Free Spirit Coloring Book (Coloring is Fun) (Design Originals) 32 Whimsical & Quirky Art Activities from Thaneeya McArdle on High-Quality, Extra-Thick Perforated Pages that Resist Bleed-Through

The media could not be loaded. This coloring book includes 32 fun and different designs that speak to the unusual spirit in each of us. Some of the designs have messages – such as “Stay Weird” (something that I, as an ex-Austinite of many years, can appreciate.) From dream catchers to unicorns to magic lanterns, this is a cute and fun new coloring book by Thaneeya McArdle.In addition to the designs, the artist has included lessons in drawing, patterning, color techniques and media (including shading) as well as basic color theory at the front of the book, along with some great color examples (some of which I will show in my attached photos.) The lessons are generic to the color book line but the samples are specific to the designs in this book.The pages are white and are perforated for easy removal. The designs are printed on one side only with lovely quotes on the back. The quotes have to do with being in touch with your own spirit, soul, and desires. Below the quotes are lines which the colorist can use to journal their own thoughts and feelings.All of my markers and gel pens wick through these pages. If I use either of them, I will put a piece of thicker paper or freezer paper under the page I am working on to keep the following page from getting ink on it.

This is a fun, energetic coloring book! It is full of great pictures for all ages and is filled with inspirational quotes and sayings. Each page is single sided with a quote on the back side. This ensures any bleed through is not going to ruin a picture on the back. I do recommend putting some extra paper as a barrier just the same. The pages are also perforated so they can be removed easily for coloring outside the book, or even framing. The printing is crisp and clear making the final product as beautiful as it can be. The beginning of the book discusses different drawing techniques and shows colored examples of many pictures. I'm very please with this purchase and my daughter loves coloring in it.

I LOVE this book! First, I enjoyed the tips and techniques presented in a clear and concise matter, and also some sampled colored pages, showing the colors used (and later on, you find out the mediums used for each picture). Suspected the rest of the book would be shortened, but not at al!!! 32 designs to color on super quality nicer paper, and the pages are perforated; a plus for sure! I would say the images have average details. Very suitable for markers. Single sided pages of course; however, DO put a page or two behind the page you are coloring with markers, as there will definitely still be some bleed with alcohol markers.

High quality

Free Spirit Coloring Book (Coloring Is Fun) These books by Thaneeya Mcardle are so much fun. I have four of her books and plan to eventually get more. The artwork is beautiful but not so intricate that a person with bad eyes wouldnt be able to color them. Some pages are more challenging than others but still not hard on the eyes. The pages are one sided and the paper quality is quite good. I've used only pencils and gel pens. With markers you may want to put a paper underneath to protect the next page.

Free Spirit was the first coloring book I bought. I enjoyed it. The prints are on one side and there are perforations to remove each page.i appreciate that very much. I like to remove the page before I color it. The designs were OK, but some had outlines that were too light.

This book is high quality, thick paper, with designs printed only on one side. The designs are beautiful and fun. I was looking for a coloring book that could hold up to acrylic paints. This book does the job. I put wax paper behind the page to protect from bleed through, but it wasn't necessary as none of the acrylic paints have bled through the paper. I plan to order other books from this artist.

Love it! First time purchasing an adult coloring book and I love it! I like how the first few pages give pointers and samples of color hues that compliment each other. These pages are easy to tear out and have quotes/sayings on the back of every page. Pictures are one sided and pages are not thin, I am very happy with my purchase !!

I have always loved this ladies designs, I find her simply flowing creations so calming, occupying and adaptable (sometimes I have so many ideas for one pattern I will either try and trace it again, photocopy it or easier just buy the book again!)The paper is of the perfect quality that doesn't cause pen colouring to be absorbed to the point where it then spreads or soils the page, and Thaneeya provides inspirational ideas for some of the patterns throughout the book too.Keep producing please! Unicorns and mystical/fairy designs would be appreciated

As a lover of anything Native American Indian, this was a must have for me. It's beautiful and I can't wait to start it. So many pictures to colour, so little time ( it just races away) to do more but my walls are looking absolutely stunning and a great talking point, my cares love them and as sure as hell so do I.

Fun designs, simple enough to relax but detailed enough to keep my interest. Perforated pages are a bonus for easier coloring. I'm using a variety of hard, semi hard, and soft pencils and they all work well. Design Originals collection of coloring books are great for beginners and more experienced colorers.

Love Thaneeya McArdlw books. One sided and easy to tear out. Really enjoy these books as they are quirky and different.

Mixtre of lettering designs and a variety of different patience levels.Found the colour guide/wheel very helpful to explain mixing colours to my 7yr old daughter.
