This coloring book is very cute. The original paintings are gorgeous and very detailed. Next to them is the blank version to color. Because the designs are so intricate this is definitely a coloring book for an older audience. Accompaning each picture and chosen Beautiful Beach are a few sentences of information about the location. This book will be a delight to anyone who likes to color, whether they are familiar with the artist or not.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What a beautiful, yet really refreshing colouring book. The designs are original, detailed and truly charming. There are some lovely scenes, and a variety of interesting characters to colour. Would have preferred a hard copy to read and review properly, as the illustrations are stunning! I like that you can follow the guide, and copy their colouring suggestions, or completely do your own thing.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

Thank you to NetGalley for this beautiful and intricately detailed ebook - Beautiful Beaches by Eric Dowdle in exchange for a honest review. The pictures in this book are outstanding with minute details. I loved that some of these beaches are the present and some are from the past. The beaches are all colored in and then there is an identical page- whereyou can use the same colors or different ones to illustrate your blank page.. Some beaches have additional blank pages to color also . I highly recommend this beautiful book with many of the beaches I have visited throughout the world.

I wondered how this book was going to show differences between different beaches and I wasn't disappointed. Every detailed picture has a short description, along with drawings that include plants, animals, buildings, and people having fun in various ways. This was so much fun!
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me preview this coloring book

This a beautifully drawn coloring book by Eric Dowdle. Each picture has you touring the beaches and towns of beautiful places like Aruba, Key West, and St. Maarten to name a few. I enjoyed seeing and learning about each place featured in this book. It's a wonderful book for adults and young teens.

The Eric Dowdle Coloring Book: Beautiful Beaches is such a vibrant and intricate coloring book--perfect for coloring enthusiasts!

Colorists aged 13 and up will be captivated by the full-page, colored works of art depicting the various locations featured in the collection. Each scene is full of life and intricately detailed. The bright, vivid colors also serve as perfect inspiration for your own works of art. You'll want to keep a pencil sharpener handy as you color each page! It's all about the details in this beach-inspired collection.

Each location's art is accompanied with a brief description that entices readers to want to travel and experience the beaches in real life.

Beautiful and intricate. I loved the colored examples of each location and the informative blurbs. Some of the line work is a little heavy but adds to the charm of the art. This is a welcome addition for any colorists. Adding to wishlist.

Another great colouring book from Eric Dowdle. I always appreciate the inclusion of a beautiful inspiration image of the location and think it really conveys the atmosphere of each particular location. The colouring images are intricately detailed and I really like the inclusion of key facts about each place.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

What a beautiful colouring book with exceptional artwork that anyone who likes colouring would thoroughly enjoy. As other reviewers have said this is definitely aimed at the adult market due to the intricacies of the patterns displayed.
As someone who enjoys colouring, but prefers a tablet screen, I would also suggest an online/pdf version (I would pay to download this!) People could then either print patterns at home or use technology to colour!

Excellent colouring book, will definitely be looking for once published!
