    About the Author

    Kindle Grace Lightfoot


    Born in Oklahoma, with fierce
    Comanche blood in her veins,
    Kindle Grace Lightfoot spent hours
    and hours as a young girl riding
    horses and drawing. She found
    herself guiding towards arts
    programs and psychology in
    college, attending Northwestern
    University, where she graduated
    with honors.
    She began a career that started
    in counseling for children that were
    having learning issues in school.
    She eventually began working with
    adults who were suffering attention
    deficit issues and began thinking of
    ways to inspire people through
    artwork.
    This Adult Coloring Book is the
    culmination of years of research,
    and time with both children and
    adults investigating the mysteries of
    the mind and unlocking our full
    potential through the use of art and
    coloring.
    How to use the Adult
    Coloring Book…
    KINDLE USERS: Use tracing
    paper on top of your reading
    devices and use pencil to outline
    the designs. You could also place
    your kindle directly on a photo
    copier and give that a shot! Have
    some fun!!
    This book is a collaboration
    between artists, designers, and
    psychologists. This book not only
    soothes you, but also increases
    mental stimulation. The pictures
    and designs may seem random at
    first glance, but they’re anything
    but.
    Our idea with this project was to
    both inspire you, and increase
    neuronal activity and stimulation in
    a way that activates very unique
    parts of your mind. There are fields
    of research suggesting that both
    children and adults who work with
    coloring books and designs can
    effectively raise their IQ.
    So have fun, relax, let the
    markers and pens do what they
    will, and hang on for an incredible,
    mind altering ride!
    Every few designs will have
    some advice for you in what color
    schemes to complete the artwork.
    You can follow this advice or just
    go about it with whatever colors
    your mind desires. We added the
    coloring advice in order to give the
    designer (you) a very introspective
    and mind expanding experience.
    To help you bring your full art
    and color to life, we’ve left the
    outlines slightly gray instead of
    harsh black. Your ideas and the
    beauty you create are more
    important than the original designs.
    This is for you!
    MARKER NOTE:
    If you feel like using markers, we
    suggest Staedtler Triplus
    Fineliner marker pens. They’re
    easy to use and are very good when
    it comes to bleeding issues. We’ve
    chosen a paper that we feel offers
    the best compromise between
    durability and brightness so that
    your ideas come to life without
    being encumbered by the paper.
    Coloring Advice:
    In the following designs we would like
    you to try your hand with bright colors.
    Try radiant reds, glowing greens, bold
    blues, and voracious violets and purples.
    Try starting in the center of each design
    and coloring your way outward. These
    first designs are all about finding your
    comfort zone with the color. You’ll
    naturally find colors you like to use more
    due to your own personal preferences.
    Well, this is our chance to engage the
    brightest and most outrageous of those!
    Let's see what kind of true magic we can
    create with bright, exciting colors.
    Color Advice:
    Let’s limit our color choices this time to
    earth tones:
    Brown, yellow, orange, and those colors
    in between. These designs are more
    uniform, more symmetrical and you are
    looking for balance.
    Before you begin coloring, take a good
    look at the design and then close the book
    for a few minutes. Then come back to the
    design after your mind has had some time
    to process in your imagination is
    preparing to engage.
    Let's see what we can create!
    Color advice:
    In the following designs we are going to
    restrict ourselves to pencil only. If you
    have colored pencils, try restricting your
    choices to black, white, or any of the gray
    tones in between. If you have a simple
    pencil, that will do just fine, as you are
    going to focus on different shades of
    pencil gray.
    Try to create designs that have debt and
    character without being overwhelmed by
    the color!
    Color advice:
    in the next designs you can use any two
    colors as a pair, but you must restrict
    yourself to only two colors per design.
    Try:
    Red + purple
    Yellow + brown
    Purple + yellow
    Etc.
    Color advice:
    It’s time to get freaky, and pulled out all
    the stops.
    Every color you have it your disposal you
    must use. If that means you have a marker
    set with 48 different colors, you have to
    find a way to use all 48 colors!
    This is your chance to completely explore
    the range of your imagination. Try not to
    let the same color touch any adjacent
    design spaces. Essentially, we want you
    to use every color you have available to
    you while spreading them out as evenly as
    possible so that no two pieces with the
    same color make contact with one
    another.
    Color advice
    It’s time to flow again! But this time . . .
    in THREE’s.
    In this set of designs you are going to
    focus on using as much color as possible.
    In the following designs we want you to
    narrow your focus again, concentrating on
    groups of just three colors. Pick THREE
    colors you wish to use on each design and
    stick to them. Focus on balance and
    symmetry, while paying attention to the
    subject matter as well. Is your garden
    filled with rich colors, or shades of green
    and yellow and blue?
    Are your emotions helping you decide
    which direction to go in? Are your
    gardens dark and foreboding or bright and
    prosperous?
    It's up to you, but you should try
    restricting yourself to only THREE
    colors.
    Celebrate Your Work!
    We don't just want you to finish the
    coloring book and stop. No! There is
    more to be done.
    Thinking inside the lines is conventional
    and safe. But life is not about convention
    is about taking chances and experiencing
    personal satisfaction that comes from the
    opportunities that those chances create!
    So we want you to go backwards, from
    this last stars and stripes design and color
    the outside of each design all the way to
    the borders of each page. We recommend
    that you begin with a fine black pen, or
    even a pencil if you choose, to create
    your versions of symmetry and art
    surrounding the designs that you have
    colored.
    These are no longer our designs, they
    have become yours, as personal as your
    fingerprints! We want you to draw and
    color outside the designs so that the entire
    page is a beautiful canvas which exudes
    your inner beauty and deepest thoughts.
    You are far from finished, now the real
    inspiration begins. How will you continue
    the beauty of your pieces?
    When you get back to the beginning of the
    book after having finished all the designs,
    coloring the entire pages, please select
    your five best works and post them with a
    review on Amazon so that all can share in
    the beauty of created.
    Now get to work!
