Well so do I. The idea of creating this online coloring books website was in my mind for a long time - and finally I decided it was time to do something about it.

I have drawn and painted since I was a toddler. All through my childhood I remember sitting somewhere with crayons, coloring pictures in a coloring book. Those were kids coloring pages of course, and I could never have enough coloring books for myself. I just loved them. When ever my parents bought me a new coloring book it felt like Christmas all over again.

My love for coloring books developed into love of
drawing and eventually I started painting on canvas.
(My speciality were and still are horses). I´ve had my own art shows and paintings exhibited abroad too. Learning about colors had everything to do with the coloring books of my childhood.

I know most coloring books and coloring sheets are for children, but adults color too! It is a relaxing hobby that brings a lot of joy. There are adult coloring pages also that are very detailed and challenging - but oh so much fun!

For children coloring teaches patience and attention to detail. But most of all - it is fun! Using all those beautiful colors might even awaken a true artist in a child.

What makes these online coloring books so unique then?

Well - I have drawn them myself. So you can find them only here. And because they are online, they are printable coloring pages. You don´t need to drive to a store to get them. You´ll find free coloring pages under each section. So easy!

And you know what? If you want to send your finished artwork for everyone to see, you can do so! Color the pictures and send them back to me (you´ll find a form just for that purpose on each page) and I shall publish them here. No matter what your age - I´d just love to see how you colored them.

I hope you´ll have as much fun coloring these pictures as I had Happy coloring! Have fun!
