Adult Coloring Book: Whimsical Patterns: Tiny Trailers (Volume 4)
By: Francis Keene
Rating: 5 of 5
I found the designs to be both cute and detailed. A few of them have smaller and more intricate areas to color. The designs are hand-drawn and remind me of the current tiny home trend.
This is what I discovered while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper:
30 line drawing designs of the inside or outside of tiny trailers, plus bonus pages of designs from other books in this series (but not the same artist.)
Printed one side of the page
Paper is typical of CreateSpace: white, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated.
The designs do not merge into the binding area. There is a framing line at the outer edge of each design.
Glue Binding
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly.
Water-based markers bleed through in spots.
Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of the page. India ink can bleed through if you apply heavily or multiple coats.
Coloring Pencils work well with this paper. I found that I could layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors and I could blend easily using a blending stick. I tested both oil and wax based pencils. I also found that hard lead pencils leave dents through the paper.
I like to use a blotter when working in the book. I use a page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper under my working page. It keeps seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.
