Rating: 5 of 5

I always have a lot of fun coloring books by Dr. Angela Porter. They are usually a single subject or a mandala and are somewhat easy to color. Entangled Landscapes is a really different kind of coloring book and one that I am having a blast with. The landscapes in this book are wildly imaginative and abstract.

There are all sorts of small and intricate elements to these designs. I didn’t have any problems figuring out what was what. Simply that there is so much in each designs that it is fun to color in bits and pieces. These are not what I would call fast and easy projects, in fact, the reverse. There are many details and some of the coloring is pretty much insanely intricate which makes sense as the book is part of that line from Creative Haven.

For my first project, I chose to transition the sky at the top of the page first. I then moved to the ocean scene towards the bottom. Then to the cloud city and then back to the stalagmite and stalactite cavern underground. Then on to all of the other fun parts of the design.

This is what I found when coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper. In the comments section below, I will list the coloring medium I use for testing and which I use generally for coloring my projects.

31 Highly Detailed and Intricate Landscape Designs

Printed on one side of the page

Paper medium weight, white, lightly rough and perforated. If you have colored in a Creative Haven book in the last couple of years, this is the standard paper they are now using.

Glue bound; however, pages can be removed easily at perforations

Designs stop before the perforations

Alcohol and water based markers bleed through to some degree (alcohol based bleeds through freely and water based leave spots of color on the back of the page.)

Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the page. India ink can bleed through in spots with repeated layers.

Coloring pencils work well with this paper. I was able to use both wax and oil based pencils equally well. They lay down good color, layer and blend well. Hard lead pencils leave dents on the back of the page.
