Stress-Free (Pink)

I recently did a really complicated color by number poster with colored pencils and realized I enjoyed using those more than markers. I brought a number of cool-looking coloring books and came up short. I had no idea what colors to use. (Probably shouldn't have bought a set of 150 pencils to start with.)Since I enjoyed the poster I'd done, I bought some other color by number books next, including this one. Two others have really cool designs but you have to work with 15-20 different colors, which is a lot to handle at once.This book has 4-6 color recommendations at the bottom of each page. At first I thought that was too limited but once I tried a couple I decided it was a good way to ramp up my skills. It does fill in a few bits of the recommended colors on some drawings (but not all). I could live without that.Once I got more comfortable, I started choosing different colors completely or livening up the variety with different shades of the recommended colors. I've really enjoyed how a number of these turned out.I'd say I enjoyed coloring about half the pages in this book. I'm not really into animals or industrial designs. And some just had such wide areas for one color (like a watering can) that I preferred not to use half of one of my pencils coloring it in.I just ordered the two other books in the series. The Green one is great but I'm less impressed by the Yellow one. I'll review those separately.

Love the color by numbers because I don't have to put in the extra thought about what colors to use and when. I also enjoy the spiral binding that eliminates annoying folding of other pages. I do put a sheet or two between the pages I'm coloring and the next page to prevent bleeding, but the pages are fairly thick and one-sided, which is nice when using markers.

I like this book I like color by number but the pictures are almost too large. There’s not a lot of detail I like real and different stuff where I can you know almost used dots of color to put everything together on the page where is my neighbor has very poor vision and this would be exceptional for her so I’ll probably gift it to her the next time I head next-door, which will be later this evening or tomorrow but anyway, it is a nice book because it’s spiral bound so you’re not trying to hold the book open or anything and you can actually sit flat on whatever surface you’re on, so I think she’ll really like it

I've bought almost all of the Brain Games Color by Number books, and I like the designs in this one the best. I enjoy coloring while I'm watching TV, but I'm not good at choosing colors, so that made it stressful. These books take all the stress out of it, and I can just enjoy coloring. I only wish that there were good designs on every page - some of the designs just don't fit the category, and I will never color them.

Great color variation.

This was a great reintroduction into coloring. You don’t need to think about what color to use other than trying to match their color with your crayons. I didn’t always have one even close, even though I have over 100 different ones. But the end result is still beautiful. Great paper quality and great drawings that range from quick ones to more time consuming ones. The binding is great as it’s almost impossible to tear a page out unless you want to. I have only used pencils so I can only attest to the fact that the numbers rarely go away. It didn’t matter to me but if it does to you either try using markers or look for a different book.

Wish I could get bigger number

Perfect for coloring with gel pens. Paper is nice and heavy so ink doesn’t bleed through.

J aime beaucoup ce livre les dessins sont pas très long à faire la qualité du papier est top je ne regrette pas mon achat

cientos de horas puedes disfrutar coloreando los diferentes dibujos que trae

Ótimo para quem não tem criatividade para colorir ou até mesmo apenas para quem quer tirar um tempo para pintar.

When I bought it I thought it was a bit expensive for what it offers. 9€ for 27 small drawings with cheap paper seemed like a lot when I can get for instance a Hanna Karlzon book for 12€ with about 96 drawings on good paper. I thought I would give it a try because I liked the spiral bound and I wanted something to draw mindlessly sometimes. Overall I am happy I did though. The spiral is very convenient to keep the book flat and not take much space (wonder why we don't have more spiral bound colouring books). I also like that the drawings need only 5 or 6 colours per page and the colouring experience is really relaxing. Some of the pages can be coloured very quickly and some take a little bit longer but no page so far needed more than a couple of hours. I don't like that some of the colour hues are very weird and unique. I have a total of 352 colouring pencils (3 different sets) and for some colours I can't find a match. I find a similar colour to use so it's not a big deal but I think it is a bit annoying. I was also not impressed by the fact that some areas in almost all designs are already coloured. Why would my colouring book come pre-coloured? I thought it was a weird and unique choice as I have never seen any other colouring book come with pre-coloured parts.

Enjoying this kind of relaxing hobby.
