Artist Kendra Norton has taken the coloring book to the next level by creating a reverse coloring book with all colors and no lines. Coloring books are now for all ages. No longer just directed towards children as they are now used to help people calm down, meditate, and become more mindful.
The Reverse Coloring Book® contains pages of watercolored works with no lines, allowing users to be creative and draw what they see in the works.
Her Kickstarter describes it best as, "A truly unique, meditative art experience! Think... "adult coloring book" only fresh and in REVERSE! Forget coloring in the lines; forget coloring outside the lines (you rebels)... Now you get to MAKE the Lines."
The Reverse Coloring Book® is available for online purchase.
