Japanese Woodblocks (Art Colouring Book)

Book excerpt: The delicacy of Japanese Woodblocks, with their scenes of everyday life, provided the inspiration for much of 19thC Western art, including Impressionism and Art Nouveau. With fabulous artworks from Hiroshige and Hokusai, this beautiful new book will give you many hours of pleasure, and calm. Printed on high quality paper, this new colouring book features 45 delightful woodblock artworks for you to colour, offering a suggestion of how the original looked as well as key information such as title and date. Enjoy the beautiful views of Mount Fuji, the tranquil lakes and harbours, and this wonderful book will lead you on an enjoyable journey where the satisfaction of creating stunning artworks is mixed with the joy of colouring. You can use a wide variety of pens: from gel and pencil, to pigment and crayons, from ballpoint and rollerball to highlighters, although it’s best to avoid the heavy felt pens. Each page is perforated near the spine of the book, so you can tear out and frame, or simply place your wonderful creation on the walls of your home, perhaps even send them as a gift to your loved ones.
