Fan Favorites Coloring Book Find out more: https://rjhampson.com/pages/fan-favor... 🧜‍♀️ It's the first color along from the new book - and of course it had to be a "I Met a Mermaid' for Mermay! 🏴‍☠️ It's a heartwarming tale, and the original sheet came with a little poem "A pirates life is not for me, I met a mermaid in the sea. Now my thieving days are done, I'm off to have a lot more fun." 🌸 So with such a happy tale of love reforming the hardest of hearts, I chose a vibrant and happy color palette. The romance so affected me, I even used my Gelly Rolls to add some extra sparkle to the mermaid fins. And I'm thinking that with all that treasure to hand, they will also live happily ever after - it almost brings a tear to the eye. I had a lot of positive feedback on having a quick overview at the start so I've done it again followed by the very peaceful and relaxing real time color along. 🧩 Chapters 00:00 Welcome & Introduction 00:05 Quick Overview 01:05 Starting with the Sea 19:53 The Mermaid, the Pirate & the Treasure 46:13 Orange Crab, Fish & Sunset 47:55 Details 53:45 White Gelly Roll higlights 57:08 Shadows 59:10 More Gelly Roll Highlights 1:00:32 Wrap Up 🎨 Materials Ohuhu Honululu Plus BG21 Mint Wisp, BG 310 Seafoam Green, G210 Sea Green, YG07 Honeydew Melon, E05 Pale Moss, YR03 Pastel Blush, R15 Lychee Juice, YR 57 Tropical Peach, YR34 Peach Cream, Y03 Pastel Yellow, YR19 Marigold Orange, V34 Periwinkle, BV26 Pale Blue Violet, BGY24 Storm Grey, YG414 Dark Fern Green, RV 316 Grape Jelly, R410 Raspberry, YR 314 Sandalwood, E47 Camel, Y19 Canary, BGY00 Cashmere Grey Ohuhu Oahu E195 Shell White (E13 Limestone), V890 Pale Hibiscus (V12 Dusty Orchid) Faber Castell Polychromos 170 May Green, 161 Phthalo Green, 162 Light Phthalo Green, 264 Dark Phthalo Green, 103 Ivory, 119 Light Magenta, 110 Phthalo Blue, 117 Light Cadmium Red, 194 Red Violet, 182 Brown Ochre, 268 Green Gold Gelly Roll White 10, Purple Star, Clear Star -------- 🐿️ 'Fan Favorites' has 25 illustrations: 📖 Paperback - 25 x 2 Illustrations (with Duplicates with a Difference!): https://getbook.at/fan-favorites 🦉Hardcover - 25 illustrations on 70 Pound (105gsm) Paper: https://getbook.at/fan-favoriteshc 💻 Digital PDF Pack (Color Digitally or Use Your Preferred Paper): https://rjhampson.com/products/fan-fa...
