I love Johanna Basford color books and have done a few of them several times. Right now I am coloring her World of Flowers. I also bought a new set of colored pencils that I have wanted for forever. Tried to get them for Christmas but could not.

They arrived today, 180 different colored pencils in a tin box. šŸ˜Š

Do you prefer pencils or pens? What type color book is your favorite?
 

I use Prismacolor, Arteza, Castle, Starjoy, Brutfuner, and Holbein (very expensive). These are all good and I recommend Star Joy as very inexpensive Chinese brand. I use them mostly with my Prismacolor. I create miniature artworks with these. I do have a couple of coloring books but I have passed a lot over to my neighbor who I got into coloring books after her husband passed. She loves them and it helps move her forward. I generally oil paint but sometimes I love to do small projects without the mess.
What ever you do, stay away from Cool Bank pencils which I found to be very inferior. You won't like them believe me.
The rest I named above are excellent. Look for good deals on Amazon or Dick Blick Art Supplies. You can buy single replacement pencils for Prismacolor at a reasonable price at Dick Blick (not Amazon). Good luck and have fun! :love:
 
I'm always looking for ideas, of activities that I might find a way to adapt into something I could do, so I'm happy to see this thread, and the posts in it. :)

I also enjoy seeing what other people enjoy doing, even if it isn't a match for myself. I'm glad you enjoy it, and I like learning about it, that way too.(y):geek::love:

I have done something like that, in the past, with picture puzzles. It was relaxing, and pleasant if you enjoy the subject matter or the art, of the pictures utilized.
 
I like gel pens and usually buy the refills. As for the coloring books, I don't usually go by the brand or artist but the subject. I have several usually flowers, gardens, animals, ocean life and a desert one. I do prefer the ones that are spiral bound and that pull out of the book. It is a very relaxing hobby.
