Big Kids Coloring Book

UPDATED, REVISED, and REFRESHED from previous version based on coloring reviews, ideas, and suggestions from readers and colorists

This newer, updated version has crisper lines, bigger pictures in the pages (some of them 9" x 7.5"), and are a mid of hand-drawn doodles and manipulated images that have been kaleidoscoped into beautiful patterns or mandalas.

Attributes of the book: * 60# soft cover paperback book paper weight * non-perforated pages (you can use a razor to cut out of the book, if you wish) * Single-sided pages so you don't have to worry about your coloring media bleeding through and ruining an image on the opposite side of the page * Bonus coloring pages from the author's other coloring books in the back of this book

Coloring books will never lose their appeal - whether you are a pre-kindergarten toddler to the mature adult who is looking for something simple to play with for a solitary pursuit that provides artistic pleasure. This coloring book has the intensity of design in the mandalas, but also the simplicity of simple Zen Doodles that allow the reader (and budding artist) to pick and chose their favorite design, and then use colored pencils, markers, acrylics, or even crayons to add their own brilliant color combinations.

Coloring can be cathartic for those needing something that doesn't take a lot of analysis or thought, while allowing them to pick and chose their personal colors to create an artistic masterpiece. The page of mandalas and Zen Doodles that allow relaxation while you wile away the hours or the day in your own mind.
