Welcome to a soothing and sophisticated world of stylized artistic animals, insects, and creatures—from farm to jungle to ocean!

Inside this adult coloring book, you'll find 32 contemporary coloring activities from visionary artist and surface designer Debra Valencia (in collaboration with her son, Westin Walker). Based on contemporary fashion motifs, these designs are perfect for enhancing with your favorite brush pens, markers, colored pencils, gel pens, crayons, metallic pens, or watercolor brushes and blenders. Each fanciful illustration is designed to open a gateway to mindful relaxation and creative expression.

To create her art, Debra looks at nature, her surroundings, and cultural influences from her world travels, and, starting with pencil sketches, she stylizes them into attractive design motifs. Use your imagination to fill these images with all the vibrant colors of the rainbow and create your own spectacular versions. Each stylized design contains details for you to fill in as you choose, so you can make these delightful designs into your own individual masterpieces!

Pages and pages of stunning colored samples—64 of them—are included to spark your imagination. Multiple color schemes are presented side by side, to show how varying approaches and color combinations can make the same design look radically different. Gorgeous full-page hand-colored examples from talented colorists using a variety of art mediums are included to inspire you to create your own beautiful art.

Each fantastic design in this book is printed on a single side of high-quality, extra-thick paper that resists bleed-through, and the pages are perforated for easy removal once your art is complete. Frame your completed artwork for display, or use it as inspiration for gifts, home décor, needlepoint, stenciling, wall murals, and more.

Explore exquisite animals to color, become a designer, and enjoy your own coloring experimentation, with Stylized Animals Coloring Book!
