Vincent Van Gogh (Art Colouring Book): Make Your Own Art Masterpiece

High quality thick one sided paper. Love it.As per usual with Amazon, no book will arrive in perfect condition and mine did not but it wasn't bad: rolled up for some reason but was able to flatten it back, and a few of the pages had minor damage on the edges but no artwork was damaged because of the borders around them.

Sono rimasta positivamente sorpresa dalla qualità del prodotto. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è davvero ottimo. Le pagine sono rimovibili grazie a una linea tratteggiata pretagliata. Ho usato gli acquerelli su due pagine e mi sono trovata abbastanza bene, chiaramente non è carta da acquerello ma se si fa attenzione si può fare qualche esperimento senza problemi. Sicuramente lo proverò anche con i gessetti a cera.

This is one of a new series of “Make Your Own Art Masterpiece” coloring books from Flame Tree. In this coloring book, the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh is explored. The designs in this book have a lot of detail which can be sometimes intimidating. In this book, some of detail lines suggest areas for shading.There are 45 line drawing designs to color. The designs were chosen by Daisy Seal and were illustrated by David Jones. The designs cover a good range of Van Gogh's artwork. It's amazing to think that such a wonderful and popular artist only sold one painting during his lifetime.On the opposite facing page of each design, is the name of the work, when it was created and how it was published. There is a thumbnail of a small portion of the design with some color showing.The inside flaps at the front and back of the book have black and white line drawings which can be colored as well. The cover is quite smooth but will accept various forms of color medium.This is what I found in coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper45 Designs based on the artwork of artist Vincent Van Gogh.Designs are printed on one side of the pagePaper is light ivory, heavy weight, slightly rough and is perforated.Sewn Binding. You can remove pages at the perforations if you wish but it will separate the designs from the describing thumbnails.Book fairly easy to lay flat in the open position.The designs do not merge into the binding area. The designs have framing lines at their outer edges so you don't have to color up to and over the edges.Alcohol based markers bleed through this paper.India ink pens can leave slight shadows of color on the back of the page.Water based markers and gel pens do not bleed through the paper.Coloring pencils worked well. Both oil and wax based pencils worked well for providing good pigment. Though the paper is slightly smooth, I was able to layer the same color for deeper tones, layer multiple colors and to blend easily using a pencil style blending stick.If you use a medium that bleeds through the paper, I suggest using a blotter page under your working page. I use card stock but heavy weight paper works well, too. This will keep ink from seeping through and marring the pages below.

The book is good. I think I expect both sides of the page to be coloring pages but it wasn’t.

This is one of the best coloring books. The paper is thick; its printed on one side; the author shows you color suggestions, and the detail is perfect (not too sparse or too detailed. I plan to order more by this author. Hope this helps. :)
