Wow (Angie's Extreme Coloring Books Volume 1)

My husband purchased this coloring book for me, as an outlet from stress. I was looking for a hobby and this is it! I love it. It's very relaxing, the designs are beautiful. I use colored pencils and put an extra piece of paper under the page I'm coloring to prevent bleed through. Some of the designs have tiny corners, but with using colored pencils it isn't hard to get to them. I was amazed by the amount of pages in this book, it was more than I had expected. Very great buy and would recommend it to anyone looking to find a hobby, being creative, relieving stress etc.

Angie Grace has many great coloring books and this is one of them. The smaller size is perfect for on the go coloring and the designs vary from fairly easy to quite challenging. The paper can take markers with a backing sheet (she also has books just for markers and crayons) as well as pencil. I love her books and will continue to purchase the rest of them.

Angie Grace's 'Wow' coloring book is the third of her series that I have purchased to date. 'Wow' contains 49 designs-a combination of patterns and free-form designs. There are both detailed designs and other, more open concept where a larger tipped pen or crayon would be useful. The designs are single sided but the pages are not perforated for easy removal. Although it has been my experience with all of Angie Grace's books that color marks will bleed slightly through the paper, the paper in this volume is even thinner than the others, with the resulting bleed through. I typically use one of the blank pages in the back of the book as a barrier in-between pages and that protects the next page from any bleeding. Also, the paper in this volume seems to take up color differently than her other volumes I have purchased. I use the '100 Markers' set, purchased through Amazon, and have noticed that the color comes through somewhat streaky and I find myself needing to go over an area more than once to get an even color. The paper quality is the reason I gave this volume a 4-star review; the paper in her other volumes is just better for some reason. However, the paper in this volume is not as poor as some other books and the designs, and the number of designs provided, are superior to most of the books currently on the market, in my opinion.

I like this one because the designs aren't all mandala-like. You don't have to keep coloring the same repeated pattern.

This is a fantastic book which has designs that don't repeat too much and have enough definition to keep you busy without driving you nuts. I primarily use Sakura get pens and the results are truly worth the time. Some pages take me a week or more to complete and when they are done, look professional and satisfying. I've also had great results with copic markers. Great stress reliever!

Bought these for my wife for her birthday. She was over the moon~ The designs are super interesting and draw you in. Got the Nifty, Wow, Mandala, and another Angie Grace book. All of them have more pages (nearly twice as many as others) and much better designs than the other 'adult coloring books' I looked at. Nice paper quality and page size (about 8" x 8") for framing or wall hanging.Angie Grace books + Prismacolor pencil pack = One great birthday

I love to do zen doodling to relieve stress, so when I saw these books I thought I would change up the pace a bit and "color" instead of draw. The patterns are good and there are many to choose from in this authors collection, however the pages are super thin and even the lightest bit of pressure you put on the page with your marker... bleeds through to the next page. IF you choose a book from this collection, I recommend you use color pencils. ANY pen / marker bleeds right through these thin pages. This collection is the only one I have books from, so I am not sure about other products and their quality; just this one. Hope this helps.

As with all Angie Grace books, its excellent. She has about 10 out there now, my only complaint is that her publisher uses the MOST AWFUL paper, its so thin if you push with a pencil it will break thru. All my Angie Grace books I have to cut out the pages and copy onto cardstock... seriously out of all the books I have ( and I have close to 75 I think) her books have THE WORST PAPER ! If I were the author I would get after my publisher and push for better paper..

Rather disappointed with this colouring book. The designs are interesting but the paper is very thin. I colour with gel pens therefore not the best scenario. I would only recommend this book if you colour with crayons.

I love the Angie Grace designs. Some very intricate but a refreshing change from usual mandala patterns. I have at least 3 of these and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Great quality paper and neat little books.

Die komplexen und aufwendigen Designs von Angie Grace sind eine Augenweide! Es macht mir immer wieder Freude, mich für ein Bild zu entscheiden und es durch die Art der Farbgebung zu interpretieren. So vieles lässt sich in jeder der Zeichnungen entdecken. Das quadratische Format gefällt mir ebenso wie die Aufmachung des Buches. Das Papier wirkt auf den ersten Blick dünn, ist aber auch für Fasermaler und Marker geeignet. Ich selbst benutze Tombow Pinselmarker. Diese hinterlassen zwar geringe Spuren auf der Rückseite, aber das stört nicht, weil das Buch einseitig bedruckt ist.Besonders schön: Angie Grace betreut eine eigene Gruppe auf Facebook. Hier zeigen und bewundern Leute aus aller Welt ihre Kolorationen und tauschen sich über Material und Techniken aus.

Nice designs. There are better books for a bit more money with regard to diversity of design and paper quality.

These books that Angie Grace does are the best colouring books I have found. I use them if I am struggling to sleep. Do one every night complete, then go to bed and sleep. Patterns are just right.
