Amy Brown Faeries Coloring Book
By: Amy Brown
Rating: 5 of 5
This is my first coloring book by Amy Brown. I’ve seen other books by another publisher in the past but this is the first one that I have purchased. I hope that Ms. Brown brings out more of her fantasy designs under this publisher. I would love to color some of her dragons, etc. as well as these beautiful faeries.
The faeries in this book are adults and they seem almost to be caught in the act of movement. Ms. Brown is able to draw static lines in such a way that you believe you will see them walk right off the page. The dresses flow beautifully and gracefully and the placement of arms and legs and tilt of head are all spot on.
The book is printed on one side of the page with the typical CreateSpace thin white paper. The book is glue bound so you will need to cut designs out if you want to remove them from the book. All of the designs stop well before the binding and all elements are finished on the page (no half dangling open items where you have to guess where to stop coloring.) I was able to get the book to lay flat by breaking the spine.
All of my markers bleed through and my gel pens and India ink artist pens either bleed through or leave a distinct shadow on the back of the page. My coloring pencils work well with the paper and as expected for the type of lead (soft or hard.) I will use a piece of chipboard or heavy paper behind the page I am working on so I don’t ruin the following page with leaking ink. In the comments section below, I will list the coloring medium I used to test this book.
