You don't need to be an artist, devote a lot of time, or spend a lot of money to get creative with this magazine. Paint and pen can be all it takes to create a beautiful work of art.
A good variety of pictures to color. It is a great way to find new artists. I was hoping for more articles about techniques - but most of what they are including is projects. Now and then it is great, but it seems to be all they are doing.
I enjoyed the featured artist, but wish it didn't take up so much space. The colored guides are a great way to get out of a rut - or at least try something new. However, I do not like that they decrease the side of the paper. I honestly wish there were less of them also.
I love that they included an article on watercolors - but it is on a cup, not how to use watercolors on a coloring page. So it seems to defeat the purpose to me.
I subscribed for two years - because I liked the idea of learning more about coloring instead of just getting another book. However, at this point I do not see myself renewing my subscription. We will see what the next issue brings.
