Book excerpt: Color your favorite Dutch master painting with this enchanting book in the Color Your Own classic art coloring book series—a celebration of some of the greatest works by Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and more. The Dutch Golden Age of painting spanned most of the seventeenth century and gave rise to some of the most renowned painters in history. Focusing on the world around them, artists such as Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt painted detailed portraits, elaborate scenes of everyday life, landscapes, and ornate still life studies. With Color Your Own Dutch Masters, art lovers and coloring enthusiasts can color twenty-two of the most famous works from the Dutch Golden Age—Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Rembrandt’s The Night Watch, Paulus Potter’s The Bull, Frans Hals’ The Merry Drinker, Carel Fabritius’ The Goldfinch, Vermeer’s The Milkmaid, and more—selected by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and reproduced in stunning detailed black-and-white line drawings. Color Your Own Dutch Masters is printed on a heavy, absorbent paper stock, welcoming to any medium—paints, color pencils, crayons, markers—and includes an index of the original paintings to help color the images using true-to-life shades, as well as a 3 millimeter board that acts as an easel, making the images easy to color.
