Beautiful 126 page Assortment of Flora Chang’s Folk Art Cat Designs printed on both sides of non-perforated paper
Posh Adult Coloring Book: Cats & Kittens for Comfort & Creativity
By: Flora Chang
Rating: 5 of 5
This is my second coloring book by Flora Chang. The first one was a variety of modern folk art while this book is single subject, cats and kittens in the same wonderful folk art style. This is one of my favorite styles in coloring books. They are fun and easy to color. Some of the designs have a lot of detail but for the most part, they are more open and don’t require any special coloring medium in order to color them.
I’ve been having a fun coloring these designs. As I like to use markers, I’ve already ordered a second book because, unfortunately, my alcohol-based markers always bleed through on not only this paper but 99% of the adult coloring books that are made. It’s a problem with this book because the designs are printed on both sides of the page and using my markers means I ruin the design on the backside of the page.
This is what I found in coloring and testing coloring medium in this book:
126 pages of hand-drawn Cat and Kitten folk art designs
Designs are printed on both sides of the page
Paper is medium weight, white, somewhat smooth, and non-perforated.
Most designs do not merge into the binding area; however,
Some designs spread across two pages and merge into the binding area
Glue bound
Slightly smaller than average format size with rounded corners
Opens fairly flat if you crease the spine
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page.
Water-based markers had mixed results. My Tombow’s did not leak through when I used the brush end. My other water-based markers did not bleed through completely but you could definitely see a shadow of the color on the backside of the page.
Gel pens and India ink pens did not leak through the page.
None of my gel pens leaked through and they did not require additional drying time.
Coloring pencils worked well and put down good color, layered and blended fairly well. Hard lead pencils did not leave dents on the back of the page.
