I love to take some time out of every day to make something. I spend a lot of time at my computer so love to shut my laptop and pick up my latest paper cut or adult colouring book. I’ve always enjoyed colouring in and I’ve had a lot of practice with my own children who love to colour. Thankfully someone came up with the idea of colouring books for grown ups and it’s been lovely to have some gorgeous colouring books for myself.
I know my readers also seem to enjoy the craze of adult colouring books so today I’m going to tell you about Colouring Shakespeare: over 30 stunning illustrations from Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets and speeches. These include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Twelfth Night, and A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream, as well as Sonnets 18 (‘Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day’) and 166 (‘Let me not to the marriage of true minds), among many others.
This is a unique colouring book from talented artist Judy Stevens, featuring 31 illustrations inspired by and accompanied by William Shakespeare’s (1564–1616) most famous poems and quotations. It combines original artwork with the immortal words of the bard, in honour of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. This is also a foreword by celebrated actor, director and writer, Simon Callow.
“What colours to find! Just let them come to you. They are everywhere in Shakespeare.” (Simon Callow)
Everyone has heard about the benefits of adult colouring books. You can allow yourself to express your creativity through selecting colours, shading, and tone, or by adding pattern and texture. While concentrating on this process you’ll find your mind is free to wander, relax and revitalize.
