From the creator of the worldwide bestsellers Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest, a beautiful new coloring book that takes you on a magical journey beneath the waves
With Lost Ocean,
Johanna Basford invites color-inners of all ages to discover an
enchanting underwater world hidden in the depths of the sea. Through
intricate pen and ink illustrations to complete, color, and embellish,
readers will meet shoals of exotic fish, curious octopuses, and
delicately penned seahorses. Visit coral reefs and barnacle-studded
shipwrecks, discover intricate shells and pirate treasure. Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest fans and newcomers alike will welcome this creative journey into an inky new world.
For Lost Ocean,
Johanna picked a crisp ivory paper that accentuates and compliments
your chosen color palette. The smooth, untextured pages allow for
beautiful blending or gradient techniques with colored pencils or are
perfect for pens, allowing the nib to glide evenly over the surface
without feathering.
