Grayscale Coloring - Background Options: Pastel Chalk, Pan Pastels, Eye Shadow, Pebbles Chalk

In this video, I talk about different options that you can use when coloring backgrounds on grayscale coloring pages. I show what it looks like to use two very popular media choices on the background: colored pencil and markers. Then I talk about why I went searching for another technique to use. I show all the different products I purchased when I was developing my grayscale coloring books to use on backgrounds and what I liked and didn't like about each product. I highlight chalk pastels, pan pastels, eye shadow and Pebbles Chalk and color with each one on one of my grayscale images to show their effects.

I do what to mention that I was coloring very quickly to just simply show the effect on the coloring page. You can color more precisely with each option by going more slowly and choosing smaller applicators. I made a tutorial video showing how to actually color an image using Pebbles Chalk:    • Grayscale Coloring Tip - Chalk Pastel...  

I also wanted to mention that I encourage you to try all these products yourself and see what works best and is most fun for you! Media is a very personal choice and your preference may vary from mine. So please don't let my opinions stop you from trying or experimenting yourself. =)

Thanks so much for watching and I really hope you enjoy it and find it useful! =)
