Step into the enchanting world of Maria Trolle’s colouring books, where delicate flowers, whimsical animals, and magical garden scenes await on every page.
One of the things I love most about these books is their hardback format — it feels extra special to hold, like a little art treasure and include beautiful paper that’s perfect for coloured pencils and gives a smooth, satisfying colouring experience.
One important note: the illustrations are printed on both sides of the page, so they’re not ideal for alcohol markers (which can bleed through).
But whether you’re in the mood for a quick, satisfying page or want to spend hours layering colours and techniques, Maria Trolle’s books offer the perfect blend of simplicity and depth for every mood. Each title is packed with lush botanicals, hidden...
These books measure 8.3 x 0.6 x 10 inches.

There’s something truly magical and beautiful about Kanoko Egusa’s colouring books that’s hard to describe — each page feels like stepping into a delicate, enchanted world where animals have their own stories and personalities. The illustrations are ...
The books come in a lovely square format (about 25 x 25 cm / 9.6 x 9.6 inches), and the paper quality is really nice to colour on — it handles pencils beautifully and makes the whole experience feel extra special.
In my experience, these books lean a bit more advanced — they’re wonderful to own as a beginner but might not be the easiest starting point. That said, every colourist’s journey is personal, and you might find they inspire you to jump right in!
Whether you’re drawn to the playful animals, the intricate patterns, or the sheer charm of Kanoko Egusa’s artistic style, these books are a truly magical addition to any colouring collection.

Johanna Basford’s colouring books are true icons in the adult colouring world — packed with delicate, detailed, nature-inspired illustrations that transport you into magical gardens, forests, oceans, and dreamy, imaginary lands.
The majority of Johanna's books come in a large square format (about 25 x 25 cm / 10 x 10 inches), giving you plenty of space to enjoy the intricate designs. Miniature editions (like the Miniature Secret Garden or Miniature Enchanted Forest) are smaller and travel-friendly, p...
The paper is smooth and lovely to colour on, working beautifully with coloured pencils, gel pens, and even very light watercolour (if you’re gentle!). Just keep in mind: the pages are double-sided, so it’s best to avoid alcohol markers, as they can b...

Eriy’s Romantic Country series is iconic in the adult colouring world — a true favourite among colourists who love delicate, old-world charm.
These books take you into the hand-drawn fantasy land of Cocot, filled with cozy villages, fairytale castles, bustling marketplaces, and enchanting countryside scenes, all drawn using a toothpick dipped in ink for a uniquely soft, detailed look.
The books come in a square format ( 23 x 23 cm / 9 x 9 inches), making them easy for the short sighted! But packed with enough detail to keep both beginners and experienced colourists happy.
The pages are double-sided, so they’re best suited for coloured pencils, water-based markers (carefully), or even light watercolour (if you go gently) — but they’re not ideal for alcohol markers, which can bleed through.
While I currently only have The First Tale and The Second Tale listed, there are other books from Eiry in my collection, though some can be a bit tricky to track down.
These two are wonderful starting points though for anyone wanting to explore Eriy’s enchanting world and enjoy a peaceful, whimsical colouring escape.

The Matchstick Mouse colouring books by Morgan O’Brien have become a real favourite in the colouring world — and it’s easy to see why! These sweet little books feature an adorable tiny mouse and friends, all drawn in a soft, charming illustration sty...
The books are single-sided and printed on Amazon paper (which, let’s be honest, isn’t always the best quality), but the beauty is that since the pages are single-sided, you can happily use markers without worrying too much — just pop a blotter sheet ...
One of the real joys of these books is the smaller-sized illustrations, which feel approachable and satisfying to complete.
They’re great when you want a fun, no-pressure colouring session or want to play around with new colours or techniques without committing to a massive, detailed page.

Christl Vogl’s colouring books are little treasures for anyone who loves soft, fairytale-style illustrations with a nostalgic, delicate charm.
These books come in a smaller, square format that’s easy to hold — perfect for curling up with on the sofa or popping into a bag to take along for cosy colouring on the go.
The pages are single-sided, so you can safely use a variety of colouring mediums (including markers, as long as you slip a blotter sheet underneath). The paper quality is light to medium weight — great for coloured pencils, careful gel pens, or water...
A quick note: the writing in these books is in German, but it doesn’t take away from the colouring experience at all.
The illustrations are the true heart of the book, and they speak for themselves beautifully, no matter the language. What makes Christl Vogl’s books especially beginner-friendly is her sketchy, softly shaded linework, which naturally shows where shad...
All books measure 21.2 x 21.3 cm or 8.34 x 8.34 inches.
