I am enjoying this coloring book very much. Each page is printed on one side only, and is on heavy paper. These line drawings are actual museum pieces and according to the coloring book, are on display in the Glasgow Museum. Photos of each piece is included in the front and back inside covers of the coloring book, along with the list of names, birth year/death year of each artist. These are simple line designs, but there are small details that require the use of a thin tip pencil, or a small point gel pen. I am using Prismacolor Verithin Pencils, and Tek gel pens (mostly for outlining purposes only).
Coloring is a wonderful relaxing way to quiet the mind. Of all the coloring books I have purchased, this is the best. While there are many coloring books available for adults most of them have poor quality paper. The vast majority are printed on both sides which can not hold up very well to having both sides colored. Most other coloring books that have the images on one side only do not have paper that is any better. This book is exceptional. The stock is heavy. The image is very well defined and printed on one side and the paper can hold up to layering colors, blending, and watercolors. It even stands up to erasing! Unfortunately there are very few coloring books of this quality. I may have to resort to copying cheap paper coloring books onto heavier stock. But that could get pricey. Oh well! This one is lovely. So I hope the coloring book gods will publish more books of this quality. I recently purchased a coloring book for $19.95 from the "spirit of the ages museum" here on . It is called, "Coloring the Ages." It is also very nice but still the quality of the paper does not compare to "Paris Fashion Designs 1912-1913 coloring book" at a cheaper price. Dover has a huge and varied selection but again the quality of the paper is less than ideal. At any rate I encourage anyone who may be interested to purchase some color pencils and "be as a child."A word on the pencils. There are many pencils avaiable in differing price ranges. While I find Prismacolor to be the best, unless you are a professional artist, the Rose Art pencils on at $13.95 for a hundred with free shipping are more than adequate. These pencils are the best buy on the net and I have really looked. Even here on the set of 50 Rose Art pencils is more than the set of 100. I don't know why. I am just glad they are. I thank you and my grandchildren thank you as well. At that price we can all stay "in good pencils!'
Wonderful, clear designs on the best paper for coloring in most mediums. This will inspire anyone interested in colors, fashion, and historical costuming. I would recommend this for adults who enjoy coloring. These designs are artistic enough to be framed and displayed after coloring; mine are being done in colored pencils and will be hung in my sewing room.
Love this book. The designs are fabulous. I color all the time for relaxation, and this is one of my favorite coloring books. I have started to tear out the pages after I color them and put them in loose leaf binders. in sheet proctors . I am doing this with all my coloring books. So far I have two binders filled from all my coloring books. Great way to go back and look at all I have done.
I'm having so much fun with this coloring book. The pictures in this book are on oneside of the page so you can use markers. So far I've only used coloring pencils. I colored some pictures with heavy shading, some with light shading, some with no shading at all. In all cases I'm happy with the results I've gotten. I look upon the characters on these pages as rather eccentric which makes the coloring experience that much more enjoyable.
As an adult that occasionally likes to color to decompress, options are limited for coloring books. I enjoy mandalas, but not all the time. This book fits the bill perfectly. The artwork is wonderful, and I really enjoy looking at the fashions of yesteryear. The paper it's printed on is thick, which cuts down on "bleed through" if you enjoy using markers. Also, the images are printed on one side only, so you can removed them and frame them.
I’m an adult who colors. And I'm always looking for new books. I recently discovered Pomegranate Books and this is one of my favorites.
I really liked coloring this, although some colorists may be put off a bit by how out of proportion most of the ladies figures are. They have short to average torsos and extremely elongated legs; aside from that, however, the costumes are quite interesting to color and I had a great time with it.
