This is "grayscale" coloring. Grayscale coloring is a popular new craze that essentially means you will be coloring over a black-and-white photograph. The magic of grayscale coloring is that the shading is already done! Even beginners with no knowledge of shading can achieve beautiful results that have depth and dimension. The coloring pages in this book have been created from paintings. To color them, simply follow the brush strokes and color over the shades of gray for a unique experience that results in your own masterpiece that looks like a painting. A Color Guide is provided to help you along the way. Layer on the color until you reach the look you like! Many helpful tips are provided to help you achieve success.

In this unique, luxury coloring book, 30 impressionist paintings are printed in color across from a grayscale version of the same image to be hand colored. Color along with the Color Guide for the ultimate in relaxing coloring! Imitate the Color Guide to make your own stunning reproduction. Or use the Color Guide for inspiration...and innovate to develop a fresh color palette. The grayscale shading will show through your transparent pigments for beautiful results.
