Edwina McNamee has brought a wonderfully different style to the colouring world. Her first ever adult colouring book, Wings & Things, features beautifully drawn feathered friends and winged creatures. Her smooth bold linework and eclectic style of drawing is just lovely and a breath of fresh air when it comes to hand drawn colouring books. Unicorns, owls, bats, and bugs are waiting to be brought to life with colour. That's where you all come in! You won't find one shaky line in this book, a common trait when it comes to self published hand drawn colouring books. While some imges are a bit too black and bold, her lines are crisp, clean and smooth. That was one of the qualities that caught my eye immediately as I watched Edwina's progression of her book on Facebook. Her illustrations are funky and different and you haven't seen animals like this, even with all the animal themed colouring books out there on the market. The pages are single sided and while there is bleedthrough, as long as you have a trusty scrap piece of paper in between, you can get away with using fineliners or felt tips. Pencils go lovely in this book as the shading and blending opportunities on these drawings are endless. The only thing I wish would be for it to be printed on better paper, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the image. The eclectic and elegant illustrations really captivate your imagination! Here's a sneak peek into her book as well as my Work in Progress! I love that Edwina took into account all levels of expertise, with some pages being easier and less detailed than others, catering to all coloristas! Find her book on Amazon, although it currently says unavailable, Edwina is working on getting it back up soon. In the meantime you can order it as a two part download on Etsy as well--- Happy Colouring All! Reviewed by Kourtney Ann Ferro

The "Colorista"I'm Kourtney, and I'm a mother of two litle girls and the wife of a Navy sailor. I review colouring books and products for publishers and art supply companies to give my Coloristas a guide to buying and growing their collections. And of course I love to colour any chance I get (mostly when the kids are asleep!)
