Hi guys!
In this video, I’m sharing my top tips for creating beautiful backgrounds in colouring books using Caran d'Ache Neocolor II crayons! I will demonstrate how to blend, layer, and use water to achieve stunning gradients and vibrant effects that will make your pages pop. Whether you're new to Neocolor II or a seasoned colourist, these simple techniques will help you elevate your artwork and add depth to your designs. Perfect for colouring book enthusiasts looking to level up their background game!
These are the methods I use – there will be many more out there! But it works for me, so hopefully you will get some ideas. I am still a work in progress when it comes to backgrounds!! So here is how I do it!
Colours used for the background:
Night blue
Payne’s grey
Black
Indigo blue
Light cobalt blue
Turquoise blue
Dark Green
I hope you still find this video interesting. See you again soon!
Happy colouring…
