Rooms of Wonder: Step Inside This Magical Coloring Book

I LOVE these coloring books! The pictures are beautiful and so unique! I really love Rooms of Wonder and I have a couple other books by this artist! You won’t be disappointed! Paper quality is thick and great for those that use markers! Great for relaxing and being creative!

Love her books. Interesting pictures and perfect paper quality

Best coloring book I’ve ever owned. The detail is great and there’s a lot of variety in different objects to color. Pages are not super thick and most markers will show on the backside of the page but other than that it’s PERFECT!

Love the designs and heavy paper. No smears or color bleed!

I love, love, love this book. Her pages are so fun to color. I have all her books.

*Images: I love that this is filled with many wonderfully fun, different rooms to explore. It's just so relaxing to spend time in each room getting lost in the adventure. What a joy! The images are fairly intricate but not so much that you can't get good shading and blends on many of the pages. There are still some images that are so tiny blending/shading would be impossible. I love those pages that don't have rooms but have separate images to color for when time is short. I just have to say though, I really dislike the wallpaper, mandela and filler pages. As always, the images are printed on both sides of the page making alcohol markers unusable unless one doesn't mind sacrificing a page or even 2 if you don't use blotter paper in between. (I do think this less toothy paper would be a pleasure to use with alcohol markers, especially the bullet nib kind.) Printing: I know that Basford's most recent book had some printing issues, but this book does not have the double lines at all. Those errors seem to be contained to a batch or 2 in the Small Victories book. (I'm waiting until those issues are ironed out before purchasing.) *Paper: I prefer Joann's older creamy, toothy paper, but the quality of this paper is quite good too. She said her usual paper became unavailable so she chose the same paper used in the Kerby Rosanes' books. As you can see in the photo above, I tried many different brands and media to test on the paper. I preferred Polychromos and other oil based colored pencils, like Pablo & Koh-i-noir, on this paper over the creamier wax based brands, like Prisma & Black Widow. I didn't do a lot of layers because the size of the images were too small, but I did do some burnishing and erasing without any issues. The paper held up well to multiple techniques. The Arteza Real Brush Pens and Ohuhu water based markers either bled through or ghosted. I was able to use watercolor pencils with small amounts of water without any buckling of the paper at all, but I did keep the water to a minimal dampness. Value: I bought on a 3 for 2 sale so I got a it at a great price point. *Overall: This is a fun book, in Basford's typical classy and imaginative style. I love it. *Note: I subtracted 1/2 star for paper and 1/2 star for filler, wallpaper type images.

I love these coloring books. The art work inside is magical and quirky. There is so much to color in these books, I couldn’t imagine ever finishing the entire thing. The paper is different than the Small Victories edition, which is a plus. I’m new with adult coloring and Other reviewers mentioned the paper quality has changed. The paper isn’t the worst but I do like a thicker, toothier paper. I paint with watercolor and it’s probably because I’m used to toothy paper. I think colored pencils would work so much better the toothier the paper is. Plus then it would open the door for using almost any type of media with them without having to watch for bleed throughs. The paper can take some felt tips that I use for details but you could never use alcohol markers or extremely wet watercolor. I would gladly pay more for better paper. Paper quality is so important and it’s a game changer when the paper is good.

Super cute book, with beautiful illustrations and plenty of detail. I love her books and have almost all of them. They are so fun to color in with high quality paper that does not bleed through. My favorite coloring medium is glitter gel pens and even my juiciest pens do not bleed through. I do wish the pages were one sided though, I hate when there is a picture on both sides of the page. It's harder to color and if there was any bleed through, it would ruin the other side of the page.

loved this book!!! but just know that this book doesn't have the same paper quality as world of flower, because Johanna said US doesn't produce those papers anymore?

So lovely book ! A dream to color !
