Rooms of Wonder: Step Inside This Magical Coloring Book

Beautiful artwork, fun pictures. Full of ideas to sketch on my own.

I LOVE these coloring books! The pictures are beautiful and so unique! I really love Rooms of Wonder and I have a couple other books by this artist! You won’t be disappointed! Paper quality is thick and great for those that use markers! Great for relaxing and being creative!

My absolute favorite of her coloring books. Such cute designs

Best coloring book I’ve ever owned. The detail is great and there’s a lot of variety in different objects to color. Pages are not super thick and most markers will show on the backside of the page but other than that it’s PERFECT!

Love her books. Interesting pictures and perfect paper quality

*Images: I love that this is filled with many wonderfully fun, different rooms to explore. It's just so relaxing to spend time in each room getting lost in the adventure. What a joy! The images are fairly intricate but not so much that you can't get good shading and blends on many of the pages. There are still some images that are so tiny blending/shading would be impossible. I love those pages that don't have rooms but have separate images to color for when time is short. I just have to say though, I really dislike the wallpaper, mandela and filler pages. As always, the images are printed on both sides of the page making alcohol markers unusable unless one doesn't mind sacrificing a page or even 2 if you don't use blotter paper in between. (I do think this less toothy paper would be a pleasure to use with alcohol markers, especially the bullet nib kind.) Printing: I know that Basford's most recent book had some printing issues, but this book does not have the double lines at all. Those errors seem to be contained to a batch or 2 in the Small Victories book. (I'm waiting until those issues are ironed out before purchasing.) *Paper: I prefer Joann's older creamy, toothy paper, but the quality of this paper is quite good too. She said her usual paper became unavailable so she chose the same paper used in the Kerby Rosanes' books. As you can see in the photo above, I tried many different brands and media to test on the paper. I preferred Polychromos and other oil based colored pencils, like Pablo & Koh-i-noir, on this paper over the creamier wax based brands, like Prisma & Black Widow. I didn't do a lot of layers because the size of the images were too small, but I did do some burnishing and erasing without any issues. The paper held up well to multiple techniques. The Arteza Real Brush Pens and Ohuhu water based markers either bled through or ghosted. I was able to use watercolor pencils with small amounts of water without any buckling of the paper at all, but I did keep the water to a minimal dampness. Value: I bought on a 3 for 2 sale so I got a it at a great price point. *Overall: This is a fun book, in Basford's typical classy and imaginative style. I love it. *Note: I subtracted 1/2 star for paper and 1/2 star for filler, wallpaper type images.

I love, love, love this book. Her pages are so fun to color. I have all her books.

Just the sizes on her other coloring books threw me off because my first one was small victories the other ones are completely huge with huge designs inside.

This is a lovely book on really nice paper.

loved this book!!! but just know that this book doesn't have the same paper quality as world of flower, because Johanna said US doesn't produce those papers anymore?

So lovely book ! A dream to color !

大きな絵というよりかは、小さい小物の塗り絵
