Color Therapy is a coloring book printed on thin card stock like paper. The designs are mostly of flowers and other plants but a few are of buildings or abstract patterns to color. The book contains 80 designs which are printed on both sides of the page.
The book is presented in landscape or horizontal format with a spiral binding at the top. A number of the designs actually extend into the spiral area and that makes those difficult to color as you need to maneuver into the spirals themselves.
The book is a slightly larger format for books in the US but as the copy I purchased was published outside of the US, it isn’t too surprising. The pages are well printed and the designs are imaginative and very well done.
This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and checking the paper with my color medium:
80 Mostly Floral Designs
Printed on both sides of the page
Paper is lightweight card stock, white, slightly rough, and non-perforated
Spiral bound at top of the page
Designs merge into the spiral binding area
Opens flat easily for coloring
Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through to some extent
India Ink pens leave a colorful shadow on the back of the page
Gel pens do not bleed through the paper
Colored Pencils worked well. I used both oil and wax based to test an was able to get good color, blend and layer well. Hard lead pencils do not dent through the paper
