Artistic coloring book Japanese blocks - Flame Tree Publishing

The delicacy of Japanese Woodblocks, with their scenes of everyday life, was an inspiration for most 19th-century Western art, including Impressionism and Art Nouveau. Thanks to the magnificent works of art by Hiroshige and Hokusai, this beautiful new book will provide many hours of enjoyment and tranquility. This new colouring book, printed on high-quality paper, contains 45 stunning woodblock illustrations that can be coloured, offering suggestions on how the original might have looked, as well as key information such as the title and date. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, peaceful lakes, and ports, and let this wonderful book take you on a delightful journey where the satisfaction of creating beautiful artworks blends with the joy of colouring. You can use a wide range of pens: from gel and pencil to pigments and crayons, from ballpoint and rollerball to highlighters, although it’s best to avoid heavy markers. Each page is perforated near the spine, so you can tear it out and frame it or simply display your wonderful creation on your home walls, or even send it as a gift to loved ones. Bring your ink to life!
