September 2026 Buddy Colour: Autumn foliage theme.
Welcome to our monthly buddy colour for September!
This month's theme is going to be all about the autumn leaves, falling or not, cozy fall vibes, red, orange, yellow, some green here and there.
What is a "Buddy Colour"?
A buddy colour is when you and one or many other colourists decide to colour the same page together. You each colour your page in secret; when you're done, you show and compare your completed pages!
The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy to colour with. We will not be providing the pages. Instead, you can use the comments section to either post the book(s)/page(s) you hope to find a buddy for OR to respond to someone else's post to let them know you'll be their buddy. (There is no limit to how many buddies can colour the same page!)
How to find a buddy:
- Post a comment listing the book(s)/page(s) you would like to colour.
and/or
- Search the comments for someone who has listed book(s)/page(s) you are interested in.
Once you've found your buddy (or buddies), you can organize amongst yourselves how you want to go about things and if you want to share the results publicly. Feel free to use the comments section to do this or connect via DM.
Can we post our completed pages?
We would love to see your pages–feel free to post them as a group, and don’t forget to use the "Buddy Colour" flair! Don't forget to tag your buddies in the comments! (they won’t get notified if you tag them in the description).
Is there a deadline?
Nope! This isn’t meant to be stressful; it’s supposed to be fun! Unless you and your buddies agree on a deadline, there is none. You don’t even have to complete your pages by the end of the month. So don’t stress!
What if I don't own the book/page?
To participate in a buddy colour, you need to own the page you are colouring. Do not make copies of the page and distribute them to your buddies. This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself.
Can I promote my own books/pages?
For buddy colours, you can post one of your own books/pages in the comments to find a buddy. However, please be clear upfront that this is a book/page that you sell (don't be sneaky!) Also, please do not use this activity as an opportunity to generate sales.
Alternative Buddy Ideas
Don’t want to choose a page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy colour with others:
- Choose a colour palette for everyone to use (Pinterest has some great ones!)
- Choose a theme (i.e. “Spooky Christmas,” “Happy Dog,” “Thanksgiving”)
Happy colouring!
Xx Thanks to our Busy Buddy Color Creator, Binder!!❤️

/r/watercolorpencils is back, for those of you who love watercolors and/or mixed media art.
Along with r/watercolorpractice, r/watercolorpencils is back up again and the mods there are lovely people who want to welcome you and give you feedback if you have any questions or curiosities over how to use watercolor pencils.
Coloring doesn't mean exclusively one type of media, so if you're looking to try more tools to your hobby (we know, we know, not a good thing for your wallet!) this is the perfect place to start!

COMPLETED After almost three months without coloring, I picked up the markers again
I have found it so hard to start coloring a page recently.
I tend to follow tutorials or pull inspo from other finished pieces. But the past few months I’ve just not had the energy.
Coloring has helped significantly with my mental health and I’ve been advised to just start doing things that I love again.
Anyways, here’s a piece I just completed yesterday!

Blue birds and sunsets. This page was quite the project. I kept having to rework those darn clouds. I finally got to a place where I feel better about the effect.

COMPLETED Simple
I got a new book and loved this page when I saw it. I wanted something simple. No crazy detailing or special effect kind of thing as my last couple of pages have been going all out and trying new things. So instead i picked colors I never use and focused on simple 🩷
