Botanical Wonders | Color Art for Everyone – Leisure Arts (6764)

Rating: 5 of 5
Floral designs abound in this new book book by Leisure Arts. The pages are filled with stylized flowers and even include a few birds and garden bugs. The designs are all supplied by GMC Designs/Shutterstock, Inc. I don’t know if that means there are various designers within those companies or not, but there isn’t a specific artist mentioned.
There are 24 different designs. I am home gardener who grows both flowers and vegetables, so this book is one that is very appealing to me. There are orchids, fuchsias, poppies, sunflowers, and many others, including what look like some gorgeous fantasy flowers.

The paper weight is nice and heavy very much a feeling of premium grade paper. The designs are printed on one side of the page (with the back side blank.) The pages are all micro-perforated so removing them from the book will be easy. The print quality of the design is excellent. There are parts of the designs which are rather intricate.
I have had bleed through of color with all of my markers and some gel pens. If using either media, I will either remove the page from the book or put some freezer paper or heavy card stock between the pages while I am working.
There is information on the inside front and inside back page which explains color and shading techniques. I am very impressed with both the quality and the subject matter in the new line of Leisure Arts coloring books.
These are beautiful designs to color and should be a lot of relaxing fun. I usually reserve the last hour of the evening for my coloring I find that it helps me go to sleep more quickly when I time it just so.
