Golden Ratio Coloring Book by Artist Rafael Araujo

I love art, but I also have a soft spot for math and the beautiful patterns found in nature. So when I stumbled upon the Golden Ratio Coloring Book, my inner geek did a little happy dance. A coloring book that combines stunning illustrations with the elegance of the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence? Sign me up! This isn't just your average coloring book. Rafael Araujo's hand-drawn illustrations are intricate, mesmerizing, and based on actual mathematical principles. Coloring these pages feels less like filling in shapes and more like exploring the fundamental beauty of the universe, one perfectly proportioned line at a time. The quality of the book is fantastic too. The paper is thick and holds up well to various coloring mediums, and the fact that the pages are single-sided and detachable is a huge bonus for framing your masterpieces (because trust me, you'll want to!). If you're looking for a coloring experience that's both relaxing and intellectually stimulating, this is it. It's a unique blend of art and science that results in something truly special. It's also a surprisingly cool way to appreciate the golden ratio in action. My crayons (and my brain) are definitely having a party with this one! Highly recommended for anyone who loves art, math, or just beautiful things.

Actually very very impressed! When I first opened the book I did not get what made it so special to color... well, besides the massive therapy of staring into sacred geometry, and special mathematical angles, the paper quality is fantastic, making it easy for the colors to blend. But what I most like about it, is how you can literally choose which spaces you want to color in, and how, and by doing so you are able to create your own patterns within the bigger pattern. Quite brilliant, really. There is no need to follow the "expected" patterns, and in this, not only are we allowed to explore our own creativity, but it also keeps one from getting "bored" of the picture. I can come back to the picture any time I want and continue the same picture using a completely different technique, colors, etc and the overall picture will still look amazing. I've had different people, with different styles color in this book, and it looks incredible every time. It's really magical, no matter what your style is, and how you choose to color the picture, it always comes out looking beautiful. -Must be the sacred geometry, lol. Anyhow, I loved it, and will most likely be ordering another one, once this one is filled in. There's plenty of room for creativity.

This book was a Kickstarter project that I supported. All I saw was a few sketches then and they looked interesting. That's how I got my copy--I saw a few sketches and decided to support the project. Then the book arrived at my house. WOW! The book is amazing!! Each drawing is my favorite until I turn the page and see the next one. The detailed drawings are fascinating to look at and study. This book is so wonderful I just have to share it with a couple of my friends so, I have now bought two more to give to friends as Christmas gifts. Get your own copy---you'll be happy you did!

Was interested in geometric coloring book and understanding golden ratio and its effect on natural design. Rafael Araujo's current work is significant work towards blending both the flavor. While going trough the pages of the art works I wished for some explanation of the drawings and overall evolution of the art works and how and where the exact Golden ratio has been used. The details of the drawings are mind boggling but unexplained. Perhaps the idea of a sequel volume with the more explanation of the measures and stereo graphic projections and the design steps can be contemplated. An interesting topic can be application of golden ratio in Penrose tiling. The overall design of the book is well thought after and leaves the reader/artist with plenty of coloring ideas. Special mention must be made of the high quality of the canvas like paper the book is made of. An absolute joy!!

keep it everyday

This is the most amazing set of drawings on the most incredible paper by an amazing artist - I originally backed this book on kick starter - I have used colored pencil both oil and wax and now I’m using watercolor – I have also bought many different copies for friends and more for myself because I just can’t get enough of this you can create your own designs see what patterns you see and create masterpieces of your own and it’s 100 stars - jus fabulous

This is a fantastic coloring book for adults (I haven't tested it on children but I think they'd love it as well). The drawings are splendid, I LOVE that everything is based on the Golden Ratio, and also a detail often missed in these kinds of coloring books: the paper is thick with a lovely texture. It's like good watercolor paper. You could take the pages out and frame them if you wanted to. I highly recommend this wonderful book.

Me falta pintarlo, pero las ilustraciones están muy bien hechas. El papel es excelente para colorearlo.

Beaucoup trop chèr pour ce petit livre qui n'a aucune explication, seulement des images. Bien faites mais très peu nombreuses
