Color the Classics: The Art Institute of Chicago: (Adult Coloring Book) (Adult Coloring Books)

We bought this first for a gift and loved it so much bought one for ourselves too. Material feels nice, the paintings are recognizable. Really nice unique gift.

A few of the drawings are just right for coloring, but most have such tiny lines and details that it's impossible to color them in.

Nice array of art works; well constructed; and reasonable price.

Nice product

In my opinion, after examining most of the great-artist coloring books sold by Amazon, this one is the very best. The line drawings are more sensitive and more detailed and generally better than any others I have seen. Uniquely, this book has a thick cardboard backing that allows one to color right in the book on one's lap - however, I prefer to photocopy the ine drawings and color on a separate sheet so I can do it more than once, if I so choose, maybe even differently. This allows one to exercise more individuality in coloring and replicating the original paintings. I think this kind of adult coloring hobby can be a great pastime for people like me who appreciate the form, line and color of great art (sometimes even the meaning) but have no hope of creating such. It might even lead to improvements in that area - (I can hope - five people in my immediate family have definite talent in this area and have worked in it or related fields professionally).

I have this as a gift but I would buy it for myself. The line reproductions are well done. Color reproductions of each painting are provided so that the colorist can approximate the colors in the paintings, if desired. The paper is good quality. The recipient was very pleased.

Wow, so many classic works of art. I just got back from visiting the Art Institute. I’d only had a few hours there, and this coloring book is a great reminder of my visit. I haven’t actually colored on the paper in the book. instead I’ve purchased small canvasses and sketched out the works using this book as a guide. I’ll be painting on canvass. However, the paper appears to be high quality. I won’t hesitate to use it too. I highly recommend it.

It's all the paintings I knew and loved from childhood - that is very good. Unfortunately, as a coloring book, it has so many lines it's had to find a clear space to get my colors in. Had to use colored pencils instead of crayons and it still didn't seem right. . . Maybe it is meant for use with water colors. Anyway, would be a nice gift for anyone who loves the Art Institute of Chicago. It includes their most memorable and famous pieces.

MARAVILHOSO. adorei

Received it this morning looks like a good drawing book and can't wait to get started.....I have a few books to colour some are so, but this looks terrific, I love doing people the most....I just love this book so I am ordering another one just so as not to run out, I can colour in different colours from my first book which I have not finished yet, it is a book of sophistication with wonderful pages to colour.
