This unique coloring book features some of the greatest paintings of all time. This Light Grayscale Edition has lighter grayscale images to give the colorist more flexibility in which coloring mediums to use. The original edition with dark gray scale images is still available for people who like the darker backgrounds and use gel pens or other mediums that work well on dark paper. - Full-color photograph of famous paintings on the left. - Black and white version of the painting on the right. Use the black and white (grayscale) image as a guide to color exactly as the original artist or make it your own. -New, lighter grayscale images for coloring with colored pencils or other coloring mediums. - Color lightly over the grayscale image to allow the shading to show which adds depth to your work. If you prefer, use markers, gel pens, or other opaque coloring mediums to cover the black and white photo completely. - For dramatic emphasis, experiment with selectively coloring a focal point of the image and allow the rest of the black and white photo to show. - Includes title, date, and original artist for each painting - Each page has a glossy finish. Pages can be photocopied if a matte finish is preferred.
