Paintly Days Patterns Coloring Book for Watercolors!

We all know how popular the adult coloring books are.  They are fun and a great way to de-stress.

Author and Artist Kristy Rice has put together a series of 3 coloring books for watercolor!  If painting is your passion, these books are perfect!

The pages are thick watercolor paper.  They are double sided so you can practice on one side and then paint on the other side for keeps.  There is no bleedthrough.
The front and back covers pull out and have tutorials, art supply suggestions, a color wheel, and artistic inspiration.
It has easy tear out pages and they are the perfect size for framing.
The outlines disappear as you paint.

Here is an example of 2 designs in the book:

Here are 2 more pages from the book.  There are several that have quotes or sayings.  These would be awesome to print and frame.

Super Sunday Reviews --Pigments of Your Imagination

Pigments of Your Imagination--Creating with Alcohol Inks is by Cathy Taylor and published by Schiffer.  Published February 3, 2015.

I have seen art such as  what is in this book and have always thought it was so cool and pretty.  I had never heard of alcohol inks until receiving the book.
I immediately thought of my 2 youngest daughters.  One who loves to draw and is good at it.  The other is very craftsy, always finding projects on pinterest to do with her children.

Pigments of Your Imagination is set up into 6 sections:  Simply Start, Special Effects, Ink-Scapes, Flora and Fauna-Scapes, Fabric Effects, and Everything Else.
Also included are dedication, foreward, introduction, finding your muse, materials and tools, about alcohol inks, gallery, glossary, resources, guest artists, acknowledgements, and about the authour sections.

Here is one of the pages from the Flora and Fauna-Scapes section:

Each section is full of vibrant illustrations and well written, clear instructions.

As a quilter, the Fabric Effects section interests me the most.  I look forward to being able to buy the supplies needed and give designing my own fabrics a try!
