My perfect coloring book
Most adult coloring books don't appeal to me because of all the fine tiny details but kids coloring books get boring after a while. This is a really happy medium. There are some images with lots of detail and some images that are simpler. The images a mostly flowers or floral abstract which are my favorite. The images are one sided and the paper while not the thickest in the world does not bleed through when using gel pens. The paper is smooth and bright white. One thing that might peeve some people is that the image goes over the perforation into the binding so it's harder to colour and if you really plan to tear apart your book you will leave a bit of the image behind, since I have no desire to tear up my book this doesn't bother me in the leas.
Misleading product description
Very disappointed in the false advertisement of this coloring book. All adult coloring books that I have seen are only printed on one side of the page. Therefore, when the description says 64 pages I expected 64 illustrations. This book only has 32.
Frustration-free coloring: realism not needed, all you do is color!
I’m new to the world of adult coloring books and I have four of them. ‘Home Sweet Home’ by Creative Haven (the picture is on one side and the pages are perforated) was my first book and at the beginning I was a very enthusiastic colorist, but my interest waned as my coloring skills are very amateurish so the pictures I colored also look very amateurish. I used Prismacolor Scholar coloring pencils. Then I purchased ‘In the Garden Color & Frame’ (the print is on one side of the page and is also perforated, but the perforation goes through the edge of the picture) together with ‘The World’s Best Mandala Coloring Book’ (the print is on one side but the pages are not perforated). I continued using Prismacolor Scholar coloring pencils but I decided to buy and use alcohol markers and metallic markers. The latest book I purchased is ‘A Million Sloths’ by Lulu Mayo. The print is on both sides of the page and the pages are not perforated. The pictures are cartoonish and so cute. Perfect for my coloring skills, but I won’t be able to use alcohol markers in the book otherwise the ink will go through the page and ruin the picture on the other side. My two favorite books are ‘In the Garden Color & Frame’ and ‘The World’s Best Mandala Coloring Book’ because the prints are on one side of the page; the books will fire your imagination and test your color combination skills, and not your ability to produce realistic pictures (which I can’t produce anyway). Also I really enjoy using a combination of alcohol markers, metallic markers, and coloring pencils all on the same picture. To protect the next print place a piece of card or poster board underneath the page you are coloring. I also purchased a Canson Mix Media sketch book to practice coloring and drawing techniques using coloring pencils and alcohol makers by following free online tutorials. If I had to choose one book as my favorite it would be ‘In the Garden Color & Frame’, because I will not be skipping any of the pictures. ‘The World’s Best Mandala Coloring Book’ has some pictures where the patterns are too intricate for me and at the moment I am skipping those prints. However, I’m thinking I might use a ruler and divide up the picture and color the divided sections with solid color (alcohol markers are great at coloring large sections), and then use coloring pencils and metallic markers to add detail. In the end ‘In the Garden Color & Frame’ does not have any frustration-inducing prints for me to color or irritate me.
paper quality is different
Used to be a quality book. The paper quality has changed. It's super cheap super absorbent. No longer good for water colour or gel pens. Okay for pencil. Will no longer buy.
I might buy this one again
I really like these color and frame spiral bound coloring books. I have 3 of the single books and several of the 3 in 1. The paper is high quality printed on one side, and pages are perforated. This one is full of floral patterns. The spiral binding makes it much easier to access the full page to color. So far I've used pens and colored pencils, and the paper holds up well with no bleed through.
You will love this coloring book!! 🎨🎉
This is a great coloring book. The detail is just enough to be enjoyable but not so much that it's lengthy or difficult to complete. I'm focusing more on blending techniques with color pencils, these pictures are just the right size to test out a variety of methods. The print is one side only which allows me to test color combos on the opposite page, being spiral bound makes this really easy. Also, pages are nice and thick so gel pens would probably be fine, I wouldn't expect any bleeding through. When I get around to using gel pens in this book, I'll report back. Just get it. You're welcome. 😄 If this was helpful, lemme know!! 🥳
Can't wait to try this out!
I just received this, and was inspired to write a good review for a couple of reasons. The spiral bound book is a really nice format. It will be very easy to remove pages without tearing the edges. The inside of the back and front covers offer some really inspiring color palette examples. The best feature is the consistency of detail on pages. Many coloring books have a wide variety, and some of the pages are just too much black ink and small spaces for me. This book is pretty consistent and I can see myself using every page. The paper seems to be high quality. I'm eager to try this out tonight.
Wonderful Book
I love this book. The paper quality is great and so are the pictures. The spiral is one of the reasons I decided to try this book and I am not disappointed. I love that with the spiral the pages lay flat while coloring. We took a couple books from this company with us camping and if there wasn't enough table space it was still easy to work in them. This book is well worth the money!
Amazing Quality!!
Coloring as an adult compared to as a child is SOOO MUCH BETTER! I say that for the following reasons: 1.) the quality of the pages in this book is beyond words. The pages are thick enough to use markers to color it in. 2.) The art that’s in the book are Truly BEAUTIFUL and really allow you to run free with the colors.. and really allow you to either color it in or to color it in plus add more to the picture. You have that option based on how advance you are. 3.) ITS SPIRAL BOUND AND THATS EVEN BETTER!! Meaning you don’t have to tear out the pages... you can simple fold the book without having to worry if your master pieces bending.
Love the spiral binding.
This is actually the second time I purchased this verse this particular coloring book. I love the spiral-bound pages the details are perfect not too big not too small and it’s on white card stock tape paper. Making use markers and it doesn’t bleed through but I think the spiral-bound is where it’s at I wish all coloring books came this way. I do have one small pet peeve with at all it’s a very thin book much thinner then I usually tend to buy, But even that doesn’t stop me from purchasing it the price point is good the quality is there and it’s worth purchasing am I but even that doesn’t stop me from purchasing it the price point is good. the quality is there and it’s worth purchasing in my opinion.
