Thailand Escape: My Colorful Trip Through Exotic Lands

By: Jade Gedeon

Rating: 5 of 5

I own three other coloring books by Jade Gedeon with this book, Thailand Escape being the fourth to add to my collection. I like to (and did) buy a second copy of this coloring book as I like to use one for primarily markers and colored pencil accents and another for use with water soluble and Inktense pencils.

The quality of the coloring book is the same as the previous three, with high quality cream tone paper with a distinctly rough touch. The designs show Thailand from what I consider the point of view of a tourist. There are architectural designs, designs which show the food and dress of the country and also some which bring the face of the people to the coloring book.
The paper is a cream tone and is heavyweight watercolor paper. There are five double page fold-out designs. All of the pages are perforated for easy removal from the book. As with the first three books, I found once again that all of my coloring medium worked well with this paper. I did find that if my alcohol-based Copic markers that were extremely full and wet, there was a slight tendency for feathering.
This is what I experienced in coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper.
Thailand inspired designs
Printed on one side of the page with five double page fold-out designs
Paper is thick watercolor paper in cream, rough texture and all pages are perforated for easy removal.
Sewn Binding
Designs stop short of perforations
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page and can feather side-to-side if the marker is juicy
Water-based markers, India ink pens, and gel pens do not bleed through the paper.
Colored pencils work well with the page though, due to the texture, it takes several layers to get a deep pigment. Both oil and wax based pencils worked equally well. I was able to get good color, layer different colors easily and blend extremely easily using a pencil style blender stick.
