Complexity: Easy
Paper Quality: Standard weight (similar to printer/fax paper) perforated pages
Illustrations: 31 nature drawings on single-sided pages
Wow! Talk about some amazing full-page artwork. Since the artist brings shading to the illustrations, theses illustrations easily pop off the page with the slightest color and they are easy to color as there aren’t a great deal of tiny detail lines that require a great deal of focus and steady hand. This is the type of coloring book you pick up and color with ease because there really isn’t anything you could do to ruin the illustration. I would recommend this coloring book to anyone new or experienced in coloring, as well as, for anyone who enjoys coloring exquisite nature scenes.
The creators of this coloring book state that the designs are for experienced colorists, but the design and layout were easy to use with every type of coloring medium, so I rated this coloring book easy. However, I can see how an experienced colorist could really illuminate these pages with amazing colors. With 8.2 x 11 dimensions, this coloring book is similar in size to other adult coloring books, but with the added feature of a defined stopping point due to framing lines.
As usual, I started with gel pens and found there was little to no bleed-through. My favorite option was the soft lead colored pencils because the smooth paper quality was perfect for color blending. For a more dramatic look, I used hard lead color pencils to outline the animal features, in doing so I did experience slight indentation on the page but nothing too dramatic. The larger print illustrations allowed for wider tip markers and even crayons. For the tighter spaces I used my fine tip Sharpies and experienced bleed-through issues, which is common with a standard weigh paper. However, the wider water-based markers left little to no bleed-through. If you are concerned about bleed-through, consider using wax paper or take advantage of the perforated edges and separate the page from the book. Color, relax, then display your work of art.
