Review on Mandalas II Adult Coloring Book - 50 Hand Drawn Designs on High-Quality Paper, with Durable Hardback Covers, Spiral Binding, Perforated Pages, plus Bonus Blotter by Morgan Gilmore

Another winner of ColorIt coloring pages for adults. I also like that there is a variety of scenes to choose from. Some are lazy idleness. Others invite you to grab your binoculars and bird watch, while others encourage you to pack a picnic basket and invite your friends over. There are many birds, butterflies, bunnies, squirrels, cats, dogs, cacti, vegetables, flowers, popsicles and cupcakes making for a potpourri of color possibilities. BEAUTIFUL: The structure of this book makes it great. Buy. Spiral binding provides convenience while painting. The book can be rotated in any direction for easier coloring. Designs are printed one per page on thick white smooth paper with perforations at the top. Gel pens work very well for many finely detailed spaces. . Markers and brush pens are ideal for larger areas. Almost all media work fine; However, some colored pencils, especially hard ones, don't smudge well. Wet markers, gel pens, watercolor pens with water brushes leave beautiful bold colors. Wet brushes over watercolor pencils will cause initial paper creases on the back; however, after drying, the paper becomes smooth again. Soft-tipped crayons blend well, but some can smear easily, such as B. Prismacolor Premier. Most strokes can be easily erased with a thin, good quality eraser. Most of the illustrations are arranged vertically on the page; However, some of them are horizontal. Some designs fill the entire page, while others are centered on the page with unlimited space around the image. The lines are bold, narrow and clear. (0.5-1 mm wide) Most illustrations contain a lot of detail; however, none of them are particularly difficult. The details make for a beautifully finished work of art. The covers, front and back, are made of durable cardboard that protects the insides. It also allows painting when no hard surface is available. Try taking this book to the doctor. Office waiting room and dye your knees. Discover the many topics of conversation that can arise! GRUMPS: Cover photo not included. Animals seem too "little children" to me. I would have preferred more detail on their bodies; However, other colorists may appreciate the simplicity. CONCLUSION: I think this book will appeal to both novice and intermediate colorists as both have trouble using different painting tools.
