This video and technique is a preview from our brand new Adventure Awaits Colouring Class, which is our March 2021 colouring project. If you’d like to colour this one up with me, you can find the full class over at https://www.kitandclowder.com. We break down all of the very basics just like this video, so it is a great lesson for beginners, plus you get lifetime access to work on it at your own pace.

Are you already a class member? Consider starting your class here! Breaking classes down into just a small goal like this is a great way to start if you are nervous or timepoor. A small sitting of colouring is enough to take a good mindful break for self-care, and helps a larger task seem a lot less overwhelming.
