It has been a looooong time since I had been coloring. Especially with colored pencils. But last weekend I finally managed to finish a coloring page that was lying in my studio for literally MONTHS! It was a page from one of Masja van den Berg’s coloring books, titled ‘Masja’s Mandala’s’. I think I started somewhere in July last year, ...

Once the Beatles sang ♪ It’s been a loooong, loooong, loooong time ♫… Well, same goes for my Sunny Sunday Highlights hahaha :D. It’s about time to put someone in the spotlight again! And instantly I knew who that someone had to be: the Doodle Dood! Quite a while ago I came in contact with Evan Brown, A.K.A. the ‘Doodle ...

The last time I’ve posted a coloring book review has been a year and a half ago! Wow, where did that time go…??? And it’s not that I didn’t buy any coloring books in the meantime, because I sure did (although not as many as before, I’m being more selective in which coloring books to buy or not). I just ...

Quote unquote Quotes, citations, expressions, I regularly use them. I love using proverbs, sayings and quotes in my everyday speech. Actually I’m just some kind of a language nerd. Beside that I also love coloring, with a diversity of materials. And exactly those two things, that fit me like a glove, have been been brought together in the book ‘Chalk-Style ...

Dutch sentiment A while ago, November 2016 to be specific, I bought the then recently released coloring book ‘Typical Dutch’ by Global Doodle Gems. Being Dutch and living abroad you can sometimes get excited about typical Dutch things. Things that weren’t that special while I was still living in the Netherlands. I mean, a windmill… there are so many of ...

Color by number It’s been over a month ago since I’ve colored two drawings from the color by number coloring book Colourtronic, so it’s about time to write a review. The Dutch version of the book was published by BBNC Publishers (the English version by Michael O’Mara Books Ltd.) and they’ve sent it to me. I’d like to thank them ...

Updated Nov. 2019: This coloring book review was previously only published on my Dutch website. Since my Dutch website has stopped, I don’t want to lose the reviews that weren’t published on my English website. So here it is, in Dutch. I haven’t translated it to English, since it’s a typical Dutch magazine (which has stopped being published end of ...

Last children’s coloring book review Recently I received a third children’s coloring book from BBNC Publishers: Little Pony, for which I’d like to thank them. This is the last one and then I’ve completed the task of reviewing children’s books. In a recent blog I’ve explained that coloring in children’s books is not what makes me happy. This Little Pony ...

Coloring for children From BBNC I received the children’s coloring book ‘Scared little Pete‘ to review (click here for the review). So that was Coloring for children… As usual I wrote ‘for which I thank them’, and I definitely don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but there are some things I want to get off my ...

Nice mandala coloring agenda From BBNC I received the super nice One and Only Mandala Coloring Agenda 2017, for which I thank them! Now it’s quite clear that I must write a review about it haha, so that’s what I’m about to do. The size is 18 x 17,6 cm large and 2,4 cm thick. Not very small, but neither ...
