SECRET GARDEN

Pros -1. Great pages2. Great artwork3. Good and strong bindingCons -1. You can't use markers or pens that bleed deeply because then the colours bleed through the page and make the other wide of the page useless for colouring in.2. You can't colour the inside of the binding cover (see pics) because it's got it smooth buttery type of texture on which neither permanent markers work, nor crayons or pencil colours.3. The book doesn't have a lay flat binding because of which it becomes a tad difficult to colour in the edges near the binding.

I loved this book a lot. I generally like drawing and painting. In this busy life, I hardly find time to paint, and it's too much of a hassle to wash the brushes and put away all the paraphernalia afterwards.I am coloring this book with color pencils. I am so happy that it doesn't need much of continuity to pick up where I left off. I can stop in the middle and easily get back to it later.The doodles are all beautiful. It gives you so much happiness when you color these drawings. Total stress buster if you like painting and drawing

Very detailed illustrations by artist Johanna Basford. The book takes one to a journey thru its pages and tells a story at the same time. By filling the colors one can feel like weaving the story on his/her own!

Beautiful artwork... Inspires is to colour them... But the background of each page is kind of creamy green colour.... I expected it to be white.... Also, if brush pens are used, ink kind of seeps to the other side ... It has to be carefully used.... Works well with colour pencils though....

One of the most best gifts I have gifted to myself. It's a stress booster. This is one of the best book for those who are fond of coloring and sketching. I am very much pleased with book as it helps me rejunevate and refresh on my week off's. Thank you Amazon for having this beautiful book on your website . A happy customer :)

It is a piece of art in itself and I use it everyday, to spend some quality time with myself. The designs are so mind fully engaging and I am so glad I own a copy of this coloring book. Would definitely recommend it to all who are new to the amazing world of adult coloring.

The designs are intricate and beautiful and pleasing to look at. Johanna Basford's books are best for those who like botanical drawings such as that of leaves, flowers, plants and trees. My only complain is that the pages are extremely yellow.

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.I seriously need to work on my nervous energy, and most days I'm running around frantic. This is just...pretty. And it calm me down. Add a bunch of fine-tipped pens, and some glitter pens, and you will be a very happy camper.
