30 Cute Autumn and Halloween designs printed on one side of black paper

Autumn falls (night edition): printed on black paper

Rating: 5 of 5

This is one of a few of my coloring books which have utilized black paper. It makes it really interesting as the paper is black front and back and the designs are printed in white ink. I also purchased the regular line drawn (black on white paper) of this same book and it is really amazing to see how much different the same design can look depending on the ink and paper used.

There are 30 designs in this book. Many of the designs are autumn related and a good number are more specific to Halloween. I like both styles. The designs are graceful and fun to color. With lots of pumpkins, acorns, owls, cats, bats, witches and more, there’s a great choice in designs to color. These are my first books by Ebony Rainn; however, I will certainly be looking for more in the future.
This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing this innovative paper.
30 Autumn and Halloween Designs (plus presentation page) printed with white ink on black paper
Printed on one side of the page
Paper is black (front and back), thin, slightly rough and non-perforated
Glue Bound
Plenty of room to remove designs from book if you choose to do so
Alcohol and water based markers bleed through this paper. You cannot see the bleed through easily but I used a blotter page and it saturated through to the blotter.
Gel pens and India ink pens left slightly discernible shadows on the back of the page in the sense that the paper looked darker but was still black.
Colored pencils worked well with the paper. I was able to get good color, layer, and blend well with both wax and oil based pencils. You need to be careful not to color outside of the lines as it is very noticeably different look than the color on the white ink image. Hard lead pencils can leave discernible dents on the back of the page.
I highly suggest a heavyweight blotter page be used at all times. I use card stock or two sheets of heavyweight paper. You can have ink leak through without noticing or dent through the page and mar the pages below.
