Creative Haven Art Nouveau Designs Coloring Book: Relax & Find Your True Colors (Adult Coloring Books: Art & Design)

Beautiful coloring book!

Great pictures. So fun to color.

The media could not be loaded.  This is a book of gorgeous designs by Alphonse Mucha which have been rendered into coloring book form by Ed Sibbett, Jr. The book includes many of my most favorite Mucha designs and it will be a real joy to color them.While this is the first time Creative Haven has published this work in their colorist friendly format, Dover has previously published this book as “Art Nouveau Figurative Designs” which is now out of print. That book contained six additional designs which are not include in this book. As the standard format for Creative Haven is 31 designs, that may be why there are less.I purchased this book and the one by Pomegranate at the same time. While they share some of the basic designs, the rendering is quite different. Also, Creative Haven has 31 designs while Pomegranate has 22. I like each for different reasons and will be really happy to be able to color the designs of one of my favorite artists.All of my gel pens and markers bleed through on Creative Haven books to varying degrees. I use chip board, cardstock, or even freezer paper in between the sheets (if I am keeping it in the book) or under the page if I remove it from the book.There are 31 designs in this coloring book which are printed on bright white perforated paper that is a fairly heavy stock. The designs are printed on one side of the page only and the binding is glued rather than sewn. I usually like to remove my projects from the books to work on and I love that Creative Haven always makes it easy for me to do so.

I would not say it’s quality premium paper but it is bright white. you will likely bleed through. Also some pages were still stuck together at the top and to take them apart You may rip some of the paper. it’s not anything you can actually hang or frame but for $5 It’s a coloring book. i can’t really be too picky, i guess. Feel a little tricked. Just know what you might get.

This coloring book brings me so much joy!Art: the drawings are fantastic. They’re gorgeous, pretty true to Mucha’s pieces, but also adjusted to be better for coloring (clear edges, a little less detail so it’s easier to color). If you love Mucha, you’ll love this.Coloring: Creative Haven is great for always printing on one side, perforated edges, and fairly good paper (thick enough that it doesn’t wrinkle with markers, not super porous). The lines are also pretty clean considering it’s hand-drawn. I use tombow markers and have been able to successfully use the indirect method without causing the paper to pill. The photo I’ve attached of the iris piece is indirect, which creates a watercolor look. I’d like to try actual watercolors with this book because that would work well for Mucha’s art, but I’m a little nervous about how the paper will do. Maybe I’ll buy a second just to try it!Bottom line: this is one of my all-time favorite coloring books and a joy to color.

The pictures are recreations of Art Nouveau images, and are really well done. The book came to me in good condition. For anyone who has mastered coloring a large area smoothly, this will be a great book.I love the Art Nouveau look, but I'll probably just keep this as an "art book" rather than attempt the images, but that is purely a matter of my low tolerance for inky streaks, and even when I use colored pencils softly in teeny circles, I end up with some uneven-ness.So this is a five star book that lost a star only because of my personal skill-set.(To give you an idea, I got the Insanely Intricate Entangled Landscapes at the same time, and that's about perfect for me)

Love this book. I’ve started coloring with the book from the same manufacturer: Art Nouveau Mandalas. But I was always fascinated with Alphonse Mucha's art and couldn't wait to try this one. The paper is sturdy, good for both sharpies and color pencils. Pictures printed on one side. Some details are missing from the pictures, but it gives you opportunity for your own creativity, and makes the book great for all coloring levels.

Beautiful coloring book. If using markers make sure to have a paper behind the current page you are using. The paper tends to bleed.

As advertised perfect gift for Christmas and very warmly thanked .Well packaged and received more swiftly than advised (thank you) . Will have no hesitation in using/recommending you in the future .

I love these Alfons Mucha inspired designs. Beautiful women in classic poses. The paper takes most pencils well. And the designs are prints on one side in case you want to frame your finished images.

excellent

wonderful designs to colour or use as stencils

Good reproduction of fabulous designs.
