Pattern and Design Coloring Book (Jenean Morrison Adult Coloring Books)

Jenean Morrison does it again!I only colored a few pages into Pattern and Design Volume #1 before I knew I had to buy #2. I really enjoy these books. They have a little bit for everyone (easy, challenging, mandalas, paisleys, geometric, flowers etc). The designs are well drawn and really fun to color.Of course they are one-sided so you can color with markers without worrying about ruining the back. As with most paper, markers will probably bleed so put something behind the page you are coloring and you should be fine. I personally like coloring on cardstock so this isn't an issue.Ultra fine Bic Mark Its work great! I've also used ultra fine Sharpies. Gel pens look pretty snazzy too!I haven't even finished the book yet but I will keep a hopeful eye out for a Volume 3 :)

Loving this book! The paper quality is maybe a touch thin (my markers partially bleed through) but I just stick a scrap page underneath the page I'm coloring to prevent any damage to the underlying page. It holds up well enough though. I don't expect super high quality paper at this price point and I only color for kicks anyway. The designs' printing is crisp and clear. There are images of varying difficulty level but they all leave enough room for a wide variety of interpretations on how to color. It's currently my favorite coloring book and I'm looking forward to picking up more from this artist!

I absolutely love anything by Jenean Morrison! Her coloring books are incredible, I have several. Her designs are amazing and will easily keep you entertained for hours. She is creative and it shows in every one of her pictures, which are only printed on one side of the paper! She also has notebooks and journals for sale that are so well put together; making any art project or design project, so simple to lay out ...or, because of the different sizes, you can carry them everywhere with you and use them to doodle, take notes, write stories, poetry, journaling, etc....

I take pages from this book along with color pencils to appointments and other places where I have some wait time. Everyone who sees these pages and the colors comments very favorably. I find the coloring to be calming and I am getting better at planning out the color schemes and concentrating on it and other chores as well. A fine way to pass the time and have a nice item for display later on.

This book is just ok - if you like this author's style, you'll probably be a fan of this book. I find a lot of the patterns in here very repetitive and difficult to color (lots of patterns with overlapping elements). But my main grief with this book is the paper quality. It's just not good! If you're using markers, they bleed like crazy, not just through the back of hte page (not a big deal to me because this is single-sided printed and I'll use a blank sheet of paper as a blotter) but your markers will bleed all over the lines too! The extra fine tipped sharpies and bic markers work well and won't bleed over the lines as the tip is so fine, but your typical fine Bic or Sharpie markers WILL bleed like crazy (and you'll need to use these because there are some big areas to color.

(Same review as the other one of the series I bought) I love this book my only "problem" is after I'm done I want to do it again highlighting different parts. The pages are sturdy, they take color from my variety of markers and pencils. Only one wish, please perforate the pages, it is hard to rip them out smoothly.A word about the cost, before I received these (i bought 2, different ones) I was biting my nails hopping I had not wasted 20 dollars. I didn't, the book is very thick with lots of different patterns.

I am 25 years old and I wont lie I love to color. I find it to be relaxing after a long days work. This book has many different designs which allows for all kinds of color options and patterns. Would recommend for the older child up to adults. Not for very young children as there are small spaces to be colored. Great with markers rather then crayons.

Some designs are repetitious, some designs are interesting, depending on color and placement of choice. Lots of variety to go with my many moods. I use Sharpies so a few smaller spaces are tough to get, but coloring outside the lines is part of the fun.

I love colouring in of an evening I find it really relaxing and this has to be one of the best books I have brought nice thick paper and lots of different designs, I shall be buying the other one

A nice patterned book to colour...

I love these. I find repetitive patterns more relaxing after a chaotic day.

Great - thank you

good selection of patterns
