This is a lovely set of 30 fun and different Christmas tree designs which span the gamut from traditional to rather avant garde. Some of the designs are intricate and others are open and easy to color. What is really nice is that all 30 designs have been hand-drawn. These are not the standard computer generated designs that are in such abundance. Personally, I like both styles, so I am always open to trying something new.

This is a really unusual coloring book as it mimics chalkboard style art. It is printed on a soft black matte background and the words and other drawn elements have the appearance of being written in chalk. While there are no instructions on how the samples were colored, it appears that the white portions of the designs were filled in with color. I am guessing that you will need to use a lighter tone perhaps pastel or neon tones to allow the black underlying part of the chalked areas to show through.

The artist responsible for these designs, CJ Hughes, is a professional chalkboard artist. He works in both chalk artwork and chalk-look art and has had a wide variety of customers, including Microsoft, Wendy’s Hamburgers, ESPN, and Rachel Ray Magazine among many others.
