Coloring for Adults?

Last December I was thinking of getting my nieces coloring books as part of their gifts to keep them busy, and while I was looking at books I thought to myself, why is it that we only think kids should color? I like coloring too. Why aren't adults coloring?

Turns out we do! I just didn't know about it, but there is a whole different type of coloring book genre for adults. It is supposed to be relaxing and help with stress. So I gave it a try. I bought two books. 

I must say, it takes quite a bit to color one of these pictures. There is so much detail and that is why you end up working on stress. You are so focused on the little nooks and crannies on each image, that you don't think of anything else but staying within the drawing lines. Fine tip markers work best in my opinion. I used colored pencils for most of this butterfly and I think the areas where I did use markers looks better. 

There are so many beautiful images, and when you are done coloring them, you can use them to decorate your environment and also by framing it. Beautiful!


Happy coloring. Fendora
