Coloring isn't just for kids anymore. Inside this book are 30 ready-to-color illustrations for grown-ups that encourage mindfulness and positive energy, with imaginative designs from nature, including bees, hummingbirds, fish, fruit, vegetables, leaves, flowers, mushrooms, ocean waves, shells, and more.

Feel your calm and relaxation grow as you color these sophisticated designs, each so richly detailed that you could take leisurely hours to complete just one page. With the beginner-friendly advice and examples, you don't need the skills of an artist to personalize each intricate drawing and have a fun and fulfilling artistic experience.

Author and talented artist Valentina Harper provides helpful, easy-to-follow tips on how to color her designs. Her flowing, fantastical, and dreamlike drawings invite you to lose yourself in amazingly therapeutic interactive art. As an added bonus, popular craft author and artist Marie Browning joins the fun with eight beautiful fully colored examples to inspire your creativity.

Printed on high-quality, extra-thick paper that resists bleed-through and allows for great results whether you use markers, gel pens, watercolors, brush pens, glitter pens, colored pencils, or crayons, each coloring page is also perforated for easy removal and display. Take the pages out one by one if you prefer to color on a different surface, or remove each page when your art is done to frame, hang up, or gift to a friend or loved one. Quotations on the back of each page offer inspiration and reflection, along with a few lines to write a note or observation.
