5 out of 5 stars One of the best adult coloring books   October 3, 2008
I have several of the adult coloring books, from sealife to flowers to several of the famous artist series, including Van Gogh, the Impressionists, Monet, etc. I just recieved this book and am impressed that it is two or three times the size of all of the other books, making it a good value. Each page has a picture on one side and is blank on the other side, which means that one can make good use of each picture, without impressions from coloring one side going through to the other side. There were a few pictures that were duplicates from some of my other coloring books, but only a very few.


5 out of 5 stars Recommend for all ages - increases appreciation for the classics   August 2, 2008

This is a great color book. It took me awhile to get started on it because I was a bit overwhelmed by the "classicness" of the pictures. How could I ever do justice to these great artist? But then I started just having fun with it. Sometimes I try to stay with the artists color patterns but sometimes I do my own; I kind of dolled up the Mona Lisa.
It's a high quality book, I highly recommend it.

Who says you can't complete a masterpiece?

For just a few dollars, you can be Picasso! Pick up your crayons, colored pencils or whatever you wish, and repeat the choices of the Masters, or show Grant Wood how it really should be done with some choices of your own. (I've always suspected that those American Gothic folks would look a bit more cheerful with auburn hair!)

Fun and educational!

Wonderful book! I like the summaries of the artist, the orginal pictures for examples, and the amount of detail for a beginner to moderate colorer is not too much. I bought this book for myself (44 years old), Dad (82) and Mother (78). This will be the Christmas gift this year for everyone in my family.

Iknow there aren't many out there who enjoy coloring at my age, but it is a very relaxing hobby while watching TV in the evenings. This book is fun and has great variety.
