Holly PHolly P: This is a beautiful coloring book. The images are all similar in style to the cover, some pages have quotes on them. The paper is very white for watercolor paper and very smooth with no real tooth. I’ve only played a little bit, but so far the paint/water does not bleed through to the back or warp the image. Update - I originally had in the title “but pages double sided and not perforated”. Now that I have worked with it I know neither of these are an issue. The images on the front and back are the same so you don’t lose any images and actually could try an image again if you don’t like your first stab at it. Also, though the pages aren’t perforated they are held together like notepads where the page easily detaches from the binding (I know there is a term for this form of binding, but can’t remember it). The pages come out with no problem and even though I have taken a page or two from the middle it is still holding together the well. I have added some pictures, I am just playing with watercoloring so you can see what they look like in the hands of a complete amateur. The last three are just practice/experiments, the first two are more like finished projects.

A: Das Buch kam pünktlich und unbeschädigt.
Der Umschlag ist toll, er ist sehr stabil schützt die Seiten gut und hat noch ein paar Maltipps dabei.
Die Autorin hat sich die Mühe gemacht und für jedes einzelnde Bild einen Maltipp gegeben z.B welche Maltechnik sie empfehlen würde. Außerdem ist bei diesen Tipps auch der Name der Pflanze zu finden sollte man mal nicht wissen um welche Blume es sich hier handelt.

Mir persönlich gefällt der Malstil von Kristy Rice sehr gut, ich verstehe aber auch Menschen denen die Linien nicht konkret genug sind.
Es gibt oft Stellen, da ist man nicht genau sicher wie weit geht das Blatt, ist das jetzt noch Blume oder schon Stängel-für Aquarellmalerei ist diese Art der Linien allerdings sehr schön nutzbar.

Ich habe schon mit viel Wasser auf dem Blatt gearbeitet, hat sehr gut geklappt. Die Stärke des Papiers ist auch in Ordnung, könnte noch etwas besser sein aber es macht auf jeden Fall Spaß damit zu arbeiten.

Denke ich werde mir bei Zeiten noch weitere Ausmalbücher von Kristry Rice bestellen.

MelissaMelissa: The media could not be loaded.  What did I like the least? I am an artist, but have never tried watercolor. There’s nothing that I liked least. In fact, it’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen.

My video is quick, but I am loving this new medium. I apply the pigment with a watercolor brush pen, and then I use water and a brush. The paper isn’t what you would expect, but it holds water well. I just love this book!

I also attached photos of 2 of my "finished" paintings

A. Alvarez: Me encantan las ilustraciones, sin embargo el papel no me encantó, no puedes trabajar mucho tiempo el color, el papel empieza a deformarse, pero una vez seco se ve hermoso.

Tikki Mars: I was skeptical of this book as generally speaking people use the word watercolor paper very loosely. But the paper was alright. It isn't artist quality watercolor paper so paint behaves differently but it's acceptable. The main reason that I got this was to do some simple relaxing coloring with watercolor. It is perfect for that as it lowers the bar for painting as I don't have to sketch something first. The designs are beautiful. Some pages are a bit intricate so are a bit difficult to paint the detail with a brush but people with steadier hands and more patience should be ok. I plan on using a marker or watercolor pencil for the lines. I am happy with the purchase overall.

MARÍA TERESA: Los dibujos muy bonitos, el libro es precioso y aunque el papel podría ser mejor aguanta perfectamente acuarelas, es cartulina con el mismo diseño en cada lado de la hoja, por lo que lo puedes hacer primero todos los diseños una vez y una vez terminado volver a hacerlos y ver la evolución al colorear. El envío llego antes de lo esperado, muy satisfecha.

LemonBasil: So I was super psyched for this book to arrive and immediately cracked into it with my Pentel Aquash brushes and a tiny set of pans. In about 30 seconds, half my first page was in tatters- paper pilling terribly. So bummed! I was like "How is everyone else raving about this book? This paper is horrid."

"OK maybe it's just me, let's go to YouTube." I watched all the videos on there and DEFINITELY had better success.
I found once I changed over to a really soft #10 squirrel brush, things really improved. The weight of this paper is around 110 lb,
I initially went with light washes only, as I would on a 110lb Canson XL mixed media type paper.
Really I think the paper needs quite a bit more water to serve as barrier/lubricant to help protect against brush damage.
Yes, it buckles slightly with more water, but it does flatten out. You can definitely make it work once you have a little experience with how to avoid the pilling. I would probably pick your least favorite page to start with until you get the feel for it.
I have a set of inexpensive Creative Mark Squirrel Brushes from Jerrys that worked fine.
I just splurged on some Silver Brush Black Velvets...
