As adult colouring books continue to fill up wish lists, B.C. is finally represented. The idea for a colouring book that included familiar landscapes came to Carrie Wong and Witek Radomski during a hike in the Kootenay mountains.

The couple brought together a group of seven artists — perhaps inspired by Canada’s more famous Group of Seven — and each artist created images from their own landscapes. There are also a few from the artists’ internal landscapes, including magical forests, aliens and a black hole. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2015/11/27/nelson-artists-create-an-adult-colouring-book-that-includes-b-c-and-canadian-landscapes/

Guardian scribe Zoe Williams discovered that five of the top 10 selling books on Amazon were colouring books for adults, while in Brazil, adult colouring books occupied six of the top 10 slots on their non-fiction bestseller list. The movement has finally come to Prince George. http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/entertainment/local-a-e/filling-in-the-blanks-1.2121030

But there are adults who still hold the tradition dear – with more intricate and detailed artwork, colouring has really grown up, and Legendary Landscapes is prepared to bring something new to the table with a colouring book like you’ve never seen before. ...
