About this book
One pen, 50 pictures: Christmas in black and white
Christmas trees, wreaths, stockings, candles, snowy churches, gifts, and ornaments. Each page is an outline drawing with small gray dots in the spaces to fill. Color every dotted space with one black pen and a bold black-and-white picture appears, like a linocut print. No color choices and no decisions: just one pen and a quiet half hour.
- One color only. Follow the small gray dots and fill those spaces with a single black pen or marker.
- 50 single-sided designs. Each page has a blank back, so ink that bleeds through lands on a blank page instead of the next picture.
- Checked for gaps. Every page is checked for gaps in its outlines before it goes to print.
- Light, small dots that disappear under the ink.
- 8.5 x 11 inch pages with a clean frame, ready to display when finished.
- Best with felt tips and fine liners. Slip a spare sheet behind the page, as a lot of ink goes down.
A calm, satisfying gift for anyone who likes to switch off with one pen.
Good to know
What to color with
- One black felt tip or fine liner for the small spaces
- A black brush pen or marker for the big ones
- A sheet of card behind the page: a lot of ink goes down
Every design has a blank back, so a bleed lands on nothing. More in our guide to pens, pencils, and paper.
Will markers bleed through the paper?
Alcohol markers usually do, on any printed coloring book. That is why every design in our books has its own page with a blank back: a bleed lands on nothing. Slip a sheet of card behind the page you are coloring to keep the next page clean. Colored pencils, gel pens, fine liners, and most water-based markers stay on their side.
Where can I buy them?
Our books are printed and sold by Amazon. Each book page here links straight to it on Amazon, and Amazon prints a fresh copy for every order and ships it to you.
