This book is a coloring book for adults. It is more complicated than a child's coloring book with smaller and finer details. You have to concentrate to color in all the small shapes. That makes it an ideal method to clear your mind of many negative thoughts and it helps you relieve stress. Coloring will reduce anxiety, and help you focus and will bring you more mindfulness. It is therapeutic. This book has a lot of abstract geometrical shapes in the designs. It is up to you how to color them. There are no right colors, or wrong colors. You don't have to think, you don't have to match colors. Just color the shapes how you feel like at the moment. It is a great way to clear your mind and relax. This coloring book is set-up for weird far-out coloring effects and is great fun. You may easily discover an eye-catching design developing in your coloring. The artist has done other coloring books but he specializes in bigger Hawaiian paintings. All the work here is by the Hawaiian artist Stephen E Jorgensen. He has over 200 other works of beautiful Hawaiian art available on his Etsy website. Most of his work is large canvas wall hangings, some of which are reduced to coloring pages for his Hawaiian Scenes books. See these art works at hawaiiseascapes.etsy.com. The designs here are simple shapes circles, and lines that often overlap and cause optical effects such as moire patterns, often they are a form of Optical Art that were made to dazzle the eyes when just in a black and white form. They look more interesting in color, but to get the effect, the colors should alternating dark and light. You can look at the full color samples shown on the front and back covers to see a way to color the shapes and what the result could look like. You don't have to use the same colors but the images on the covers give you an idea.
