Flowerscape:
A Botanical Coloring Book
Flowerscape is your escape to a world that is bursting with abundant blooms, twirling vines and hidden creatures. Imagine yourself wandering through a flourishing garden: relax, re-frame, and allow yourself to freely thrive in creativity. Watch the pages spring to life with every step as you play through lush illustrations and geometric designs.
Flowerscape is published by Page Street Publishing and will be distributed through MacMillan. It will be distributed in the UK via Melia, Australia via Pan Macmillan and Canada via the Manda Group
Inside Flowerscape
There are four main styles of pages you’ll find inside Flowerscape, each one designed to provide different levels of relaxation and challenge. From more simplistic, elegant bouquets to edge-to-edge complex spreads, you’ll be able to choose the right page for you: whether you want a single afternoon project or a multi-day meditation that you can really sink your teeth into.
Identification
Flower identification pages serve as practice sheets for flowers found elsewhere in the book. Perfect for a quick coloring session or simply to perfect your coloring style before leaping into a more complex composition.
Patterns
Many pages feature repeating patterns or repeating geometric backgrounds, perfect for getting lost in meditative coloring. Many colorists love pages like this for their “I-Spy” quality: allowing you to uncover similar elements again and again.
Vignettes
These pages have medium-level complexity. They may feature elegant bouquets, florals contained within different shapes, or flora and fauna scenes that combine animals, birds and butterflies woven with range of differently-sized botanicals.
Complex
These pages are intricately detailed, often edge-to-edge compositions that showcase 20+ different florals in both single and two-page spreads. For long weekends and multi-day coloring sprees, these pages are the most challenging (and the most rewarding!)
