Nightfall Coloring Book: Originally Published in Sweden as Skymningstimman Hardcover – Coloring Book, 27 March 2018

Beautiful book by Maria Trolle! Fun drawings to color!

I love this colouring book! It is made of very high quality paper with a beautifully illustrated hardback cover and a metallic gold spine. The paper is thick and absolutely perfect for colouring pencils - if you are familiar with the paper in the UK version of Johanna Basford's colouring books, the paper in this Nightfall book is very similar but perhaps even a little thicker and sturdier. I love that the plants and flowers within the book are indexed with their scientific names so that you can use reference photos to help you colour if you want to. The only downside is that the plant names are indexed with page numbers but for obvious reasons there are no numbers on the individual images so you have to count the pages manually. I love that some of the illustrations have a black background, giving a completely different look and feel. I'm amazed at the quality of this book given the affordable price. A gorgeous addition to any colouring book collection!

Great value at under £10. This book is beautifully made and feels really special to handle.The hardback cover opens fully so no bits of designs hard to work on and it provides a firm surface if you are working without a table or tray of some kind.The paper is slightly textured yet still silky, and a good thickness so a minimum of transfer on to pages under where you're working.Outlines are not too thick on the white paper designs. The dark pages dotted through the book are gorgeous to colour. I have never really enjoyed colouring dark background designs but these have totally changed my mind.All the designs are beautiful and none too intricate to work on unlike many books. A couple are slightly more childish but not overly so. Maybe nice to share the colouring book with a younger family member too.Have to confess to immiately buying two more of this collection within 24 hours of geting this one. No regrets, they are equally gorgeous. I've only had this book a few days and completed 8 of the designs. A very relaxing and enjoyable way to pass spare time.

This gorgeous hardback book has beautiful illustrations to colour, some of which have black backgrounds which is a nice touch if colouring backgrounds intimidates you or if you just fancy doing a quicker picture. The paper it is printed on is very good quality, which I imagine would tolerate markers and watercolours, although I have yet to try either of these mediums out in my book. I would recommend this book and have gone on to purchase other books by the same illustrator. The luxurious feel to is worth the extra money. Go on, treat yourself! 😊

Oh wow what a stunning colouring book. Yet another beautifully bound book with a gold spine to look amazing on any bookshelf and of course looks gorgeous if you have Maria's other books.Lovely smooth paper perfect for colouring pencils. I have both Prismacolour and Polychromos and they blend well on this paper.Maria's illustrations are so whimsical and nature inspired.Love, love, love this book, a must have for any colourist for their collection.

I love the botanical designs in this book but am unsure of the design of some of the pictures showing fairies and the like. They aren't really my cup of tea but because there is an abundance of other designs that I like, I will keep the book but may think twice before purchasing a collection by this artist again, hence only giving 4*.
