Impressionists: From Caillebotte to Manet: Coloring Book (Coloring Books)

This is one of two books in this series and they are awesome. Each one is very detailed, including arrows so you can match the brush strokes the masters used if you choose to paint them. Each picture includes a small picture of what the original looked like and those are nice but I wish they were bigger. When you look up the picture online, the colors are pretty true to the original, but you have to mix your own colors (if you choose to paint it) so your result can vary. The paper is nice quality but I suspect it would curl if you used watercolors. I traced them onto thicker paper so I could paint them with acrylic.

Probably a bit advanced for my 7 year old granddaughter but with images of the paintings included in the front of the book, even if she doesn't have the patience to follow the detailed directions, she will at least have an idea of what to do and hopefully be able to recognize the paintings and artists in the future

I got this as a gift for a friend who loves to color, and it was a big hit. The book includes a print of the original painting, so you can either duplicate it, or go off on your own and make your own version of it. She loves it.

The spaces to color in are far too small to use anything other than colored pencils. Paint and pastels are way too thick for these.

Nice work

After a trip to the art museum - this was the perfect gift to enhance the experience

Great intro to impressionists. Great pics to color.

Looking forward to trying it out!
