Are any of you old enough to remember DoodleArt? These were posters that you colored in with markers and if you were lucky, those markers lasted long enough to complete the entire poster. If you loved DoodleArt, then you will absolutely enjoy the Secret Garden Coloring book.

I purchased the French version of the Secret Garden coloring book because my local bookstore ran out of the English version and as an added bonus, I was told that the French version also had 2 posters to color. I'm not sure if the salesclerk told me that just to get me to buy the book, but it really doesn't matter what language this book is in - it is a coloring book for adults or really artistic and patient kids.

The pages are beautifully drawn and the book is a kind of treasure hunt where you look for things hidden in all of the doodles. There are even pages where you can finish the drawings yourself, so be creative.

Personally, I decided to use pencil crayons over markers because I found that pencil crayons come in many different shades of green and we had tons of them left over from when the kids were in elementary school.

The coloring is intricately detailed. The pages are whimsical and elicit thoughts of my own garden. Just the title page took me a little over an hour to color. It was a purely restful hour, one of those peaceful and relaxing moments that bring back memories of childhood.

If you are looking for a stress reliever, check out this coloring book.

Update - Summer 2015 - I gifted 2 copies of this book with a set of pencil crayons to my nieces ages 11 and 13 - both enjoyed the challenging of coloring the pages and looking for the hidden objects. So, the books aren't just for adults.

This is a long review. Please, do not click on "show more" or navigate to the full review if you don't want to download a lot of pictures.

Everything started when my sister gave two books for coloring (this one and Enchanted Forest) BTW, she also has Lost Ocean and something about Mandalas).
Now I'm a proud member of the Crazy Cult Coloring (CCC) society.
She has created a monster.

See my works:
- This was my first one, the tree.

- the bouquet, just experimenting. I don't like it, really.

- the garden after sunset: unfinished, but I do like it.

- the shades of blue CCC challenge: I like it when I don't have to choose colors :)

- experimenting with rainbows (Michael was my muse; I love the result)...

- new experimentation : I had to draw the flowers at the right. I still don't know if I'll color the flowers.


I have been doing some crappy uploads of pics in the status updates. I will try to delete them since Goodreads nowadays don't let me edit and fix them. Sorry in advance if by trying I deleted also the comments in them.

I'd love if you also checked others Cult Coloring members's amazing works:
-Alexa's Nature & Lost Ocean
-Cathy's Happy Mandalas
-Karen's Cats in Hats
-Alex's Enchanted Forest
-Michael's Lost Ocean.

All of them are different, lovely and pretty inspirational.

Wonderful art! I love doing these while I listen to audiobooks. It lowers your blood pressure and stress levels. I also have chronic illnesses that cause me to suffer a lot of pain. While it doesn't take away the pain, my brain is focused the book and my hands are busy with fine motor skills and it takes my mind off the pain some. I love these books and of all the adult coloring books Johanna's are among the best. Wonderful creative outlet, not just to color, but also there are pages where you can add your own designs as well. I am so glad I found these!

He de decir que las ilustraciones son preciosas y muy originales. Cada una de sus páginas es especial y esta cuidada con el más mínimo detalle. Desde la hoja más pequeñas de los árboles hasta las plumas del búho y los demás pájaros.

El libro tiene muchas flores, plantas, animales, bichitos y muchas más sorpresas que no os voy a desvelar y que iréis encontrando mientras vayáis pintando de colores vuestro jardín.

More than just a coloring book with pictures and patterns, this is also an activity book where you search through the book to locate certain things and in other places, you are instructed what to draw to add to the picture. I can’t draw so that’s not a real plus for me.

With drawings on both the front and back of every page I’m guessing that a change has been made since this book was originally published. Each of the pages are roughly as heavy as construction paper, so when using colored pencils, your completed picture isn’t bleeding through to the back of the page and messing with that picture.

The drawings are both interesting and beautiful.

Got this as a Christmas present. Thank you!

Johanna BasfordEl jardín secreto (2013)

«Colorear es una actividad análoga y una desintoxicación bienvenida en la era digital.»

[5/5] ★★★★★

Reseña:
Este libro es un tanto distinto ya que en él no encontraremos ríos de letras sino más bien dibujos originales hechos por la ilustradora Johanna Basford. Hablamos de un libro para colorear. La temática está inspirada en la flora y fauna que rodean su casa en la campiña escocesa. Entre sus ilustraciones detalladas podemos encontrar algunos dibujos escondidos a modo de juego para sorprendernos conforme uno va coloreando entre líneas.

Podemos sumergirnos en este jardín y añadir nuestros propios diseños para completar algunas páginas del libro, también cuenta con algunos juegos sobre búsqueda de objetos y laberintos.

Opinión:
Siempre me ha gustado colorear así que compre este libro tan pronto como lo publicaron; las ilustraciones me gustaron mucho y podemos añadirle un toque personal no solo mediante colores y sombreados, sino que tenemos oportunidad de agregar nuestros propios diseños al libro.

Pienso que los juegos que añadieron hacen más dinámico el ejercicio y nos dan buena oportunidad de ser creativos. Me ayudó en varias ocasiones cuando estaba un poco bloqueada en ideas pues me mantenía imaginando constantemente.

En realidad, no importa si eres muy bueno dibujando y coloreando o si es la primera vez que lo haces las ilustraciones son bastante intuitivas así que de a poco uno va soltando la mano y mejorando con la práctica, además como actividad el fin no es hacer una obra de arte sino más bien pasar un rato ameno, relajante y disfrutar de actividades que permitan dar rienda suelta a la creatividad.

Hace unos meses estuve muy estresada y me puse a buscar actividades que pudieran servir para relajarme. Busqué en Internet y descubrí que existía el arte antiestrés. Imprimí algunas imágenes y las pinté. El mes pasado comencé a ver comentarios acerca de un libro para colorear: El jardín secreto. Como en septiembre fue mi cumpleaños, decidí "autorregalarme" algunos libros y entre esos libros que compré está El jardín secreto. Lo compré a través de Tematika, donde regalaban una caja de 12 lápices y un sacapuntas a quienes adquirían el libro.

Comencé a pintar con los 12 lápices, pero necesitaba más colores así que me compré una caja de 24. El libro tiene muchas imágenes de flores, plantas y pequeños animales. En algunos casos, los dibujos parecen mandalas y, en otros, se trata de paisajes de jardines.

Además de imágenes bellas dibujadas por Johanna Basford, en algunas páginas la ilustradora nos deja espacios libres para que nosotros dibujemos flores, mariposas, pájaros y abejas. También hay laberintos donde hay que encontrar el camino para llegar a algún jardín secreto.

Cuando era chica, amaba dibujar y pintar. Me pasaba todo el día dibujando. En la escuela primaria a la que asistí, había un taller llamado Club de niños pintores y yo nunca me lo perdía. Luego, en la escuela secundaria, tuve la materia Educación Plástica hasta tercer año, y ahí dejé de dibujar y pintar, mayormente por falta de tiempo. Este libro, además de relajarme, me hizo volver a las raíces. Volví a pintar y a dibujar como cuando era chica. Suelo pintar por la tarde, mientras me tomo un té de tilo o, a la noche, antes de acostarme. Estoy contenta porque por fin pude encontrar una actividad que me relaja.

Pueden ver las imágenes de los dibujos que pinté en esta entrada de mi blog: http://soldeechesortu.blogspot.com.ar...

GOSH, I WISH GOODREADS GIVE ME BACK MY EARLY REVIEW OF THIS BOOK!!

So, back then when coloring book trend just started, I buy Secret Garden and review it with gusto. Then Goodreads decide that coloring book is "not a book", therefore removed Secret Garden together with my review! --"

And now they decide that coloring book is a book. I feel so annoyed! :(

Alright, so, I like coloring (even now I rarely do it) and Johanna Basford's coloring book is a blast! I like her illustration, so detail, so tricky, so full of wondrous delight!. I have all of her coloring books, included Enchanted Forest, Lost Ocean and the newest installation, Magical Jungle (still pre-ordered). My color pencil, pen and marker love her books too, like its owner ;3.

Please Goodreads, don't delete this review. I gettin' tired write it over and over -.-.

This is a wonderful colouring book, with a little hunting game. Adult colouring took over the world and rightfully so. It's an interesting hobby and Johanna Basfords colouring books are a great starting point.

This Coloring Book is beautiful. The wonderful line of the drawn illustrations delights with its lightness, and develops the imagination. Everyone can be happy having this book in library collection.

I use crayons to color, trying to fill every bit of the black and white illustrations of the coloring book, also here. The colored pictures are beautiful and inspiring.

Coloring pages with many details encourage the brain to work at high speed, causing it to develop and improve memory.

I recommend

This book kind of bothers me, because some of the pages have a lot of blank space and the author writes, like, "Fill the pond with fish, frogs and lilypads!" First of all, don't tell me what to do. Secondly, you forgot a comma. Thirdly, what the shit?! I bought this book to colour someone ELSE'S drawings, not to be forced to make my own. I can't draw, that's the whole point of colouring books! It's so I don't have to worry about it.

So not as good as Enchanted Forest, but not as bad as Lost Ocean.

I got this as a gift. I kept telling myself not to own this beautiful book because I want to create my own coloring books, not use them. But that's like saying I want to write bestselling novels, but not own any. And I was missing out!

Reseñado en mi blog Nanny Books

Johanna Basford es la ilustradora de las tapas de la saga Finding Love. Ya con esa simple premisa, quería este libro. ¡Es super lindo! El Jardín Secreto está calificado como libro anti-stress, lleva vendidos millones de ejemplares en el mundo.

Además, este libro se presta para colorear en familia o en grupo de amigos, para regalar una vez terminado, y claro, para compartir en las redes (ya sea blogs, canales de YouTube, o en Instagram los avances que se realizan).

El Jardín Secreto tiene una gran variedad de paisajes para pintar: jardines (obviously) al arte medieval, lugares famosos, temas orientales, etc. Y si además de pintar, te gusta dibujar, es ideal para ti, porque hay páginas que necesitan ser completadas siguiendo diferentes esquemas.

Y aunque lo mío no es pintar (zero creativity), me ha parecido una actividad super relajante, en la cual me he podido concentrar (e incluso le he añadido música). Ni que decir que el hecho de que el libro venga con los super lindos lápices de Faber Castell (si no es Faber, no es un lápiz de color), le da un plus of emotion.

A medida que vaya llenando las hojas del libro, las iré subiendo al hashtag #PintandoElJardínSecreto en las redes y en el blog. A continuación les dejo unas primeras imágenes:

Well, what can I say that hasn't been said about this ultra-popular coloring book? Oh, this: it certainly gave me a wildly different, wildly better coloring experience than my first book of this kind: Under the sea by Mesdemoiselles.

This book was so relaxing to colour in! I recommend it to anyone who wants to de-stress!
One thing that lowered the rating for me was the repetitiveness of some of the patterns, because sometimes I didn't feel like colouring leaves, yet that seemed to be the majority of this book! But I loved it none the less!!

beautiful artworks.
the concept is actually easy to understand. colouring.
colouring the minute details, which require focus.
great activity to kill time, and boredom.

The details are amazing! It is so beautiful I am almost afraid of ruining it. It is however sad that there are writing on the drawings, but I get the purpose of them and in a way this does add to the feeling of it being a book just for me, and I love that.

This is a great adult coloring book. The author has Inc. hidden items in each design in it and another element to each coloring exercise to find the hidden item. The quality of paper and beautiful designs make this book a keeper. My only regret is that several Pages have words within the design requesting that the colorist draw in missing items. I lose interest in those pages. With the high level of quality that has gone into the printing of this book I wish each design had been print an individual pages because they would have made great keepsakes if other designs were not printed on the backside of the Page.

Me compré este libro para colorear cuándo mi pareja se fue de viaje durante un mes. Mi intención era hacer algo diferente con lo que pudiera matar el tiempo cuando me sintiera aburrida o le echara mucho de menos. Descubrí que cada vez que coloreo mi mente se relaja completamente y no pienso en nada más que en el siguiente color que voy a escoger. Un gran descubrimiento! Soy una persona muy activa, y me relaja muchísimo. Recomiento probarlo. Los dibujos son preciosos y estan llenos de detalles.

We read to lose ourselves, to grow, to have a new experience. This coloring book is a delight! I've been coloring in it regularly for several years. It has puzzles, little surprises and gives you license to be whimsical.

I have others...another of Basford's...just so relaxing.

Highly recommended.

I can't really say that I've 'read' this book exactly. I'm finding colouring really relaxing, especially in lock down, and I'm really happy with the way the pictures turn out. To people who wonder why adults would buy this book and spend their time colouring in, I'd say, "Don't knock it 'til y you've tried it."
