Aeppol Forest Girl's Coloring Book Vol.2 Premium Edition

This is the most enchanting coloring book. It may be my favorite of all I own. To explain the rating, the artist does not put all the details in the book that you will see on the little colored image to give you a suggestion of how it might be colored. He leaves out shadows from the sun, fabric prints, skies, the view from the window. You make this book yours by deciding what all those things will be.What a divine book! The paper is very thick, and could take watercolor if you don't make it too wet. I will use colored pencils because I haven't started watercolors yet. The images are enchanting, the thoughts and experiences of a 10 (?) year old girl, enjoying her books, her walks with her dog and chipmunk through woods, looking at snow, listening to music in a cozy room, dreaming with her furry friends curled around her on her bed. The girl is always the same, but her outfits are different, the pictures capture her mood and joy, the wonder of the natural world and her embracing home.If you can, get the Premium Edition, which is bigger in size than the other editions. The pages are marked on the inner boundary for those who wish to remove the pages--they are not perforated. I won't remove them because I want the book to remain intact. Perhaps if I get a second copy, I would remove the pages for the main purpose of not being influenced in how the originals are colored, as much as I love how they are colored.This book is the essence of innocence and childhood imagination, security, as if evil or bad doesn't even exist. It is in every way charming, and I have to give this book the highest rating possible. It is the kind of book I am glad to know even exists. I thank Aeppol for creating this book and reminding us that there is still innocence and good. I hope everyone who reads this has a very happy and blessed day.

I’ve wanted some of this artists books for awhile now, and finally decided to buy some. I did not know this book was going to be so gorgeous! First off, it’s much bigger than I expected. Secondly, the pages are watercolor paper! (Not arches by any means). But an unexpected surprise! In general I don’t color often, I prefer to draw and paint. But I am really excited to color these in! Her fully colored versions on the opposite page I feel will teach me new art techniques. Such a great purchase. I will be gifting this to others in my life that would appreciate it. I also ordered another of hers that’s softcover, it’s equally pretty, which makes me want to buy all of hers!

Possibly the most beautiful adult coloring book to date. Superb production values throughout.You won't regret buying this fine art hardcover with its heavy watercolor paper coloring pages. They're printed on only one side, so nearly any type of medium can be used.I bought the Premium Edition with free shipping as a Christmas gift to myself. I've seen this Korean import selling online for over twice what I paid when international shipping charges are added.I almost bought a very famous Japanese import until I saw spectacular "Forest Girl Premium Edition" for only $2.00 more. The other book has beautiful images, but it's just a cheaply bound softcover with much smaller dimensions, mediocre paper and no full-color pages or cover.Note that images in the 2018 edition of "Forest Girl - Volume 2" are entirely new and totally different from those in the smaller, softcover Volume 1. There is no crossover between the two coloring books.This large, hardcover book arrived within two days of ordering and in mint condition: Sealed in a clear plastic bag and shipped in a hard cardboard carton padded with a wide air pillow strip.

What else to say the headline says it all. I love Aeppol's drawings and coloring them is a joy, it's simplistic and peaceful yet very beautiful. From the cover page to the binding it's hardcover coloring book is of very high standard the paper quality is also thicker than 110 lbs. The exampled colored images of each drawings on the left hand side is also nice to have as reference. I waited a long time to purchase this coloring book. On Etsy the shipping charge is over the top (I understand it's international shipping) and I just couldn't purchase it. To note: the seller packaged the book really well. I was afraid because of the rainy weather that the book might arrive damp this has happened to me in the past when ordering coloring books from amazon however this coloring book arrived in pristine condition. Its' price for this quality level coloring book is amazing.

This is such a beautiful book. I own the 1st and 2nd editions which are also top notch beautiful books. When I saw this premium edition I knew I had to have it. This book is a larger format and has lovely hot pressed watercolor paper that is a bit heavier than a heavy weight cardstock. Each line drawing has a painted image by the artist on the opposite page that you can mimic or use the color palette if you like. I hope this artist continues to create coloring books for us to enjoy. One of my very top favorite artists. I haven't colored or painted in it yet but I will update my review when I do.

Fabulous!! Paper and illustrations are gonna be a dream.

I am so happy to own this wonderful Korean coloring book on Amazon at such a reasonable price. This hardback, premium quality book is printed on watercolor paper with sentimental images that follow the life of a girl and her dog. On the left side of a two-page spread is a painting of the image to be colored on the right side. This reference picture may be copied at the colorists' discretion. This is a beautiful book, and I thank Amazon for the opportunity to purchase such exquisite artwork to color.
