If you are looking for a stress reliever, check out this coloring book. It was a purely restful hour, one of those peaceful and relaxing moments that bring back memories of childhood. Just the title page took me a little over an hour to color. The pages are whimsical and elicit thoughts of my own garden. Personally, I decided to use pencil crayons over markers because I found that pencil crayons come in many different shades of green and we had tons of them left over from when the kids were in elementary school. There are even pages where you can finish the drawings yourself, so be creative. The pages are beautifully drawn and the book is a kind of treasure hunt where you look for things hidden in all of the doodles. I'm not sure if the salesclerk told me that just to get me to buy the book, but it really doesn't matter what language this book is in - it is a coloring book for adults or really artistic and patient kids. I purchased the French version of the Secret Garden coloring book because my local bookstore ran out of the English version and as an added bonus, I was told that the French version also had 2 posters to color. If you loved DoodleArt, then you will absolutely enjoy the Secret Garden Coloring book. The art in my books is super-intricate.Are any of you old enough to remember DoodleArt? These were posters that you colored in with markers and if you were lucky, those markers lasted long enough to complete the entire poster. Now it is socially acceptable, it’s a category of its own. So many people have said to me that they used to do secret colouring in when their kids were in bed.
For many people a blank sheet is very daunting – with a colouring book you just need to bring the colour. “I think it is really relaxing, to do something analogue, to unplug,” Basford said in April. Brits “appear to have adopted colouring as a form of relaxation,” according to Amazon.
Three more colouring books are included in Amazon’s top 20 book titles of the year so far - The Art Therapy Colouring Book, The Mindfulness Colouring Book and Secret Garden. There are currently four adult colouring titles in .uk’s top 10, with the online retailer revealing on Tuesday that Millie Marotta’s Animal Kingdom is its second bestselling title of the year to date, behind cookbook Deliciously Ella.
