The Reverse Coloring Book™: The Book Has the Colors, You Draw the Lines!

Description:

About this item:

The book has the colors, you draw the lines: the creative possibilities are endless!
 
Reverse coloring is a totally new idea in creativity and mindfulness: so simple, and so profoundly satisfying. Artist Kendra Norton created these beautiful and whimsical unfinished watercolors to provide a gentle visual guide for your own creativity and exploration.
 
Trace the shapes, draw in figures, doodle, shade, cover an area with dots. Each page is an invitation to slow down, let your mind drift, and be surprised by your own creativity. And because reverse coloring requires no “staying inside the lines,” it empowers your artistic self-confidence while it calms the mind.
 
The Reverse Coloring Book™ includes 50 original works of art, printed on sturdy paper that’s single-sided and perforated. All you need is a pen.

 

Editorial Reviews

Review

The Reverse Coloring Book will satisfy all ur doodling needs. Add the lines to the color and tah dah!—there it is. Free ur mind and the doodles will follow.”  —Rosie O’Donnell

"No worries about coloring inside the lines with watercolor artist Kendra Norton’s adult coloring book. She’s created the colors—your job is to draw the lines." —
Better Homes Gardens Do It Yourself

"Flip the idea of a traditional coloring book on its head with this inside-out version. Instead of focusing on coloring inside the lines, this book provides the color, and your artist draws the designs. All they need is a trusty pen and an imagination ready to be unleashed."  —
Good Housekeeping

“Our wildest childhood dreams have been answered — a coloring book that encourages us to draw 
outside the lines!”
 —
New York Post

“A cult-favorite for anyone whose coloring book nights need a delightful shake up. Instead of adding the color to these, you add the lines — sort of like a Rorschach test, but make it whimsical. Reviewers love the "mindlessness" of it allowing them to get into a stress-free flow.”
 —BuzzFeed

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for creative minds!

Absolutely love this concept! It really makes you look at things from various perspectives and gets your creative juices flowing. The beauty of it is that it doesn't require a lot of thought so it's very relaxing and enjoyable. I also like that it doesn't require a big time commitment, so if you have 30 minutes to spare, that works. Videos can be found on YouTube if you're looking for ideas to get started. This book is great quality - I appreciate the heavy paper and pages that tear out of the book for ease of use and portability. The designs and colors are beautiful and calming. Highly recommend!

I am not good at drawing. This book just gives you enough that your imagination can run free and engages you in creating what you see, not what are told to see. Makes me enjoy feeling creative. Very engaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for stress

J. · September 23, 2024

Helps with stress and artfully done and very easy just to figure out what faces or animals and things you see and just use the black pen.

I am trying to cut back on so much mindless phone scrolling and thought maybe this would be a nice laidback activity in my downtime. I have had other adult coloring books in past but didn’t get into them as much with needing so many colored pencils or pens I liked that this was just one pen and one book. Though I am not a very artistically talented person this is really nice way to decompress and just draw. I love that for me I find the watercolors sort of naturally guide your imagination into what to draw without over thinking and getting frustrated on what exactly to do as someone again who isn’t an artist. I have really enjoyed this book and plan on taking it with me on a long roadtrip. I think this would make a wonderful secret Santa gift with some nice pens and plan on doing giving some as winter down time gifts for people. The only thing I would have liked more is some more examples or ideas but looking at other reviewer photos did the trick. Just buy it okay you’ll like it and if not pass it along because this is a hit.

R.B. · June 4, 2024

I have tried the adult coloring books in the past for stress relief, but they always made me more irritated or annoyed if it didn’t come out perfect. With this reverse coloring book I can draw literally anything and it still looks great! I am a clinical mental health therapist and I have recommended this book to my clients as well and I have received great feedback from them. The colors are beautiful and “patterns” are all unique!

5.0 out of 5 stars Equally fun for adults

My daughter and I both love this book. The possibilities of creating something unique are endless and that's what we love most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unlocked creativity!

C.B. · August 16, 2024

I've become obsessed with reverse coloring books. I've been trying to find ways to not be distracted during long days of online meetings, and not be annoyed with all of the other things that demand my attention, and it turns out that reverse coloring, doodling on watercolor images like the ones in this book, is a balm for a busy mind. I have been using fine point micro pens in black for lines, and white gel pens for other doodles and it's unlocked a new creative practice for me. I don't like traditional coloring books because they feel boring to me. But this is a way to be creative with how and what you create! I really love it.

it is a Christmas gift for granddaughter, so it has not been used, but i looked through it. it has nice pages, the paper is of good quality.

Hermoso

A.R. · May 29, 2024

The media could not be loaded. Está muy lindo el arte, las hojas son gruesas, no se traspasa la tinta, se pueden desprender. Es un libro para desbloquear tu creatividad y relajarte

Relaxing and creative fun

R.M. · March 16, 2024

Absolutely LOVE this "colouring" book. Tracing the colours, and drawing patterns and doodles where I like to enhance what's there already is meditative and fun. I liked this one so much I bought the other two, and I am very much hoping for a Christmas edition with holiday pages.I used the fine tipped Sharpie markers at first, but have also mixed things up with regular coloured markers and it's all been good fun.

Super relaxing way of being creative

C.C. · July 18, 2024

This reverse colouring book is good because it doesn't tell you what to do so you can do what you want. If you like drawing things but don't like the actual colouring in bit, this is the book for you!So far I've done a page of pretty flowers and a city scape. This is a good gift idea.

Excellent

L. · March 26, 2024

A very satisfying experience. The colored pages allow you to express your creativity with minimal effort.

Uppfyller förväntningarna!

K. · March 25, 2024

Precis som på bilderna, jag är lite besviken på färgåtergivningarna då de flesta färger är dassiga men det är ju en subjektiv åsikt.
