This is my first coloring book by artist Faii Sosaikum and I am really so impressed with not only the beautiful designs but also with the outstanding quality of the publishing of this book. There are 24 coloring pages which includes 19 different princesses with flowers, two full page floral designs and three pages of bookmarks (four per page for a total of 12 bookmarks.) I really appreciate that the binding is at the top of the page so no one has to color/paint over the bump of the binding.

The designs are generally of a woman (princess) with flowers intertwined in her hair or about her. There is a nice level of detail with plenty of room for blending and special effects should you wish to do so with your projects. The women are all beautiful and the images have a nice bit of shading already in place. The line drawings are done in shades of gray on an ivory heavyweight and lightly textured watercolor paper.

I used Copic markers and Polychromos colored pencils for my first project. I was pleased to see that both work well with this paper.

This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my various coloring medium:

24 design pages including princesses, flowers and bookmarkers

Printed one side of the page

Paper is heavyweight, ivory, slightly textured, and non-perforated

Glue binding at the top of the page. The binding is similar to notepads and pages can be removed in whole by carefully pulling the page away from the binding.

Some designs reach up to the binding but I had no difficulty in coloring into that area.

The book opens fairly easily to a flat position for coloring/painting.

Alcohol-based markers bleed through ever so lightly. Some colors did not bleed through at all.

Water-based markers and other water-based medium, gel pens and India ink pens do not bleed through the paper.

Coloring pencils work well with this paper. Both wax and oil based pencils lay down good color, layer (same and different colors) and blend well using a pencil style blending stick. I was also able to get great results using liquid blending medium as well.

Even though very few types of coloring medium bled through the fantastic paper in this book, I still used a blotter page of card stock below my working page just in case to keep ink from marring the pages below.

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH ALL YOUR MONEY AND THEN SOME - If anything just for the stunning art!
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017
First time I ever felt like I needed to leave a review.
HOLY MOLY this coloring book!!
It's blowing my mind that this exists and is somehow under $15.
First off, watercolor coloring books in general are not easy to find, and these feature absolutely BEAUTIFUL art by Faii Kotchakorn Sosaikum. Honestly the prints are so lovely they could be framed straight out of the book. A lot of her pieces incorporate this 'movement' aspect and please just take a look for yourself at some of the images others have generously shared.

Illustrations:
Each illustration is printed on it's own individual sheet of paper. No double sided prints here!
The lineart is printed in this gray-ish colored ink, making the prints look like she had actually drawn these right on the paper with a pencil (but for the record, these are obviously prints).
What stands out to me are the florals, the hair, and the shading in the art. It's not just a flat outline and it's stunning!! I guess you could argue there's too much going on for a coloring book, so judge for yourself if the art is something you'd enjoy coloring. Personally I'd buy this just for the art.

Paper:
I haven't colored an entire page yet, but the paper seems to handle light washes of water just fine so far. Can't tell you unfortunately how it would handle more moderate amounts of watercolor.
I couldn't find details on the actual weight of the paper (lb/gsm) or the contents of the paper, but to the touch, the paper is comparable to the more affordable range of Canson and Strathmore watercolor papers. In terms of texture, it's like cold-press watercolor paper.
I'm able to mix colors on the paper directly, with moderate pressure and there doesn't seem to be any pilling or signs of disintegration. But again, keep in mind I haven't tested the paper to it's full potential.

Binding:
The pages can be removed easily, yet you can fully fold the pages across the binding without worrying about accidentally removing a page, which is something I see in a lot of watercolor pads, so that's convenient!
It also lays flat where if you wanted to start on a sheet in the middle, you won't have to remove the sheets before it.

Other things to note is that besides the 'princesses', there are a few full pages of gorgeous patterns and even some bookmarks you can color and cut out! Like come on, that definitely deserves a few bonus points :)

I do have to say Prima should be marketing this as a watercolor coloring book, it's a shame this doesn't come up as a search result with those keywords.

I honestly don't have enough great things to say about this coloring book. Prima, please please please continue selling these, maybe with other artists in the future, and maintaining this level of creativity and quality!!!

I've also purchased Vol2 of this series and that one includes greeting card cutouts!

Thank you Faii, thank you Prima, for bringing this into existence because I absolutely adore these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well made coloring book
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018
this is my first watercolor coloring book. I recently found Prima Marketing and bought several of their very cute and yet quality watercolor sets.

This book has very good paper, and surprisingly good illustrations. It, to me, is a great starter book for learning to use water colors efficiently.

I would also recommend it for watercolor pencils or for just using as a adult coloring book with good pencils.

Worth every penny. Love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2018
I bought the book mainly for the beautiful portraits, even knowing it was on watercolor paper and I exclusively use colored pencil. This book works so well with Prismacolors if you use odorless mineral spirits and a paintbrush to blend. I was able to use arteza and hero pencils in small spaces (like the eye on the attached picture) and burnish. Plus the paper will take a lot of layers, I think in some places on the skin I have up to 15 light layers of pencil. I would highly recommend this book to a pencil colorist with odorless mineral spirits and just a little bit of patience.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2018
This is an AMAZING book!! I haven't been so inspired to color in a long while. These pages are thick cold pressed watercolor paper. Images are stunning. I put it through quite the trial with different watercolor mediums and it held up to them all!! Even heavy wet on wet washes. Don't hesitate on this one!

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and I was beyond thrilled when it arrived. The pages are gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for! My daughter actually gasped at the beautiful artwork in it and the paper is very nice. I seriously would love to order one for myself after seeing it.
