Coloring books became a thing when adults discovered how relaxing and meditative they were. Jigsaw puzzles roared back into popularity as an immersive activity, not to mention a great alternative to television. How exciting is it, then, to introduce an activity that tops them both: reverse coloring, which not only confers the mindful benefits of coloring and puzzling but energizes you to feel truly creative, even when you're weary and just want to zone out. It's so simple, yet so profoundly satisfying. Each page in The Reverse Coloring Book has the colors, and you draw the lines. Created by the artist Kendra Norton, these beautiful and whimsical watercolors provide a gentle visual guide so open-ended that the possibilities are limitless. Trace the shapes, draw in figures, doodle, shade, cover an area with dots. Be realistic, with a plan, or simply let your imagination drift, as if looking a clouds in the sky. Each page is an invitation to slow down, let go, and thoughtfully (or thoughtlessly) let your pen find its way over the image. The Reverse Coloring Book includes 50 original works of art, printed on sturdy paper that's single-sided and perforated. And unlike with traditional coloring books, all you need is a pen.

Reverse coloring books are a fun and creative way to engage in art and relaxation. Instead of coloring in the lines with colors, you will be coloring the negative space around the lines. Here are some instructions on how to use a reverse coloring book: Choose a reverse coloring book that you like. You can find them at bookstores or online. Gather your materials. You will need a set of coloring pencils or markers, an eraser, and a sharpener. Decide on a color scheme. Think about what colors you would like to use for the negative space and what colors you want to leave untouched. You can use complementary colors, monochromatic colors, or a random assortment of colors. Start coloring. Instead of coloring in the lines, color around them, leaving the lines uncolored. It's best to start with light colors and gradually build up the intensity. Be sure to color in all of the negative space around the lines. Use a blending tool. If you are using colored pencils, you can use a blending tool to smooth out the colors and create a more cohesive look. Take your time. Reverse coloring can be a bit more challenging than traditional coloring, so take your time and enjoy the process. Don't worry about making mistakes or coloring outside the lines, as this is part of the fun. Add details. Once you have colored in all of the negative space, you can add details or patterns to the uncolored lines. This will help them stand out and create a more interesting look. Sign and date your work. Once you have finished your reverse coloring page, sign and date it. This will help you track your progress and see how your skills improve over time. Remember, reverse coloring is all about creativity and having fun. Don't worry about making mistakes or coloring outside the lines. Just relax and enjoy the process!
