Rooms of Wonder MUSHROOM CAVE part 1 Johanna Basford | Faber Castell Albrecht Dürer & Neocolour ll

Today I am colouring in Rooms of Wonder by Johanna Basford, and I am going to get started on some base layers on the little Mushroom Cave.
For this picture I will be using a mix of Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer, Polychromos, and Caran D'ache Neocolour 2.
My little sample pack of Neocolour 2 literally arrived just as I sat down to get started on this page, so I decided to include them (instead of using just the Albrecht Dürer and Polychromos as I had originally planned).
I have seen so many gorgeous versions of this page, and I really wanted to make this page my own, so I'm bringing out my favourite earthy tones again, as well as experimenting with some water soluble mediums for our base layers.
Using Water soluble medium for your base layers will definitely help you speed up the colouring process. It completely covers the white tooth of the paper without flattening it, so you get a lovely base to then add your coloured pencils on top of, and removes the need of adding multiple layers of pencils to cover the tooth.
So in part 2 of this page, I will show you how to go about adding Polychromos pencils on top you these water soluble mediums.
