Small Victories: A Colouring Book of Little Wins and Miniature Masterpieces

Small size Adult Coloring Book which is perfect for coloring when you are traveling, waiting at the airport or relaxing and watching television. Pick up a pencil and complete a coloring page in a single sitting ☺️

Cute small book which you can carry in your purse but the drawings are same old basically something taken from all other Johanna books,wanted some new ideas, advantage of this is it's smaller drawings and you can colour it fast

It seems like Johanna responded to my secret wish: this is a small jewel. I set a goal for myself: by the end of 2024 I will have completed it. It is a joy, don't miss it! Perfect paper, perfect images.

絵が可愛くて、塗り絵されていない人でも、楽しまれています喜ばれて満足です

It’s as beautiful and whimsical as all her other books. Johanna Basford never disappoint.

Dieses Heft ist echt süß. ❤️Egal wie viel Zeit man hat, für jede Situation gibt es die perfekte Größe. Von kleinen Blumen, über etwas größere Bilder bis hin zu Zeichnungen über eine komplette Seite ist alles dabei.Ich habe mir das Heft ausgesucht um über mein Kreatief hinwegzukommen und ein paar schnelle, kleine Erfolgserlebnisse zu haben und finde, dass es hilft.Alkoholmarker sollte man natürlich nicht nutzen, aber neben Buntstiften kann man locker diverse Gelstifte, Fineliner und Acrylmarker nutzen.Das gelbliche Papier ist schön dick und glatt. Macht Spaß darauf zu malen. Die Farbe ist praktisch, wenn man will, dass Highlights schön zur Geltung kommen, aber Aquarell sieht darauf nicht schön aus. Selbst die Pigmente meiner Albrecht Dürer schaffen es nicht ihre Pigmente zu entfalten.Mehr hab ich nicht getestet. Auf jeden Fall liebe ich jedes einzelne der Bilder sehr und auch die Tatsache, dass es nicht nur ein Thema gibt, finde ich toll. So kann man von Blumen bis Raketen alles ausmalen, worauf man Lust hat.

I’ve never coloured before, although I have recently started to try digital art - badly, although it’s enjoyable. I’ve seen these books for years but never really understood the attraction. But I’m constantly under pressure at work and can’t seem to turn off. So last night I decided to check these books out. Came across JB books and the write ups were positive. I also bought a set of Staedtler Ergosoft (lots of research) to use. They arrived early this morning. Initial impression was that the book one of quality. Beautifully presented. I specifically wanted a small book and something that I could complete quickly. Hence I bought small victories. It’s about 7 inches x 5 inches. I don’t know a huge amount about art paper, but it certainly feels like quality paper. I can’t imagine that pencil colour would bleed through to the next page. Lots of small projects throughout. Anyway I picked one, and made a start (the 1st picture). Didn’t take long, and I possibly spent longer choosing a colour than I did colouring, BUT I know that for the 7-10 mins it took me, I didn’t think of anything other than what I was doing and what colours I could use. It was definitely fun, and as I moved on to my 3rd and 4th project, I started to get a feel for the pencil, and when to add pressure and when not to. I’ll do a review on the pencils too. Back to the book. There are simply dozens of projects. It’s a super size to take on holiday, and the projects small enough to make you feel like you have achieved something. For someone with my personality, that is important. I have to feel productive in everything I do, so it’s nice to achieve something enjoyable in 10 mins. So, final thoughts. I need something to stop me thinking about my work, and to stop me scrolling during the night. It’s only been an hour or so, so I depict know if this is something I may continue, but on first impressions it’s fun and I’m in the moment.
