Hello People of the Internet!

This channel is me, sharing my artful journey...and that journey includes the testing of art supplies, learning what art supplies work best in adult colouring books and letting those go that no longer serve me!

I began making videos for t’internet in about 2006, when I was part of an online Art Journaling community, I then started Art Journey on YouTube in 2008.

In February 2018 I took a break from YouTube until October 2020. When, after an intensively busy time at work, I rediscovered adult colouring and the whole new colouring community on YouTube... so I dusted off my pens and pencils to try and help me unwind after a stressful day.

Adult Colouring for me is not about perfection or the pressure to be as good as someone else, we are all unique and so are the creations we make! For me it's all about the process; playing with pens and pencils, the relaxation it brings and sharing that with like-minded colourists... finding joy in the journey.

So this has been my WFH office for the last 3 days, as we're staying in Norfolk at the moment to help my brother move to the area. Robbie has been helping by checking out the coastal erosion.

There is a video scheduled for tomorrow (at 7am, as usual) but it's relatively short and just a quick room update that I filmed a few weeks ago now.

Lots more content planned for when I return, but I'm here a few more days yet!

Finally finished the Smurf page that I started colouring in the Acrylic Gel Pen comparison video from a few weeks back (https://youtu.be/T-Jj_KvxIDw)

Enjoyed it!

I'm so excited for this new Asterix The Gaul Mystery Colouring book from Hatchette Hero coming out on 16th September (perfect timing for my birthday too!). I used to read the Asterix books as a kid (the French ones!) and loved the cartoon too!

I have it pre-ordered from Lireka (www.lireka.com/fr/pp/9782017356219-coloriages-myst…)

It's July 31st! Which means tomorrow is August (already? how? 😅) and I said I'd be back in August...

And so...I will be...Yay! 🥳✨️🎊🎉

I recorded (finally!) my Acrylic Brush Marker comparison over a few days and didn't realise that the recordings would total over 2.5 hours 🫢🫣

I've therefore split the edit into two videos; one which will go live tomorrow and the other on Sunday (usual time for the early birds 😊)

Together, the two videos make a comprehensive review of all the markers, especially for adult colouring peeps ☺️

Decided to colour this picture from Tiny Tales 3 by @rjhampson ... I've clearly been influenced by the amount of football hubs has been watching ...and of course, perfect timing for England's World Cup debut tonight!

Just a quick message to say that I found an (almost edited) pen review video on my PC last week, so I have scheduled that to go up this weekend and I also recorded a haul video which will go live next weekend... so there is still a little bit of content coming out while I'm away.

(Had to use this image from YumYum Kingdom to represent me and Robbie waving from our holiday 🥰😅 )
