I believe it will be worth it. Thank you for showing the book in such great detail. Really enjoyed this video. God bless you.
Amie, I hope you feel better soon. Your colouring is amazing ❤
Nice Pages, but one ? Why dont you copy the page from Selenas book and color it that way? Thats what i do when its annoying with the paper ( yeah Selena Fenech is one of the worst i have workes in, and Zenmaster Coloring books are even worse)
Its a logical option, but I begrudge having to copy it (paying for paper and the copying/printing) when I have a book with it already. As I said, I also already have the greyscale version without the paper issue so I'd rather work in that then pay for essentially a third copy of the book. I still have some play options, and I know pencils on their own will work on the paper, but I also know me and how I like to work so basing mediums are important. I'll keep trying, but I'm also prepared to write the book off. I have several places I can donate it so it wont go to waste at all
Great happy mail..enjoy your new goodies 😊
I have the same issue with all 3 of my Selina Fenech books. I hate the paper! I have other Amazon paper coloring books that do not give me no where near the issues I have with her's. I do not understand it. Great pages!
Yeah its certainly a challenge for sure! I am determined to find a way to figure it out though
I loveeeee all your pages this month, your hard work is beautiful! it’s just amazing seeing everyone’s art! But also seeing my own featured is so wonderful! I’m so happy to be friends with all of you!
16:20 what combo did you use for that bright and bold red? 😍😍 and again you have fantastic pages 🎉🎉
I didn't write down the excat combo sorry, but it was based with a bright red alcohol marker, and then I used walnut brown and deep reds for shadows, and a bit of orangea and yellowa for highlights to create dimension. I just made sure that my highlight tones where warm bright undertones, and the shadows were cooler tones to help keep that red vibrant. Hope that helps
Wow! You did so many gorgeous pages! I believe Mariola bludek does have some books available for purchase on her Etsy shop I’m unsure if they are mermaid books though. Your mermaids by her however are absolutely stunning! I absolutely adore your mystic art page! She is so stunning! Of course your alien world’s page is out of this world!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Yeah I did notice her hair collection ones I think? They look stunning either way. May treat myself one day...when I win the lotto hahaha
Wow so many beautiful pages and so many merms!!! 😍😍 I love what you said about using water based markers in the Disney stained glass book - sometimes you just need to scribble colour on a page to clear your mind and that’s just as important as the more complicated pencil colourings 💕💕 I have so many favourites!!! I love the dream weaver mermaid, mythic world mermaid(I completely ran out of time to finish her off but everyone’s were absolutely stunning 😍😍), the boules de poils pages - especially the witchy cat that made me say wow out loud 😂 and of course I adore the forest intelligence 😍😍
I'm so glad that the comment resonated with you. I think we get a bit overwhelmed at times seeing all these beautiful perfect pages and thinking our work needs to be that all the time - but its about the process and what it does for us. Colouring is for me a mental wellness activity, and sometimes that means grabbing water based markers and just scribbling to achieve what I need. It's easy to forget that at times. Hopefully you'll get back to the mythic world merm soon! Completely understandable you ran out of time, I saw you had a big month as well! Thank you so much for watching <3
@@AmieWardArt definitely!!! I often get very tired around the late afternoon before dinner and recently I've been doing marker colouring in my Disney colour by number books instead of going and having a nap and I've been feeling so much better for it!! 💞
@colouringbumblebee love that! Such a good idea
Absolutely loving your channel...fantastic finishes 😊
Wow! Love them all ❤❤❤ great work - you got so much done this month! So pleased you got a page done in the beauty of horror book too!❤❤❤
Thank you for inspiring me to finally get started in the book! I don't think it would get into it without it <3
Not to be mean, but yeah I would have unhaul those books too lol
Here I am! Tucked in with din din and a coloring book. Bring it on beautiful!!
Heck yes! Enjoy, may it entertain you for the evening!

Loving your streams, I like to watch back ias I love watching when I'm colouring and it's like I'm colouring with a friend ❤️ I love my Pablo's in Lulu mayo books, match made in heaven especially with the brighter colour palette xxxx
I'm so glad, I love to do the same thing so I am glad you enjoy it! I'll have to try the pablos in a Lulu Mayo, it does seem like a match made in heaven!
i love this 💀 it makes me want to make a coloring journal lol
Thank you! I find it very useful and also satisfying when I colour in a new book and I like stats and data a lot. But the biggest thing is just find what works for you <3
Wow. Stunning.
Thank you so much!
@AmieWardArt like never have I subscribed so fast, and then realized that you have nowhere near the amount of subscribers as you should, you are SO talented! Like, seriously.
