Worlds of Wonder: A Colouring Book for the Curious

The media could not be loaded. I love this colouring book, it was a Christmas present for myself. Lovely pictures, thick enough paper to use either of pencils or watercolours. Not sure about pens or markers. Not brilliant white but not quite cream either. Perhaps same as „World of Flowers“ and „Johanna’s Christmas“, not as dark as „Secret Garden“ and „Enchanted Forest“ About 80 pages inside (40 sheets, both sides).Get it and enjoy!

I honestly can't believe someone the awful reviews here! Not every theme is going to suit everyone so just because it's not to your taste, it does not make it a terrible book and considering some 'fans' of Johanna's are being so awful, that shows a lot. The paper is an off white, which allows white highlights to be made, takes a small amount of wet media well, although a little less than previous books, the images have lots of variety and interest with purposely more background space to allow for more creativity, while not being too empty so as to look bare. The pages are cute and have a mix of both detailed and simpler images, and the small '10 minute' projects on the small items pages are a staple to allow someone who only has a small amount of time to colour each day a sense of fulfilment by being able to complete a full mini image. There is everything from the mandalas, super detailed spreads, mini projects, animals, vehicles, and little worlds to explore! Recommended to any colouring fan!

It is truly a beautiful colouring book from the introduction to the last page. The paper is great quality. It's not pure white which is what I wanted but once colour was on the page it wasn't an issue.

Beautiful book and a perfect gift for anyone arty. Lovely quality with beautiful pictures. Delivery was super quick! Ordered Sunday afternoon and was delivered Monday morning

I have all Johanna's books, and personally I can't see anything to dislike about them. What I don't like to see in a colouring book is when the artist has drawn something with so much pattern and detail that the object is practically black before starting. In Joanna's books, there may be the odd few insects similar to this, but otherwise you can get to a page and clearly plan your colouring.I also hate colouring books full of mandellas. Again, you do see some in Johanna's books, but there is also plenty of other things going on. Johanna's aim is to get more people into colouring for varying reasons and I would advise anyone to follow her. She does live videos showing hints and tips on how to colour and draw and even if her style isn't yours (she does stipulate we are all different) I defy anyone who is a beginner or casual colourist to say they've not learned anything from her. A lovely lady, a lovely tutor and lovely books. Oh, and for the ones saying that there are lots of white spaces, they are there for the colourist to add their own drawings to colour. Have you see her How to Draw Inky Wonderlands book? You should look at that too! Get on board with Johanna!

The colouring book is beautiful. My 8 year old will love it! Unfortunately it was damaged during packaging I imagine. Its a pity as its a birthday gift.

There are lots of flip through videos on youtube so you can see if its images you would like to colour.Johanna's best book yet! The paper is a lovely quality and there is such a lovely mix of images. Some floral images, but also buildings, treetop castles and other wonderful images. There are more detailed images, and simpler images with space for you to draw/add your own background along with pages with several small images that you could complete a bit at a time when you have 10 minutes to colour. There is something for everyone! If you have any of Johanna's books you won't be disappointed, and if you are new to her work - what a wonderful book to start with! :)

As a colouring addict I have all of Johanna's books. Whilst I absolutely loved the first two books, Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest, I must admit to not being keen on any of the subsequent ones. That is, until now. Worlds of Wonder is completely enchanting, it has so much variety of subject matter; florals, seascapes, floating islands, cute little houses and shops, birds, bees. I love it. It is arguably a slightly easier colouring experience than some of her other books; fewer double page spreads, perhaps less of the teeny tiny details but for some of us that can be seen as an advantage. It's a really lovely book and I've already ordered a second copy.
