Constant stimulation and expectation have left us burnt out and distanced from the present moment. "Now" has become something that happens online, not in the space and time that we physically occupy. Color Me Calm is a guided coloring book design

I have a confession: I'm 40 years old and I love coloring books. This is perhaps the best one I've seen. Its mandalas, water scenes, wooded scenes, geometric patterns, flora and fauna, and other natural patterns all contain perfect level of detail. Recommendation: Enlarge them onto 8 1/2 x 11 drawing paper.
A friend gave it to me with a box of Crayola Twistable colored mechanical pencils-- they're the perfect thickness for this book.
Here's an example from the Natural Patterns chapter:

One hundred calming pictures and patterns broken up into six chapters of different themes. And with the examples given at the beginning of each chapter, you’re encouraged to go beyond filling in a piece of detail, but shading it with an additional color, giving your artwork a little more depth. Of course you can do it however you like.
I’ve been coloring, mostly patterns for less than a year. I find the activity calming as it’s difficult to let problems fill you mind when you’re concentrating on ...more

Love this book! Really helps me to relax.
I love this book! It is evident that a great deal of thought and care went into creating this book (choosing the drawings, organization, and layout of the book) by the licensed art therapist and the artist who created this beautiful and effective book.
It is excellent quality, has thick strong paper, and wonderful designs.

Art therapist Lacy Mucklow and artist Angela Porter have given you a truly remarkable adult colorbook which will help you to calm down after a long day of work or a fun filled weekend. I see others have posted pictures from the book so I won't do it again for you. There is 100 templates for you to color and it even gives you an example of some to get you off to a creative picture. This is one of the better colorbooks I have purchased. Buy one today you won't be sorry. I highly recommend this one

This (plus a set of really high quality markers) is by far the best thing I've added to my classroom this year. Students LOVE it, and so do I. Beautiful and calming, a very grounding activity for the ADHD among us.

I have really enjoyed coloring the book. I have used markers and colored pencils, and both have worked well.
Coloring at its best.
