(MENAFNEditorial) The 6 Essential Supplies for New Users of Adult Coloring Books
A basic guide on how to get started with adult coloring tools SEDONA AZ USA March 2 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Coloring during childhood seemed to be all about crayons but with the continued growth in the popularity of adult coloring the choice of tools for the reborn colorist can be overwhelming. There are new adult coloring books coming to the market every day but what are the essential media to go with them?
''Many artists have hundreds of coloring tools but I am often asked by those new to coloring where they should start with filling their tool boxes'' said Alice Raven of Colorfest Crafts. These are her top 6 recommendations.
Colored Pencils
Firstly nobody should be without a set of colored pencils. Find a set with a good range of rainbow colors that are smooth and easy to apply without too much pressure. They should be easy to grip such as a hexagonal shape rather than a round one.
Watercolor Pencils
These can be used dry like regular colored pencils but there is also the added advantage of being able to add water. Some apply water to the pencil and others prefer to add it to the paper. It takes some practice but they can be used to produce some lovely watercolor effects.
Markers & Pens
These have been around for some time and the benefit is that they are affordable easy to use and need very little pressure on the page. The only drawback can be that they may bleed through paper if it is not of a good quality.
Gel pens
These are the fun guys. They are great for detail and add vibrant colors with shine and sparkle.

Sharpener
A good quality basic sharpener. It does not need to be expensive.
Pencil Extender
This is a great tool to extend the life of your colored pencils when they are getting short.
