Creative Haven Insanely Intricate Entangled Landscapes Coloring Book (Adult Coloring Books: Art & Design)

I always have a lot of fun coloring books by Dr. Angela Porter. They are usually a single subject or a mandala and are somewhat easy to color. “Entangled Landscapes” is a really different kind of coloring book and one that I am having a blast with. The landscapes in this book are wildly imaginative and abstract. There are all sorts of small and intricate elements to these designs. I didn't have any problems figuring out what was what. Simply that there is so much in each designs that it is fun to color in bits and pieces. These are not what I would call fast and easy projects, in fact, the reverse. There are many details and some of the coloring is pretty much “insanely intricate” which makes sense as the book is part of that line from Creative Haven. For my first project, I chose to transition the sky at the top of the page first. I then moved to the ocean scene towards the bottom. Then to the cloud city and then back to the stalagmite and stalactite cavern underground. Then on to all of the other fun parts of the design. This is what I found when coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper. In the comments section below, I will list the coloring medium I use for testing and which I use generally for coloring my projects. 31 Highly Detailed and Intricate Landscape Designs Printed on one side of the page Paper medium weight, white, lightly rough and perforated. If you have colored in a Creative Haven book in the last couple of years, this is the standard paper they are now using. Glue bound; however, pages can be removed easily at perforations Designs stop before the perforations Alcohol and water based markers bleed through to some degree (alcohol based bleeds through freely and water based leave spots of color on the back of the page.) Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the page. India ink can bleed through in spots with repeated layers. Coloring pencils work well with this paper. I was able to use both wax and oil based pencils equally well. They lay down good color, layer and blend well. Hard lead pencils leave dents on the back of the page.

I really like the coloring books from Creative Haven. Out of all of the books I own, many of my favorites are from this company. The paper is always good and the designs and artwork always make me smile. The same can be said from this latest offering, Insanely Intricate Entangled Landscapes. This is a book you can sink your teeth into. You will need small tipped pens or sharp pencils for this one but the artwork is whimsical and fun. I like a variety of sources to choose from and sometimes I like small intricate work, and when I do, I will pick this one up, sometimes I like larger images without so much detail. This is a fun book all around though. Every page is filled with a special scene that has a lot going on. I also like zen tangle so I think this book is really cool. This is a great book to focus on and destress. Filling in each of these pictures will take a long time so I won't get tired of this one anytime soon. This has great artwork and you can't go wrong with the books from Creative Haven. I've had this on preorder since the beginning of the year and I really love it.

One of my favorite types of coloring!! This book is awesome if you like zentangles! Get ready, 😀 it's time munching!! Sat down at midnight......7 am.....I was completely done with just one page....and ready for bed....lol 😁 It's a great book!!

Notice...Amazon's title of this coloring book: Creative Haven Insanely Intricate Entangled Landscapes... the descriptive words, "Insanely Intricate", are incredibly important because the majority of pages in this book are filled with intricate, tiny details that need to be colored in. The pictures are whimsical, charming & very detailed, but will take patience, a steady hand & a sharp colored pencil to color in the fine details. For those of you who like to color a copy of the page (rather than color the page in the book), you might want to enlarge the page to make coloring it easier. I absolutely love all the whimsical landscapes in this book - the drawings are cute & fun. Before I begin most of these designs, I will need to gather up all my patience, pull out my Prismacolor Verithin pencils & my Crayola Twistables, put on some relaxing music & then start coloring the fun pics. I've been coloring for fun since 2008 & always use colored pencils. The pages in this book are filled with more intricate, fine details than any other book I own. For this book, colored pencils that hold sharp points will work best. I will use Prismacolor Premier Verithin Colored Pencils, 36 Pack because they have harder lead & hold sharp points, and Crayola 30 Count Twistable Colored Pencils which also work nicely when coloring tiny details. Tonight I began coloring my favorite picture in this book..."Why is it my favorite?" I'm sure you can't wait to know. It's my favorite because there's a friendly, smiling flying dragon in it! Update: I colored the majority of the picture using Prismacolor Verithin pencils. It took me a few evenings to finish. I really, really like the designs in this book, just wish the details weren't so teeny tiny.

I love her books

I got this book twice already you can use all your budget friendly art supplies in this book. The pages are single sided and perforated for those of you who prefer that. Marker lovers are really going to like this book also. The pictures are very detailed so look thru a flip thru of this book first to make sure it's for you. I love all the detail I use my gel pens and fine liners alot and the pictures come out looking amazing. I highly recommend this coloring book for hours of relaxing coloring fun.

Me encanta, la calidad del papel,los dibujos y el troquelado. Es el segundo libro que compro de Creative Haven y compraré alguno más seguro.

This is Angela at her very best. The detail in this book is phenomenal. It is a therapeutic masterpiece and i love colouring this gorgeous book. Geeat value!

Muy bonito libro para iluminar. Sus imágenes son increíbles para quienes disfrutan de pequeños detalles. Yo lo volvería a comprar!!!

Como todos dessa coleção, tem folhas perfuradas para destacar com facilidade e os desenhos são impressos apenas de um lado. Os desenhos são cheios de detalhes e muito bonitos.

This is the 4th time I have bought this book for myself. My preferred medium to work with at this time is gel pens, and I love the intricate designs this book provides. Each page although slightly similar when you get to the small designs offers a range of drawings. I love how each page has smaller sections to colour, it makes it easy for someone like me who has problems concentrating. It provides small sections I can go through one at a time until the page is completely done. This is by far my favourite book I have ever bought to date m. You can tell simply from the fact I have got it 4 times now lol.
