Hi Everyone,
If you have been watching my YouTube channel, you will know that I have been keeping myself very busy making lots of videos! I have been having so much fun with Johanna Basford’s Notes from Nature as well as Inklings.
I have finished Notes from Nature, and there is a video for each card, each with a different pencil set, which will be released through March. I have also been colouring a lot from Inklings. I have a playlist for each, you can find them here:
You might be interested to know that you can find my flip through of Inklings here – https://youtu.be/QcgbnFcHr74 and Notes from Nature here – https://youtu.be/-awyZhbZDfE. You may have also missed a couple of popular videos, as I have released so many! My completed book flip through of Wonderful Wildflowers is here – https://youtu.be/dNjfuVXD8b8 and my February completed pages is here – https://youtu.be/vKZhfl0WY1Y.
I thought you might be interested in some new releases that I have heard about. Firstly, Polychromos are adding 20 new colours to their range and it seems like these will be coming out in September. I have asked them for information but they are not allowed to release much yet. I will keep you posted. I do know is that there will be a tin of the additional colours and you will be able to buy them open stock and there will also be a 140 tin available.
Castle Arts have released a set of pencils called Spring. I do not know much, apart from the fact that you can buy them on US Amazon (https://amzn.to/46HAIPy) and UK Amazon (https://amzn.to/4d4pRD6) (links are my affiliate links) but not on their website yet. I have written to customer services with questions, all I know at the moment is that they are all new colours.
There have been a couple of new book releases you may be interested in. I am holding off buying new books at the moment but I thought you might be interested! Hanna Karlzon has a new book called Slottsruinen which is available on imusic – https://imusic.uk/books/9789181163841/hanna-karlzon-2026-berattelser-fraan-slottsruinen-hardcover-book the English language edition is due out in September.
Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou has a book out called Flower Fantasy and it is available from UK Amazon (https://amzn.to/4bwHnyw). It seems like US Amazon is behind and has just got her previous book – Dream Voyage (https://amzn.to/4berLhS)(my affiliate links). Maria Trolle has a new book – Det Magiska Biblioteket available to pre-order from imusic – https://imusic.uk/books/9789190117187/maria-trolle-2026-det-magiska-biblioteket-hardcover-book
Thank you all for support this month, I hope you are enjoying your colouring as much as I am.
Happy Colouring,
