An Adult Colouring Book: Vol. 1: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

Colouring is for kids – right? Not necessarily. Adults are getting into colouring in a big way. It’s said to relieve stress and anxiety, even lower your blood pressure. It’s definitely cathartic. So – you can colour geometric shapes with your morning coffee – if you want to. But free spirits are looking for something more, so what about an ‘adult’ colouring book? The hand-drawn pen outlines in this book are taken from alternative art photographs to provide an individual experience. Why not sharpen up your pencils and your creativity to produce your own art pictures, pictures that celebrate the greatest art form of all, the human body? The book contains 15 illustrations ready to be coloured. The pages are single sided allowing them to be carefully removed and framed once completed.

Kate has been studying art for as long as she can remember. Back in 1999 she became a qualified medical illustrator, but due to an aversion to blood found her life taking a different route. She opened a pet portrait business, which became successful, but she found she wanted and needed more of a challenge. This came in the form of the human body. Not wanting to just draw portraits and nude models she was looking for something else. Something more. Then in 2015 she found it. She stumbled upon a social site that allowed people to express themselves in different ways. People who wanted to feel free and both give and take pleasure. She joined and soon found herself amongst others who wanted to push their bodies to extremes. Not only through the limits of physicality but also through emotion. Suddenly she found that by drawing the human body with rope, she could capture a vulnerability that had been missing. So now she draws what others label as erotic art, although Kate maintains that it is just art. She looks, not for sexuality, but for beauty in form and emotion. So the line drawings that are included in this book are not overtly sexual but they are sensual. Kate describes herself as a sensual artist as opposed to an erotic artist.
