By: Mindful Coloring Books
Rating: 5 of 5
Along with the 20 full size pages, there are two pages at the end of the book which include four bookmark size designs each for more coloring fun. In addition to these 22 pages of designs, there are sample pages from several other Mindful Coloring books as well.
This is what I experienced when coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper. In the comments section below, I will include a list the coloring medium I used for testing and which I also use for coloring.
20 Full Page Halloween designs in Kawaii style plus bonus pages
Printed one side of the page
Paper is thin, slight rough, white and non-perforated
Glue bound
Designs do not merge into the binding area and have a framing line around the outer edge
Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through. Water-based is more spotty while alcohol-based flow through rapidly.
Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on the back of the page. India ink pens can bleed through in spots if you apply multiple layers.
Colored pencils work well. I tested both oil and wax-based and had good results with both. I was able to lay down good color, layer the same and multiple colors, and blend easily using a pencil style blender. Hard lead pencils can leave dents through the paper.
I use a blotter page of card stock to keep seeping ink and dents from damaging the pages below my working page. A couple of pages of heavyweight paper works well, too.
