Renaissance: Adult Coloring Book inspired by the Master Painters of the Renaissance Art Movement: 1 (Art Movements Series)

I bought this book after seeing a flip-through video, and I'm mostly happy with it. The pictures are all pencil sketched by hand and include shading, so there is some element of greyscale. They are nearly all long-haired ladies - just two males are featured in the whole book. Pages are one sided and there's 47 completely different images so it's quite good value (no repeats and no half-hearted filler pages). The pictures are inspired by paintings from the Renaissance period (some much more loosely than others). There are a few nearly-nudes, but draped fabrics, foliage and flowers are tastefully placed in key areas to retain modesty.The paper is typical cheapish colouring book paper (pretty thin) so I'm guessing coloured pencils (or maybe a careful base layer of marker) would be best if you're colouring in the book, but (hooray) the book also includes access to the PDF digital version, so you can print onto better paper. This is a huge positive point for me, as I like to print onto watercolour paper and use watercolour pencils or paints. I've started work on a couple of pages and am very much enjoying colouring them.On the negative side, the images are a little too heavily shaded for my personal taste - there's a lot of grey on the page to start with, which might be great for those who struggle with shading, but it can dull colours somewhat if you're using transparent media on top. Also, the drawings are a little naive or unsophisticated in parts - especially the hands, which the artist obviously struggles with drawing to look realistic and to scale with the body and perspective. Several of the hands are completely the wrong scale (mostly way too small) and look amateurishly rendered.Overall though, I really like this book. It's something a bit different, and some of the images are are really charming.

Very nice pictures I'm enjoying colouring this book

Not a great variety of picture types, not really worth the price.

Good coloring book, beautiful lineart. Thank you!
