Fairies to Paint or Color (Dover Art Coloring Book)

I love this book. I was trying to encourage my talented nephew to drag himself away from the computer and develop his artistic abilities. I sent him a couple of other Dover books which he really liked, so bought this for him as well. The only thing - I shipped it to my address instead. When I saw the pretty designs, I decided to keep it. I color in the early morning: I can plan my day as I color. My husband saw a couple of pages that I colored and told me they were beautiful and said I should frame. I hadn't thought about it, but upon looking at a couple, I decided that I will. This is a wonderful way to have a custom piece in my bathroom. Usually, I would cross stitch a piece, but that takes a long time: coloring is immediate gratification.

Many "adult" coloring books are full of little tiny spaces to fill in that result in a stained-glass looking result (there's another name for it, i'm sure... but anyway...) This book is NOT like that - and this is why I love it! The pictures in this book are beautiful and detailed without being overly detailed. Great for older (eg, not kids) people who want to kill some time coloring. Pictures are only printed on one side of the paper, the paper is good quality and can be torn out easily. Well worth it

I think I returned this due to the paper quality

My students love these high quality, one-sided drawings! They can use markers or paint without the picture on the other side bleeding through. And the pages are good white paper with a grey lined sketch, instead of black. Dover offers 13 different books like this and with the 4-for-3 offer and Super Saver shipping the price is excellent. My only negative comment is the perforations are a pain. After tearing and ruining the first picture I tried different methods to remove them intact. Finally I just cut them out with an X-Acto knife cutting beyond the perforation and then trimming them with scissors.

This book of Fairies is very pretty and there is only one picture on one side of the page. I love that fact because I use markers a lot and they bleed through, therefore a piece of blank paper should be inserted between pages if using markers. The pages are perforated and are very easy to color. The price is very reasonable. I started using this book January 30, 2016, I love it.

I was halfway through this book (using watercolor pencils) when I began looking for a new project. Amazon has a wide variety of coloring books for adults like me who relax by doing two things at once. After evaluating at least a dozen books, I decided that I liked the one I owned best and ordered another copy--like buying the same pair of shoes in two colors. The fairies in this book are feminine and fanciful and are in interesting and detailed natural settings. It will be fun to see how my color palette changes from the first book to the second.

Revealing pics

All of the pictures are printed on single sided, perforated pages, so bored through is not a worry. You can either remove the page, our put a protective page behind the one you're working on. I also love that its printed with gray lines, so they don't show as much after coloring. This first picture I'm posting was done with watercolor pencils, but I didn't stretch and tape the page first, so it got wavy. The rest of the pictures are ones that I didn't see in other reviews.

Lovely colouring book that is suitable for both children and adults. Lovely fairy designs with plenty of detail. More suited to coloured pencil rather than paint.

It's a decent coloring book for adults. The drawings are somewhat cute and the grey lines sort of disappear if you want them to. I'd recommend it if you are a beginner or just color for fun :) All pages are single sided, which is great. Paper is of good quality, with a good " tooth".

Livre de coloriage aux feutres et au crayon impeccable. Feuilles détachable ce qui est pratique car on ne abîme pas les autres qui suivent. Les feuilles sont assez épaisse pour colorier aisément.

Love the pictures. Paper is heavier than most which makes it ok for paint. Only thing I wish it had is more pictures. Darcy May books are generally great. The lines are lighter in colour so they don't take away from your colouring.
