Reviews
“Expressions of Faith” is exactly that – many beautiful sayings and Biblical quotes that express one's faith. There are 32 designs in this coloring book and, for me, it is quite different from other coloring books I have had in the past. The artist, Joanne Fink, has provided designs which she intends for the colorist to add elements to which will enhance the design and make it personal.She provides drawing lessons over the first few pages of the book to show how to add your own details in drawing first and then to color second. She also provides examples from various colorists/artists who have taken her drawing and made them so different, it is hard to believe they started from the same point. I am deeply appreciative of these lessons as I have not tried this before. Seeing the variety and how beautiful each turned out, I will certainly use this coloring book to try out this new skill. Some of the pictures I will include will show how different the finished designs look from one another.The book itself is quite nice. It is printed on a good weight paper in a bright white. While the instruction pages are printed on both sides, the designs are printed on only one side (back left blank) and the pages are perforated for easy removal from the book. If you prefer to leave your pages in the book, I have tested pencils and gel pens with no problems but you may want to put a piece of cardstock or heavyweight paper below your work if you are using markers in case they seep through.While I color to relieve stress and anxiety at the end of the day, coloring in this book gives me the opportunity to think about my faith and to allow it to give me purpose. The book provides me both relaxation and inspiration which is a wonderful way to end my day.
