Cbk Hasui

and the inside covers show the original colors. I’ll have fun with this.

I'm working on my 11th page from this book and still have no need to use my other books. The pics are printed on one side of the paper and different line weights in the drawings add to the quality of the images. My only issue is the paper soaks up watercolors so they leave brush marks, so I don't use water or alcohol markers in this book. However the paper takes colored pencil layers well, and using a solvent gives awesome results. I love the images so much I still give it 5 stars!

Because the drawings in this book do not contain the same detail as the original pictures, one is forced to create their own lines in certain areas. Overall, it is a good representation of Hasui's works. Rather than use my typical gel pens, I have had to use colored pencils in this book.

This homage to the artist's work can't be beat. I love looking up the original painting and using it as a guide to paint and color. I've used alcohol markers, watercolors, colored pencils and soft pastels on these pages, and they provide endless hours of magical painting. I love that these are historic, celebrated paintings that are rendered in uncomplicated line work for the colorist to get out their colors and play. These make for frameable pieces.

What a great colouring in book. I have several of Hasui's prints and the colouring in book is a gem. One print on a single page, clear and accurate representations of his work and best of all, the inside covers both front and back have copies in colour of the original woodblock prints, so you can follow or be inspired by the master's work. Good quality paper.

I'm not quite skilled enough to tackle Kawase Hasui's beautiful works of art but I wanted the book for when I am. I love Japan and all things Japanese. And, I wanted a coloring book that was more scenic in nature and this is perfect since it also includes lovely thumbprints of Kawase Hasui's work.

I bought two of these for my daughters who like the adult coloring and anything Japanese.

Beautiful coloring book. Bought it for an artistic friend who loves the quality and the Asian Art.
