The Art of Mindfulness: Serene and Tranquil Coloring

Rating: 5 of 5
There are over 90 beautiful designs in this coloring book. They range from a lot of flowers to birds, other animals, abstract flowing designs, as well as a number of others. I have picked up all four books in this particular line and they all have a very similar look and feel. I don’t quite understand how some are happy or serene or peaceful or calming. In any case, they are all quite pretty and should be fun to color. There are a number of artists involved with this book and it shows in the wide variety of styles.
The cover of this book is gorgeous it is a matte metallic slate blue (not the blue showing on the Amazon picture) with flowers, some of which have glossy highlighting. The book is printed on a nice quality heavyweight white paper. The paper is non-perforated and the pages are printed on both sides of the page. The binding is sewn, so removing the pages should be a matter of snipping various threads every few pages to completely remove the pages from the book. The book has rounded edges on the unbound side and is slightly smaller than a regular sheet of paper. The designs stop well before the binding; however, many of them leave elements unfinished without a frame of sorts to finish off the design. This makes it more difficult for me to color the design and have a nice finished quality to it.
