Very nice pictures, with the state flower, allowing the use of brighter colors if the birds are more browns and greys. Many pages, this book is well worth the additional cost.
I purchased this Dover coloring book because my grandkids have school projects involving, State birds, flowers, etc. I felt this coloring book really fit the bill, when it came to using it for that purpose. All the DOVER coloring books are very detailed and realistic, They are all beautifully done. They are very sturdy products. I love them all. I would recommend this to anyone. I usually make a copy of the page someone needs to color for a school project. That way others can color that exact page too, when they need to. Barbee H, SD
I spend many hours coloring with colored and water color pencils with my grandchildren and this has quickly become quickly become a go to coloring book at my house for so many reasons, but of course the top reason is the hours spent with grandchildren , the shine in their eyes and the smile on their faces when they see their finished master piece worthy of framing.1. This book has 51 beautiful illustrations and include 50 state birds and flowers, plus the national bird and flower.2. At the bottom of each page is a description, telling you the state, the bird and flower with facts about each.3. This book also includes thumbnails of each illustration in full color, to use as a coloring guide.4. Each page is detailed for the experienced colorist, or (Grandma and school age Grandchildren) time, but not excessively detailed, a nice afternoon's project for either crayons or colored pencils.5. The pictures are well detailed, so with the colored pencils you can be artistic and make the feathers look like feathers, the petals on the flowers look curved and using lighter and darker strokes and adding highlights create an almost a 3D effect.6. The page paper is a good weight for colored pencils, I can blend, and burnish, or use a stylus without tearing the pages, I do fold the book and put in on a clip board so I am only pressing on the page I am coloring.7. This coloring book does not have a lot of dark lines for shadows, like some of the other Dover Coloring books, which make them hard to color
The paper is good quality. There are examples as to how the bird and the flower should be colored. It is very relaxing to sit and color during a quiet time. It is a good study on bird and flower colors.
I got 7 of these books and love coloring them. You can get really creative. I don't have an artist's talent, so I enjoy creating my own color combinations, although there are colored pictures of all of them on the covers so you can follow those or come up with your own. These aren't not kids coloring books! They are more detailed, and I use colored pencils on some, fine point gel pens on others and a wide range of felt tip colors on most. I usually do these in the evening when I need to wind down and they work wonders for me. Even without artistic talent, I love my renderings. This books is so educational and while they are published for adults, they're a great gift for kids who have some advanced coloring skills. You lean the state birds and flowers so well and with very little effort, no memorization, it just soaks in as you work with these.
I was looking for a new interest to keep me occupied during the long evenings. I liked to color as a child some 60+ years ago and thought I'd try it again. This art work is very nicely done, and the book has small artist renditions of every page to give me color ideas. I am coloring it with pencils. Birds and flowers are both favorite works of nature for me, so this book is the best of two worlds.
I bought this for my grandmother as a stocking stuffer. She has to stay indoors more, often with limited activity, and doesn't get to enjoy nature the way she has in the past. She called yesterday and ask me to find her more of the books. Fortunately, Dover seems to have a great assortment!
As an adult I am not into using crayons to color but markers. The pages in this book are not thick enough so leak the ink onto the backside of the page. Very annoying so I will have to look elsewhere. Otherwise, they are very nice with lovely pictures and a color guide at the back for authenticity.
