Art Nouveau Patterns (Creative Haven Coloring Books)

I’ve only colored a few of these, but I like it so far!Art: the patterns are beautiful and fun, with the right amount of detail.Coloring: Creative Haven is great because you know you’re going to get art printed on one side, perforated edges, and fairly good quality paper. This book is the same. I like the size of the artwork because it’s great with tombow markers - sometimes really big areas are difficult to make look consistent, so the smaller patterns are ideal. I haven’t done many because I have to be in the right mood with a lot of patience to do patterns, but I’m looking forward to doing more!Bottom line: quality coloring book, and great if you like coloring patterns

I chose this because I liked the ornate almost abstract designs... but it has quite a few rather simple pictures, & too many with bugs/flowers/birds. I guess I am giving it a poor mark because the cover & example pages didn't represent the actual content of the booklet. Also the paper is a rather low quality and smelled quite strong at first. I had to leave the book out in the porch a few weeks, strategically propped open, to air it out so it wouldn't bother my allergies too much.I would not buy this book again.

Very fun for the coloring craze. I have used Prismacolor Art Markers, Pentel Color Fine Pen markers and Sharpie markers on the pages with much success. The Prismacolor Art Markers are fairly moist and leave the pages a little wrinkled.The pages however, have a glossy finish which is not conducive to colored pencils, though they could be copied and used with colored pencils on the copies.

I did not like the small pieces to the patterns, but that is what makes them interesting. I was expecting more along the lines of Mucha rather than just florals, though.Perhaps this would be good for someone looking for details to color. I thought there was a lot of "white space" in many of the pages, also.

This is a nice book. Interesting patterns, a little unusual if you get tired of mandalas. Nice, just not my favorite. It's a book I go do when I need something "different" and the pictures I have colored come out beautiful.

Have really enjoyed these designs, even more so since I got watercolor pencils and gel pencils as well as regular coloring pencils.

Among the ten coloring books my mother and I have enjoyed, this one ranks as one the best--plenty of intricate and creative designs allowing you to use a panoply of different colors. Great variety in the style of drawings is also refreshing. I highly recommend!

Beautiful designs, from beginner to expert. Extremely cathartic and relaxing. Love this book!

This book is full of various pretty pictures. Adult colouring is becoming very popular, it's a lovely way to relax and unwind, getting rid of the stresses of a hard day.Even using tone and shade with a few graphite pencils instead of colour looks great. Some images can be filled with Zentangle designs for a different look.

Gorgeous patters; great designs to trace for homemade cards. Only downside is the paper is just a bit too think for felt tips. Otherwise fabulous. Marty Noble's books are great.

love the doodle design books ideal for people who's got alzheimers

En dehors du croquis de la couverture et de quelques autres, la majorite des croquis est peu interesante a mon gout. Il est dommage que l'on ne puisse voir une plus grande quantite de pages dans l'apercu - cela m'aurait evite de le renvoyer le jour meme de sa reception. Tres decue.

good
