The Creative Colouring Book for Grown-ups Paperback – 3 May 2012

I was going through some stressful times, and thought coloring might give me a good distraction. It did the trick. This book has quite a few different patterns that are more advanced than your normal coloring book. It's also larger than a normal child's coloring book. It's a great way to get your mind off things that are bothering you, and you create something at the same time. This would also be good for older kids who like to color and want a little bit of a challenge.

This book is superb. It has great quality of paper so any medium may be used to colour. I love the variety of designs and know that it will last a long time as it has many pages! I know that many will not know this, but this book is the English version of the famous publication entitled, "100 coloriages anti stress"http://www.amazon.ca/ART-THÉRAPIE-CENT-COLORIAGES-ANTI-STRESS-COLLECTIF/dp/2012307140/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EEK2E62DMRVWAH1MFNK

Beau livre de coloriage dans l'esprit des mandalas, vraiment de beaux dessins. Idéal pour les mamans qui veulent se relaxer avec leurs enfants autour d'un chouette coloriage qui plaira aux grands comme aux petits (pas avant 7 ans quand même car cela demande de la dextérité).

What a wonderful colouring book, ideal for young or old, there are so many patterns in very different styles, you simply don't know where to start, I bought one for myself, and another for my mum. I have since almost finished the book, and have bought another so i can colour it all again, using completely different colours. Each design is different, some simple, but most quite detailed. Some patterns are repeated on a double page spread, The designs are printed on both sides of the paper, but i haven't had a problem with bleed through, only on a couple of designs, but it all depends on how juicy your pens are. I've used coloured pencil, fibre tipped pens, gel pens, and even watercolour pencils ( the pages buckle with water, so be aware) and have loved every minute. The paper is very good quality, and smooth white. Highly recommended. Ive added a few photos for reference.

A fantastic book. Images are intricate with dark heavy outlines. I use crayola felt tipped markers. for the most part it does not bleed through to the image on the reverse side. this only happens if you go over and over the same area with your markers.The only thing I wish would be that the book opens flat or has a ring binder spine. However a minor issue and I am happy with this colouring book.
