Secrets Beneath the Leaves - Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

I received product for review from Vivid Owl Coloring.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services.  Your opinions and results may differ.

As many of you know I jumped on the bandwagon and took up the hobby of adult coloring books.  I discovered a love for it last October and have been hooked since.  I've found that coloring is calming and brings down my stress level. I have a tiered container full of gel pens, markers and colored pencils that have been used upon many coloring pages. My sister and mother are just as addicted. We are not alone in this; adult coloring books have become quite the rage.

One company that I've come across and really like is Vivid Owl Coloring, based out of Finland, and one of their adult coloring books is Secrets Beneath the Leaves.

This particular adult coloring book includes 32 fully hand-illustrated designs, inspired by the beauty of nature and the human body. All images are original and hand-drawn, with a range of complexity, suitable from beginner to more advanced colorists.

Each page is one-sided, meaning the illustrations are only on one side.  There are small images on the other sides but, due to their size, they're meant more for viewing rather than coloring.  I'd prefer if the pages were perforated but there's still enough leeway on each one to carefully cut or tear them out without cutting into the design.  The paper quality the book is favorable for coloring pencils, pens, markers, and other utensils.

I have gotten much enjoyment out of coloring in this book.  Some designs are more intricate than others, but they're all skillfully arranged.  The illustrations depict people and objects hidden in leaves and trees.  Some of the pictures are provocative, so I'd say it's not a book for those who are against erotic poses.  I've taken a couple of the pictures and hung them on my artwork wall, and am excited to finish the others in the book for completion.  

 

I definitely recommend this adult coloring books, as well as the others that are available, to purchase as gifts for the enthusiast or for yourself as a source of relaxation.

Vivid Owl Coloring will be releasing another adult coloring book sometime this year and you can purchase five of the FLOW Artistic Coloring Designs on Etsy right now.
