Coloring Books – New Releases – February 2021
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all coloring books being released. Bear in mind, that there are hundreds and hundreds of books being released every month. I cannot possibly keep up with all of them!
This list of new releases is only books that have taken my fancy, and that I think that you may like as well. Due to the high cost of postage for most readers, this list will usually not include International releases.
Please also bear in mind that different countries often have different publication dates. Something may be released in the US earlier than in the UK or vice versa.
I have included a few books that you might like to pre-order as well
If you know of a new release that you think I may be interested in, leave a comment in the area below
let’s go …

Something different ….
Flower Color Theory
This is not a coloring book but a fabulous resource book for colorists who enjoy coloring florals. The publisher’s blurb promises a “guide that uses color theory as inspiration for flower arrangements. The book features 175 arrangements that show myriad ways to combine flowers of different hues, all built around color schemes including analogous, complementary, monochromatic, triadic, transitional, and accent colors.” This seems like it would be a great book for helping colorists select color schemes that work well on floral based pages.

Art & Healing at Mayo Clinic: How Fine Art and World-Class Medicine Combine to Stimulate the Healing Process
Many people enjoy coloring as part of art therapy which is why this new book by the Mayo Clinic appealed to me. It is NOT a coloring book but promises “to take you inside the Mayo Clinic to present how the world’s leading hospital employs art as a form of holistic healing and patient care“. It’s an interesting concept and from what I can see of the art book it looks like it would make a lovely book to browse and relax with.
