johanna basford enchanted forest artist's edition

The publisher provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The card can be easily removed, making them easy to frame, or you could just pull them out to work on. The images are scaled up and are printed on high quality A3 sized card. It’s hard to go wrong with any of the titles as either a gift or to satisfy your own coloring cravings. The Artist’s edition features 20 images from the book and has the familiar part gold embossed cover as Johanna’s other titles. Another addition to the line-up is a Secret Garden Journal. Previously, she released three titles in flexible paperback editions: Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest, and Lost Ocean. I find Basford’s drawings to be some of the most beautiful among recent additions to coloring books that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Basford says her inspiration comes from the days she spent rambling the grounds of Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, where her grandfather was the head gardener. Most pages contain all kinds of flowers, vines, and various types of garden life. Some of my favorite drawings are the heart shape made from twining vines, the circle with hummingbirds, and the full page of different kinds of beetles. This book contains 20 drawings, and because they are on thick paper with drawings on one side only, they are ideal for framing once you’ve added your own touches to them. Eventually, though, you probably won’t be able to resist making these images your own. Johanna Basford’s Secret Garden: Artist’s Edition coloring book is so beautiful in black and white you may have trouble deciding where to add the first bit of color.
