I have been a fan of Joesphine Wall's artwork for years. I own several puzzles and other items which have her full color designs on them. Her artwork is ethereal with beautiful colors swirling around. The cover art on this coloring book is a good representation of what I have seen before. When I saw this book was available, I ordered it immediately. The coloring book is beautiful and well made as expected; however what surprised me most was how differently her artwork appears when the color is removed. Just as beautiful but different. I see the incredible intricate detail that her line art involves. Just a few ink strokes and there is a fairy looking back at me with a face and expression that is unique from the others in the book. I especially love the “Fairy Bubbles” design with the repeating pattern of a young fairy getting smaller and smaller within the infinite reflection of the bubble. I am buying a second book to keep as a coffee table book showing her line art. That way I can color in my book at my less than optimal skill level and still have the lovely original artwork to look at. While I do not recommend this book to anyone who has visual or dexterity issues, I think that anyone with a little experience coloring and who wants a huge challenge can have fun with it. It is certainly appropriate for advanced artists as well. The artwork is very detailed, very intricate and has very small areas to color. Some designs are a little less detailed and those will be the first I will attempt. Part of the challenge of coloring in this book for me will be finding the medium that has a delicate enough tip. The designs are on the right hand side of the book. On the sheet opposite (which is the backside of the previous design), the artist has provided the name of the artwork as well as insight into the subject of the design with a short paragraph explaining the design. It gives context to the design and helps bring it alive. This is what I experienced looking through and testing my coloring medium on the paper (the last page is not a design page and works well for testing.) 45 Detailed and Intricate Fairy Designs by Josephine Wall Printed on one side of the page Design information is printed on the back side of the page Paper is heavy weight, cream color, slightly rough and non-perforated The book has a detached dustcover (inside and attached cover are both left blank.) Sewn binding (easily to remove several pages at a time by snipping threads) Designs have a framing line around the outer edges Alcohol-based markers bleed through the paperweight Water-based markers, India ink pens and gel pens did not bleed through. Gel pens required a bit more drying time. Colored pencils work well with this paper. I was able to get good color and to get deeper pigment by layering the same color. I found that I could layer multiple colors well and easily blend using a pencil style blending stick. This was the case with both oil and wax-based pencils. When I use alcohol-based markers, I also use a blotter page of card stock under my working page. It keeps ink from seeping through to and marring the page below.
