Mythographic Color & Discover: Paradise: An Artist's Coloring Book of Glorious Worlds and Hidden Objects Paperback – Illustrated, August 4, 2020

I own the entire Mythographic series and couldn't wait for this new one by Fabiana Attanasio. With some artists, when you've seen one picture, you've seen them all. But every picture by this artist is unique, covering a wide range of styles and content relating to paradise. Her images are so dreamlike and imaginative! The pictures transport you to otherworldly realms that are peaceful, beautiful, and that provide the perfect canvas to allow your imagination to soar.The pictures are one-sided and are perforated for easy removal. The paper is high quality and has minimal tooth. This makes it perfect for colored pencil so you don't have to worry about covering the speckles caused by the tooth of rougher paper. The pages are also thick enough so that coloring with markers and gel pens will work well too (although, of course, it would be wise to remove the page first in case there is any bleed-through), but I don't recommend watercolor. The pages are an odd size, though: a little under ten inches square. So scanning the colored picture to post online is a bit of a challenge. However, the pictures all have borders and wide enough margins so that they will just about fit on a standard scanner bed with careful positioning.The little objects hidden within the picture are fun to find and identify. There is a guide in the back of the book to show the location and identity of the objects. The pictures are very detailed, so I could only recommend the book for experienced colorists. But it you are one, then run - don't walk - to buy this coloring book! You'll be glad you did!

OMG! My book arrived about 10 minutes ago! I couldn't wait to crack it open. I have all the books in the series,so far, and God willing, will collect them as they each new one comes out!I honestly think that PARADISE is my favorite in the collection (I probably say that each time a new comes out) so far. Fabienne Attanasio is an incredible artist with an incredible imagination. Whe you combine those two gifts........these books are the result. There is another artist who has been dping this style of art for a while, but in my opinion, these books are so much better. Of course, I absolutely love that other artist as well.I wont post any pictures until I complete coloring one because there have been plenty posted of just the line art. Ill try to post a completed picture soon.Now about these books in this collection, in general. All of the art is printed single sided in bright white perforated paper. In nuzt about every book I purchase, I copy the art to colored pencil paper. But these books are very odd sized and I color dire try in the books. I would say that the paper is a little better (heavier) than the paper in creative haven books. It doesn't have a lot of tooth, but its "adequate ".I hope you enjoy this series as much h as I do. As always; have a VERY BLESSED DAY and COLOR ON!!

Stunning. Captivating. Beautiful illustrations that aren’t as intimidating as most of the others. One of my favorites

El libro tiene ilustraciones hermosas, aún no me convence mucho las imágenes ocultas, probaré colorear ocultandolas...Le quito una estrella debido a que en una de las esquinas el libro llegó golpeado, cosa que se pudo evitar si lo hubieran embalado de mejor manera.

I have to admit at first I was worried about buying this book sight unseen because I have bought a lot of coloring books these last four years and came up with some I wish I hadn't bought without seeing whats inside. Fabiana Attanasio is a fantastic artist. Another great one to add to my collection! I bought the Enchanted Castles one that is also great. I can't wait til my day off so I can get started coloring. This book is not one bit disappointing. I love every single picture in the book and I will keep buying books by this artist. Please keep them coming. Thanks so much for another fun book to color in. Also, the paper is perfect!

This is a beautiful coloring book by Fabiana Attanasio, an Italian illustrator. This is the latest installment in the Mythographic series. I selected just a random assortment of images to show you. I couldn't share them all. The pages are perforated, and has a tooth similar to Johanna Basford books. The paper is white, and perforated for easy tear out. The images are all single-sided as well, making this a perfect candidate for alcohol markers and fineliners. As far as intricacy goes, this is not the most detailed of the series and I LOVE THAT. This is by far my favorite title in the entire series, and have just pre-ordered Fabiana's Frozen title due early next year. I am just beyond thrilled with my purchase!

It takes a while for stuff to get to Bonaire. Short version, from the company in Miami, container ship here.My book arrived yesterday & I love every page of it. A lot of books when I flip through, I know there are things I'll never bother to color. I can't wait to color each & every page in Paradise.And the paper will accomodate, pencils, gel pens, markers & water colors...paints/wc pencils & wc brush pens. Great....Ok, so I'm overly inpressed with the hidden objects but they are NOT a deal breaker.When this one is done, I'll get another from this series...

Its a really nice book but has a lot of small details that are hard on the eyes. I have bad eye sight so for me tons of small detail work was a bit frustrating for me. Still a lovely book. Less small objects and details would be better. I was happy with the thickness of the pages and would recommend
