African Glamour

This was a book I had preordered and after reading the description of the book , I was not sure how I would like silhouetted pictures. I have to say I absolutely love this book. There are 31 pictures in the book. Pictures with beautiful head wraps , beautiful gowns decorated with patterns in the traditional African designs. The background includes animals, plants, and ornaments. The pages are perforated and printed on one side only for easy removal.

African Glamour

As an avid Creative Haven fan, I was super excited to get this book.When I ordered it, I was not aware of the silhouetted images. When I found out that it did in fact have silhouette images, I was a little bit nervous because that was not what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoy it.

Such a Delight to Color!

I'm not even sure how I had landed on this particular coloring book but I am glad I did. The pages are easy to tear out and more than that, the collaboration between Marjorie Sarnat and Cia Slater- created the most stunning elements, animals, print dresses, scarves and more. These were such a delight to color!

I began adult coloring in 2016 but stopped, so I am not an "experienced colorist" per se, however, since quarantining I have found I enjoy coloring Sarnat's artwork very much.

Just the right proportions for fun and relaxing coloring

One thing I have not liked during my recent coloring book hobby is that some books are WAY too detailed to the point they're near unfun pointillism chores, or they're nearly blank pages of 2 bland circles. This book is just right design-wise. The paper is good quality, one sided and perforated so you can tape them up on a wall. It could have probably used 1-2 pages where you could actually draw the details of the figures rather than uniformly silhouettes, but overall it's one of the best coloring books I've come across.

African women

I liked the variety of different pictures. Think it was a typical format for some of their artists. Enjoy coloring all the little details.
