Secret Garden Artist's Edition: 20 Drawings to Color and Frame Paperback – Import, 15 September 2015

Quite simply marvellous. This is a no-nonsense colouring book printed on thick stock paper suitable for all kinds of mediums. (Acrylics, please be a little careful and keep a sheet under the page) It consists of a selection of drawings from her Secret Garden. Do remember that this is a no fuss colouring book, so there is not front page, no contents page et al. You open the book and start colouring from the first page right until the end. There have been some comments that a spiral binding would have been better. Yes, that is true but I found the binding quite all right. Once done you can simply tear off the page and frame it. The printing is beautiful, the page quality is great and the illustrations are off course, enchanting.

muy bonito :) y la edición es para hacer regalos.

Melhor do que esperava. A espessura do papel é incrível: aceita várias técnicas de colorido, do lápis às tintas. As folhas podem ser destacadas podendo ser emolduradas em bonitos quadros. O tamanho do livro é bem maior do que os livros normais da série. O único porém é que algumas ilustrações do livro normal que ocupam página dupla foram divididas pela metade uma vez que as ilustrações foram impressas somente na página da direita sem nada no verso. Mas mesmo assim é incrível e recomendo.

this book is fabulous, I can use my alchohol markers without them bleeding through the paper and each page is its own. You can take each one color them and then frame. I love the idea of doing this because I love sharing my master pieces with everyone who comes to visit. I have the coloring book edition and it is beautiful also, but who brings out their coloring books and shows them to people, not me. The price point is awesome also. I have looked at buying this book at the book store and other places and they were priced 30$ up. I recommend this to anyone who loves to color and share their hard work. It's a definite buy!!

The media could not be loaded. At last! A beautiful set of artist's edition coloring prints based on Johanna Basford's fantastic coloring book adventure "Secret Garden". In the artist's edition, there are 20 beautiful prints. The format is larger than the original book at approximately 10 x 13 inches. The paper is a great weight cardstock and best of all: the prints are printed only on the front of the page. Yay! No more choices of which side or design you want to color or having to buy a second book (unless you want to, of course.)A quick check showed that my pencils, gel pens, and all markers worked well without any ink leaching through. If I decide to use watercolors, I would probably still place a sheet of freezer paper or heavy stock paper between the pages or remove the page from the book just in case something leaks through.The designs are filled with intricate details and are a mix of ones that are centered with lots of blank space around them and others that bring the design edge-to-edge. There won't be a problem with getting into the last little bits as these designs are easily pulled out from the booklet form. The publisher put these in a format that makes it easy to color, pull apart, and then frame should you wish to do so.I am so thrilled that the artist and publisher have heard and listened to the requests of those of us who love her work. I hope to see further editions of artist's sets - both for the "Secret Garden" and for the "Enchanted Forest" and any future coloring books Ms. Basford designs.I further hope that other artists and publishers take note of how appreciated this style of book is for colorists. We spend a lot of time and money with our hobby and want good materials. Designs can be very pretty but if they are difficult to work with, a lot of us will simply pass.As Ms. Basford's original book set the high standard for adult coloring books to follow, this artist's edition sets another standard for high quality, coloring sets suitable for framing.

Amo gli album da colorare di Johanna Basford ed apprezzo questa idea originale di crearne uno con fogli da incorniciare. Lo consiglio
