Coloring books are not just for the youth! When I have had a stressful day or would just like an alternative for occupying myself peacefully, coloring cures all ailments.

The Van Gogh Coloring Book
Not only is this coloring book really fun to color, but it’s also beautiful to look at. As you can see, there is so much detail in each page. If you are a Vincent Van Gogh fan, it will help to teach you about some works that you might not have seen before. And, it has some works you have seen, such as his famous self portrait.
One thing I have to say about it is that they dont have printed pictures for each page. I am assuming that is because of people that like to use markers? Regardless, just something to be aware of, if that is a preference or not. For me, I enjoy it because I do use markers, but I do not like having empty pages.
This is the type of coloring book that you could then set out on your coffee table to have guests look through. They separate the differentiation really well, so you can color small areas easily without h interfering with lines.
The Age of Glamour (Art Deco Coloring Book)
This coloring book is produced by the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum. Many of the designs that are in this book are from the museum, including the national art library.
Not only will this be fun to complete, but it teaches you much about artwork during the art deco movement!
Much of this book has beautiful work from the 1920s-30s, and the line work is very easy to follow. However, this book has double sided pages, and is on the thinner side. Many other reviews that I read as well recommend not using alcohol based markers as they will bleed through.
This book would be perfect for colored pencil or water based markers!
Vogue Themed Coloring Books
This one is just an example of 20s-40s, but there are many more! I think this is the perfect coloring book for someone that loves smaller accents in their home.
Vogue is known for its stunning fashion photography and illustrations. This one is for people who have a passion for fashion! Whether they’re professionals in the industry or simply enjoy following trends and expressing themselves through clothing.
William Shakespeare Coloring Books
Not only does this one have some great quotes from the plays, but it also is so pretty to look at!
The pages are simple enough that you could get them done in one sitting, too. I think that each page is really adorable to look at and would be very fun to complete. I think that this would be a fun one to gift to someone. If you have anyone you know that is a big fan of the theatre, this would be a perfect gift!
Alice in Wonderland Coloring Book
I think that this book has really cute drawings for Alice in Wonderland. It has more of an eccentric feel to it, but it isnt too creepy to look at. I think that this one looks gaudy in the best way!
There is so much going on and so many little details to fill in. If you like to fill in small details, then this is definitely the book for you!
The National Parks Coloring Book
This book is really cool in particular because it has one full page for each of the national parks. It has a great mix of details as well.
I also think that it looks really cohesive and doesnt just look like a regular coloring book. There are certainly some special touches added to this.
There were a few others that I had found online but all of them just looked like generic pages from a nature coloring book, and this is the only one that I saw that really felt like it was customized for each park.
