Adult Coloring Beautiful Birds Coloring Book (Adult Coloring Books: Animals)

Attached is my silent and quick flip through video of the entire book of designs. I hope it is of assistance to you. My husband and I have started using Adult Coloring Books as a way to de-stress. I know that many crafts use the same part of the brain that one uses in meditation, so I wasn't surprised to read that many other adults were turning to coloring. I have bought several different types of books and I find that I like a lot of the ones by Creative Haven/Dover. I have found that my non-alcohol based markers and my gel pens all leak through this brand of book, so I am sure to place paper between the pages to keep the pages behind fresh and clean. I've found that freezer paper works really well for this purpose. The pages of the book are single-sided and are perforated at the bound edge so you can remove the page to color or to frame afterwards. The pages are a bright white and have a decent pound weight - they are not flimsy. What is really nice about this particular book is that, if you chose to color the pages realistically, the author/illustrator has included a color guide for each of the 31 print included in the book. The birds are shown in natural habitat style outdoor settings but you can decide to mix it up and use any color you wish. The illustrations by Dot Barlowe are quite lovely and include the following birds: Painted buntings, Baltimore orioles, Bobwhite quails, Carolina wrens, Eastern bluebirds, Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Roseate spoonbills, Cedar waxwings, Barn swallow, Brown pelicans, Monk parakeets, Northern flicker, Tuamoto sandpiper, Belted kingfisher, a montage of House finch, white throated sparrow, house sparrows, song sparrow, and chipping sparrow, also included are American flamingos, Northern cardinals, Red-tailed hawk, Eastern rosette, Osprey, Snowy Owl, Laysan albatross, Wild turkeys, Ring-necked pheasants, Herring gull, Sharp-tailed grouse, Mute swan, Great blue heron, Purple gallinute, Sanderlings, and Wood duck. The illustrations contain quite a bit of detail, so it is a nice challenge for me. Of the color books I have purchased recently, this one is my husband's favorite as he is quite the bird lover. When it arrived, he went through it and called dibs on the pages he wanted to work (and penciled his initials on the back page. He had already "called" about three quarters of them before I even got to look at the book! That's okay, the price is so reasonable that I can buy another one if we have a dispute about who gets what. It's really nice to have a relatively inexpensive hobby that is so relaxing at the same time.

I'm still working my way through this book, but totally enjoying it. I really appreciate the ID and color guide in the back. If you are using markers, use a backing paper. While not many have bled through a few of the juicy ones have a tiny bit.

Nice pictures.

Bought 3 bird coloring books for the folks at a nursing home and this is the only one I would recommend. The background setting adds to the story and puts the bird in its environment. Nicely done! 👍

Beautiful bird book!

Gorgeous illustrations attributed to real human people. The only one of three coloring books that I ordered recently that I'll be keeping. Very excited to get out the art supplies and crack into it!

Very nice

If you love birds and like adult coloring book, then this is for you. All of J. Audubon paintings are on one page. The same bird is on the next page but only as an outline. You try to color the outline to look like the original painting

El libro tiene unas ilustraciones realistas de aves que me gustan bastante, su mayor defecto es la calidad de la edición. Tiene 32 paginas de un papel no muy grueso, impresas solo por una de sus caras, las hojas están perforadas para poder separarlas del libro Como en principio utilizo solo lápices de colores ,el grueso del papel no me supone un problema, con lápices acuarelables puede que el papel de problemas, como idea del grueso del papel, el libro tiene un grosor de 5 mm Una de las paginas, en el libro que me llegó tiene una macha de tinta (se puede ver en la quinta foto), otro par de paginas también tienen manchas de tinta por la parte trasera, no he devuelto el libro porque la mancha no afecta al dibujo) Cuando comience a colorearlo, completare esta opinión, valorando como se comporta el papel con los lápices que utilizo Como ya había leído las opiniones de Amazon USA, no me ha "decepcionado el libro", es lo que me esperaba Volveria a comprarlo Nota: en alguna de las fotos he puesto dos paginas juntas, se nota claramente por la linea divisoria, de esta forma he podio poner todas las ilustraciones (el limite de fotos que se pueden poner en una opinión son 20)

gefällt mir sehr gut. Schöne Motive. Man kann seiner Phantasie freien Lauf lassen. Günstige Entspannung für viele Stunden sind garantiert
