Mandala Adult Colouring Books by Colorya - A4 Size - Mandalas Colouring Book for Adults - Premium Quality Paper, No Medium Bleeding, One-Sided Printing

Love these Spiral Bound Colorya Mandala colouring books...They have clearly printed images on card, yes card, (& it's not thin card either)...it's smooth, white, medium thickness card.No bleed through, (I use stabilo & steadler fineliner pens) but obviously, if you're pressing down hard & going over & over again with mainly dark colours, then yes, you'll eventually bleed through otherwise there's no bleed through if you've got decent quality pens like the ones I've mentioned above.The books are A4 in size, which is fine (but personally I'd much prefer maybe 12"x12") & they are spiral bound, which is so much better.I've added a few images of the mandalas I've done so far. The mandalas are not too intricate & not too simple & some images are larger than others, some have floral elements too.All in all, the quality of these books is fantastic & yes, they're more in price than most, but if like me, you don't mind paying for better quality,...(as unfortunately I've learnt that most adult colouring books are cheap because they are not good quality, have badly printed images, thick black lines, most are for either children or beginners & the paper is usually very thin or rough, or both... & as I always say, you get what you pay for),...then you certainly won't be disappointed with these Colorya adult colouring books....enjoy!... Just an update...I've added more photos of the mandalas I've completed from this Colorya Mandala colouring book.I have completed, up to now, 24 of the 30 designs & as I'm nearing the few left to do, I have just purchased another one of these books, because I've really enjoyed colouring these smaller designs....(as i've previously stated, I much prefer the larger 12" x 12" Mandala designs in the following books...'The One & Only Mandala' Colouring Book,...The Second One & Only Mandala' Colouring Book... &'The Third One & Only Mandala' Colouring Book...These are my absolute favourites, which I have about 4 copies of each title & which I've commented on in detail, via Ebay, as that's where I purchased them... I don't think I've purchased any via Amazon but I could be wrong. )... But anyway, I have found I've quite enjoyed colouring these smaller ones, as they take less time to complete each one. After I've done all 30 designs in this book, I'll return to my favourite 12"x12" books & I'll do those ones for a while then return & start my new book of Colorya Mandalas... & when I do, once I've done each design, I'll again add my completed colourings via here, hopefully inspiring others....as i've been inspired by other's completed designs.

I really loved the fact this book is a4 size on card which has been spiral bound. This makes it so much easier to pick up and spend a few moments colouring without having to sit at table, I can be sitting on the sofa and chatting too. Also the Mandala’s are not to intricate consisting of all very small pieces, not do they cover lots of wide open spaces making them not to hard nor easy just interesting designs.

This is a great colouring book. The designs are good and the paper is of excellent quality. I like the spiral bound design of the book because it means that you can colour a page without the previous or following one falling over the one you are colouring. You can also balance it on your knee (whilst watching television) because it is sturdy and the pages strong enough not to need a board underneath. There is one downside however, and that is that Copic sketch markers bleed through so it is not advisable to colour the mandalas with this medium. Although as the pictures are only printed on one side of a page, any bleed through will not affect the next design. I have eagerly searched to see if there are any other colouring books by Colorya of this quality and design (spiral bound) but so far cannot find any. So come on Colorya, lets have some more colouring books please. I would highly recommend this colouring book as the coloured pencils (I have mainly use Polychromos) lay down on the paper very well. Well worth the money.

Pages are nice and thick, great detail to colour in.

Really lovely colouring book great card quality

This is the first adult colouring book I have done. I have actually really enjoyed it and find myself doing some most evening as it's very relaxing and calms the mind. The paper is very thick like card and the pages being on a spiral is helpful for rotating and ease of colouring. I have used felt tips and mostly gel pens on these designs. I attempted to use pencils but the paper is very smooth and pencils don't work as well, pens seem to give the best effect. My only criticism would be that the mandalas do become quite 'samesy' after a while and it's hard to keep a creative mind when a lot of the patterns on each one are time same. I have however thoroughly enjoyed doing this book. I have ordered a different style colouring book now and plan to go between the two for some variety.

Love the paper,and one picture per page. No colouring right to the edge,on on folds of book. The black pictures always look fabulous. You could do these pictures all over again,and they would be different.

Gorgeous card for using alcohol markers as no bleed through at all.Too smooth for Prismacolors & Polychromos pencils but I will definitely be buying another of these books.Spiral binding is a godsend.The patterns vary from typical mandala to more flowery mandala - I prefer the traditional mandala but I’m not going to let this stop me from purchasing more.
