Groovy Owls Coloring Book

Exactly what I wanted and expected. I bought this in memory of my mother for she loved owls, she passed away, and colouring in it reminds me of her. I love it so much - that i may buy another one soon its so beautiful.

The media could not be loaded. I own a few coloring books by Thaneeya McArdle; however, this is the first one that I have that is dedicated to owl designs. The designs are so much fun to color. She has given each of them a different personality. I really enjoy the wide range – it seems like each and every one is different from the others. I enjoy coloring owls and have done a couple by Ms. McArdle (in books with a wide variety of subjects) so it is really special to get a book with 32 owl designs.I noted that the back of the page is now back in gray rather than colors. I prefer that as sometimes the color could show through to the front of the page depending on which medium I work with. The back of the page has inspiring quotes, journal lines and a design element or two you can color if you choose to do so.The publisher is, once again, printing 8 of the designs in less than full size. They have included a thumbnail color sample, some sample colors used in their design for inspiration and a few words to talk about the colors. It takes up the bottom 2.5 inches of the page. This information could be printed on a separate page or on the actual color sample page rather than on the coloring page.It seems like they gave some thought to it as in this book, it makes less of a difference than in other books. The designs can still be colored as there aren't tiny elements. I would still much rather color a full page designs. As the designs are not difficult to color, I won't detract any stars from my review.This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium.32 Fun to color Owl designs – 24 Full Size and 8 Medium SizePrinted one side of the page – back of page has soft gray design, journal lines and an inspiring quotePaper is medium weight, white, slightly rough and perforatedGlue BindingDesigns stop well before the perforationsAlcohol-based markers bleed through the pageWater-based markers leave colorful shadows and bleed through in very noticeable spots.Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on the back of the page and can spot through to the back of the page if applied heavily.Colored pencils work well with the paper. Both oil and wax based pencils provide good color, layer, and blend well using a blender stick. Hard lead pencils can dent through the page.I use a blotter page of card stock or heavyweight paper (two sheets) to keep seeping ink and dents from marring the pages below. I recommend using a blotter or that you remove pages before coloring.
