Mandala Wonders | Color Art for Everyone – Leisure Arts (6765)
By: Leisure Arts
Rating: 5 of 5
This is an adult coloring book filled mandala-type designs. 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. Usually, when I have a color book of mandalas, there is a single, circular image on the page. On these, in most cases, the image is more of a montage of overlaying itself and filling the page. It is very pretty and should be a lot of fun to color.
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.
I have found that coloring helps me release my mind from my worries. Having a single point of focus really seems to relieve my mind and help me relax. That this is a book of mandalas which are used for meditating makes it even more relaxing.
