Perfect for those who love travel and coloring! Eric Dowdle is famous for his folk-art style and now, many of those beautiful pictures are available as a coloring page. These are ideal for those who appreciate a lot of detail. There are 40 pictures from various locations around the world. Each picture includes people enjoying the moment, bringing the picture to life beyond the scenic view. The original picture is provided in color, for those who enjoy a reference. A few of the locations provide an extra page or two for coloring, but most are a singular picture. Of all the books in the series, this one is perhaps my favorite because there are so many locations and cultures represented.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning and I loved the bright colours used. I thought it was great that a wide variety of places from around the world were featured. I really enjoyed that the original illustration is provided on the left hand side of the page so you can refer to it whilst filling in the drawing on the right hand side. This takes away the decision fatigue of choosing colours which I often come across whilst filling out these types of books.

However, the designs were slightly too busy for my taste and I think I would get bored before I finished a design. This is purely personal preference and I am the type of person who would want to be able to finish a drawing in one sitting however I know there are people out there who love to take the time to fill out an intricate design and they would love this.

The Eric Dowdle Coloring Book: Around the World is such a striking and intricate coloring book--perfect for coloring enthusiasts!

Colorists aged 13 and up will be swept away by the full-page illustrations depicting the various cities and landmarks featured in the collection. Each scene is exciting and intricately detailed. The bold, moody colors of the featured artwork also serve as perfect inspiration for your own works of art. You'll want to keep a pencil sharpener handy as you color each page! It's all about the details in this globetrotting collection.

This collection also provides colorists with the opportunity to learn more about each of the locations the artist drew inspiration from. Each location's art is accompanied with a brief description that entices readers to want to travel and experience these exciting desinations in real life. With over 25 destination spots to explore, you'll truly travel the world in this beautifully illustrated coloring book collection!

Thank you to NetGalley, Walter Foster Publishing, and Eric Dowdle for providing me with an advanced copy to review. I look forward to seeing this coloring book in its printed form.

This coloring book is very cute. The original paintings are gorgeous and very detailed. Next to them is the blank version to color. Because the designs are so intricate this is definitely a coloring book for an older audience. Accompaning each picture and chosen city or landmark around the world are a few sentences of information about the location. This is a fun way to explore many of the fun landmarks across the world. This book will be a delight to anyone who likes to color, whether they are familiar with the artist or not.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
