- In today's video I go into more detail about how I create backgrounds and the types of paper best suited for using Neocolor II's. I've had a few requests and questions on this topic, so I created a video that will hopefully be helpful!
Let me know if you have any questions! I'd be happy to help!
Here's a quick short on how I save my Neo II shavings...

Hi Folks! I just wanted to add a note to the part where I discussed Neo II's on Kerby Rosanes books...I think they work ok, you just have to add multiple layers and do a little more work, is all. 😉
What a beautifully detailed tutorial. Thank you!
Nice demonstration with Neocolor ii’s. I have a set and get frustrated with them, but now that I see how you work them Im ready to try again.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, this is such a great tutorial. I love how you showed the whole process, and how you explained it step by step. It's perfect timing for me. I'm getting ready to start a page in Hanna Karlzon's Daydreams book, and I want to try using the Neocolors for the first time as background. Love your channel. I have learned so much from you!🥰💖🧡💚💙💜
Aww thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback! it’s nice to know that the content I am putting out there is helpful! ☺️ hope this helps with your upcoming project! If you post it on Instagram tag me so I can see it! Happy coloring!😁🖍️
Hi, I just watched your video and when you shared your inspiration picture I thought: wow, that looks very similar to mine…
It really took me a moment to realize that it WAS actually my coloring 😂
I‘m happy it has inspired you and I‘m proud to be featured in your video! 😁
Oh wow! It’s a great page! You did a wonderful job!! Are you on Instagram? I can’t remember if I follow you or not. I can put a link to your Instagram page, if you’d like in the video description. 😁
I love the way you are fading the music in and out of the tutorial. The verbiage, however, is most important to help us understand what you are doing. The explanations are so, so helpful. You have found a great blend of music and information. Thank you for sharing your talents with us
Oh thanks for the lovely feedback, Billie! I really appreciate it!
Thanks ,very helpful
Wonderful! Thanks for watching!! 😊

You are so welcome! 🤗
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! 😊
I loved this tutiriol! Was a really good video!
Thank you so much! Glad it was as helpful!! 😊👍
This is fantastic , Thank you for the detailed video ,
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!
I love this demo! I, too, am afraid of my Neo IIs. Do you always color background first? I think that’s one of the my struggles. I always just dive into the image first.
Most of the time I do the backgrounds first. But it’s definitely personal preference. One thing about doing the background first is if you need to iron the page, like if you are using watercolors and sometimes with Neo II’S, you might need to iron the page and it’s best to do that before you get the pencil work and all of the accent mediums laid down. 😊
Excellent demo!
Thanks so much, Nadine!! I hope it was helpful! ☺️
Hi Jen great information ❤ I’m still struggling with back grounds they just aren’t my favorite things to do 😂 but I’m playing with them more and more 😂❤
Hi Jackie! 👋 Thanks for the feedback! I always get nervous about making these types of videos. Everybody has their opinions and of course, mine are just mine. But I get a lot of questions on this topic so, I thought it would be good to do a video. Just keep practicing! 😊👍
@@jenscoloringcorner you do such a beautiful job with your back grounds we all need a refresher course on these kinds of back grounds I learn something new every time I watch you use your Neo 2s I got the big set of them from a friend for my birthday and I’m loving the colors they are truly my best friend ! ❤️
They are great! Glad you are enjoying them!! 👍
Oh my goodness, Jen! This tutorial is amazing! I love my neo ii's but have struggled with them a bit, and now I can't wait to try your techniques. I think I've been over-blending and also over-watering the page for sure. Oof! I appreciate you taking the time to make this video for us. 💖💖💖
You are so welcome! Happy to help!! 😊🖍️
Jen thank you so much for this video!!! I have been using mine in Millie Marotta’s books, the Eriy books and as you said in both Hannah Karlzon and Marie Trolle books! I love your backgrounds and have used your techniques a good deal!!! Thank you!
Oh wonderful!! So happy to help!! Thanks for the feedback!! 🤗💕
Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to give them a go again and see if I can work them better than in the past. It's been awhile since I have pulled them out, we'll see how it goes. Lol😄 Happy Sunday! 💖
It just takes a bit of practice! 😊👍🖍️
Really good video! ❤❤ I love them for backgrounds. I’ve never tried clouds so appreciate your tutorial. I also really like how if you accidentally get color in a place you don’t want in a Hana Karlzon book you can lift up the color with the water brush. Versus the Kerby books where the color is soaking in more.
Right!!?? I’m glad it’s not just me noticing that!! Glad you liked the video!! 😊👍
Beautiful video hun thank you for the tips I have all the Neo colours 2 I’m to scared to use them since watching your video it’s helped alot.. thank you ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx
Oh wonderful, Kylie!! Don't be scared. You can always practice them a bit on a piece of card stock. They may not act the same as on the paper in an H.K. book, but at least you can get a better feel for them and become more familiar with them before going straight to a coloring page. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions along the way!! Happy coloring!🖍☺
If you are using two layers of ModPoge you won’t have any problems of using Neocolor II or any watercolor mediums! 😊
👍😊
I learned so much from this tutorial. I just own a set of 10 neocolonr iis. I have struggled when trying to use them. Mostly I have tried to use them on Amazon paper. Yesterday I tried to do a background in a Lulu Mayo page. I realize now that the color was soaking into the page and the color would not move well. I have been debating buying a larger set of neolocolor iis, but have been afraid to do so. I now think it might be a good idea. I can always print a picture that is on a lesser quality paper onto a mixed media paper, a watercolor paper or a Bristol paper. Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial!😊
Oh so glad to help!! I love hearing that people are learning from my videos!! Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback!! Happy coloring!!! 🖍️😊
Thank you so much for this video. It's very timely. I've started working on doing backgrounds with my Neo Color 2s. The first one I've done is in Midnight Masquerade by Hanna Karlson. I did the title page. I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but I'm going to keep going. Even if I have to color every title page and every nameplate page in all my Hanna Karlson and Marie Trolle Books. Thank you so much for your tips. 😊💜
Glad it was helpful! It just takes practice! 😁
BTW, I hope you are completing this page online. I love this picture and would really enjoy seeing how you finish it.@@jenscoloringcorner
Thank you
My pleasure! 😀
Thank you so much !!!
You’re so welcome!! 😉
Great video, quite timely for me, thanks so much!! I'd like to know about the paper in Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou's books, Circle of Life, Enchanted Earth, or Nature Mandalas, have you used Neo IIs in any of those? TIA💕 I, too, would like to see you finish this page especially using your pencils for the fine-tuning part and coloring the kitties.
Hi there! Glad you liked the video! I have not tried Neo II in any of those books, but other artists may have. So I am not sure how they perform in those books. I will make sure to finish the kitty page in a video probably next month. Thanks for watching!😊
This is fantastic. Thank you for the detailed video. Part of my problem with these is coming up with color combinations. I would love to see someone do a series showing different color combos. Also, how do they work on Lulu Mayo books, or have you tried them?
Glad it was helpful! I have not tried them in those books, I just don’t have any. So sorry, I can’t be of help with that. But that’s a great idea about doing a color combo video or series! 😁👍
Thank you so much- I’ve owned these crayons for 6 months and have been afraid of them!!!!😅
Oh break those things out!!! Don’t be afraid!! You got this! 👍😁
Thanks so much for this video. I just wanted to say that with my Hannah Karlzon Books and Kerby's Books I find the opposite happens. If I use wet mediums in Hannah's books it pills up the paper something dreadful and you can't rescue it with pencils at all and yet with Kerby's I can use any wet medium I want and it turns out perfect. I've also tried both methods of applying water and different sizes and makes of water brush and it still doesn't work in the Hannah Karlzon books. I am convinced it's the quality of the paper and has something to do with either the batch of books printed at the time or wherever country they are purchased from. Either way you do an awesome job with every video and page you produce. Tfs xo
Thanks, Elizabeth! Yeah, I’m sure it definitely varies depending on the particular printing company, and/or batch. It’s too bad they aren’t more uniform across the world.😞
Hi Jen~ please if you are able, demonstrate how to use distress inks~ thank you!
Hi Nancy… This video has a demonstration at the end. 😊
Thanks for you video. Question: could you tell me what you put in the Pinterest search engine to find your reference picture for your background. Sometimes I have a hard time finding a reference picture for ideas.
Sure! Most of the time I will just type in Hannah Karlzon (or whatever the artists name is) and then the name of the book. So like for this one, I think I typed in Hannah Karlzon Seasons. Hope that helps! 😊
Thank you for the tutorial….this helps a lot….how do the Neo Colors work in Johanna Basford books?
Thanks, glad it’s helpful! I have not tried them in Johanna Basford books. I haven’t colored in one of those in quite some time.😊
so nice ❤😍👍 new friend
Thank you!! 😊
What about the Klara Markova books
Oh yeah! I think they do well in those books, they have that really nice smooth paper. 😊🖍️
Thank you, I needed this. However, in spite of buying a number of waterbrushes I have found them impossible to control. They seem to leak water even when I don’t add pressure whether they are cheap brands or expensive.
Glad to help! Maybe just use regular water color paint brushes in various sizes. You can use a cloth to dab off excess water as your water control. 😊
By far the best waterbrush I have ever used (and I have tried 90% of them) is the Derwent push button. They aren't cheap but have the best water control, and the small is just the right size to get into details.
Can you tell me the sharpener you use for your neo’s? I’d like to use apply them directly to the page like you do but my tip is too blunt. Thank you for your great videos!
Thanks!!! This is the sharpener I use...amzn.to/4bR9wPe
You can also dip a paintbrush in water and take color from the crayon to the brush and paint finer details.
@@valerieschoolcraft5084 Oh, yes! I do that all of the time! I did show that in this video at 31:19 time stamp. ☺👍
Hi Jen how you doing
Hi Dawn!! I'm doing great! How are you?
