Give yourself a little bit of relaxing creative time or make a great gift for someone else with water coloring books for adults!
Adult coloring books have been all the rage recently, but if you’re looking for another fun and relaxing hobby, try a watercoloring book! The Painterly Days Series, by Kristy Rice, the first ever series of watercoloring books, is absolutely beautiful and a lot of fun. Each book contains 25 sketches printed on lovely watercolor paper inviting artistic experimentation with only a brush and paint.
Each page or these books is double-sided, offering the opportunity to paint the same page in different ways. The author shares painting tips for each sketch and advice for discovering the artist within. Also included is a painting tutorial and handy color wheel. Each book is small enough to carry anywhere and simple to use. Creativity is an escape, and this book offers a delightful way to make art regardless of skill level.

Water color painting used to be my favorite as a child but I never thought of it it as an adult! These are beautiful!

This reminds me of the paint-by-numbers my parents had when I was little. Funny how things seem to come back around.

That’s a good idea and a step up from adult colouring books. Good for the adult painters who want something light to relax with.
