Beautiful images rendered in exquisite detail, this would be great for both colouring enthusiasts and casual hobbyists aged 12 and up. I loved the facts about each city that accompanied the images and contributing to the sense of atmosphere, and I love the vibrant colours used in the inspiration pictures. Would make a great gift.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Perfect for those who love travel and coloring! Eric Dowdle is famous for his folk-art style and now, many of those beautiful pictures are available as a coloring page. These are ideal for those who appreciate a lot of detail. There are 40 pictures from various locations around the world. Each picture includes people enjoying the moment, bringing the picture to life beyond the scenic view. The original picture is provided in color, for those who enjoy a reference. A few of the locations provide an extra page or two for coloring, but most are a singular picture. Of all the books in the series, this one is perhaps my favorite because there are so many locations and cultures represented.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

The Eric Dowdle Coloring Book: Around the World is such a striking and intricate coloring book--perfect for coloring enthusiasts!

Colorists aged 13 and up will be swept away by the full-page illustrations depicting the various cities and landmarks featured in the collection. Each scene is exciting and intricately detailed. The bold, moody colors of the featured artwork also serve as perfect inspiration for your own works of art. You'll want to keep a pencil sharpener handy as you color each page! It's all about the details in this globetrotting collection.

This collection also provides colorists with the opportunity to learn more about each of the locations the artist drew inspiration from. Each location's art is accompanied with a brief description that entices readers to want to travel and experience these exciting desinations in real life. With over 25 destination spots to explore, you'll truly travel the world in this beautifully illustrated coloring book collection!

Thank you to NetGalley, Walter Foster Publishing, and Eric Dowdle for providing me with an advanced copy to review. I look forward to seeing this coloring book in its printed form.

This coloring book is very cute. The original paintings are gorgeous and very detailed. Next to them is the blank version to color. Because the designs are so intricate this is definitely a coloring book for an older audience. Accompaning each picture and chosen city or landmark around the world are a few sentences of information about the location. This is a fun way to explore many of the fun landmarks across the world. This book will be a delight to anyone who likes to color, whether they are familiar with the artist or not.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I'm always excited when NetGalley has adult coloring books to preview. Thanks for letting me see this one! There were several detailed pictures with ample opportunities to mix up color schemes. I think Prague and Mexico City were my favorites, but there were several great ones. The only complaint I have is that it has places around the world but most of these are European or American. But definitely worth getting if you love adult coloring books

I really enjoyed this fun coloring book! Each page has so much detail. I love that one side has a colored picture and the other side is black and white for coloring. The coloring book is full of so many great places to visit! A travel book and coloring book in one! Definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys Dowdle artwork!

This is the second coloring book by Eric Dowdle that I have seen. As is true for the first one as well, Dowdle is a master craftsman. His drawings are very intricate and detailed. I think that in many ways that makes these coloring books for older kids and for adults.

This time, Dowdle takes us around the world in his folk style. For each picture, there is one colored by him alongside the one who wants to color. There are then additional coloring pages for many of the locations along with some information.

Start the tour with Amsterdam and you will want to keep going. This is truly a nice books.

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.

Beautiful colouring book with extensive minor details throughout. I also like the information on the different cities from all across the world. There’s a lot of attention to detail throughout this colouring book for people who enjoy that sort of thing!

Like a lot of the world, I have admired and enjoyed Eric Dowdle’s artwork in other creative forms; specifically, both full and mini sized puzzles. So, naturally, a coloring book of his work was right up my alley! Really enjoyed this ARC and how it permits the reader to engage in their own expression of creativity, while having a frame of reference in the original work… also, really appreciated the little nuggets of info and facts accompanying the different landmarks and locations depicted. Many thanks to the author/artist, NetGalley, and publisher for the opportunity to review this ARC!
