There’s something so peaceful about sitting down with a fresh coloring page and letting your creativity flow. Whether you’re an experienced colorist or just picking up markers for the first time since childhood, coloring has a way of grounding us, sparking joy, and bringing a little softness back into everyday life.
✨ I’m so excited to share that my new coloring book, This Is Love: An Inclusive Coloring Book, is now available on Amazon!
This project is close to my heart—it celebrates love, diversity, and everyday cozy moments. Inside, you’ll find:
- 🌈 LGBTQ+ couples & families
- 💞 Interracial love & Black love
- ♿ Body positivity & disability representation
- 🪴 Cozy, everyday scenes like picnics, cooking, reading, gardening, and more
Each page is printed on 8.5” x 8.5” white paper, perfect for markers, colored pencils, or even gel pens.
My Favorite Coloring Supplies
If you’re looking to stock up or try something new, here are a few supplies I personally recommend:
- Ohuhu Alcohol Markers – Smooth, blendable, and a little more premium. If you want vibrant colors and high-quality blending, these are worth it.
- Cheaper Alternative Alcohol Markers – A great option if you’re just starting out or coloring casually.
- White Gel Pens – Perfect for adding highlights, sparkles, or little details that make your pages pop.
- Acrylic Markers – Bold and fun for layering on top of alcohol markers or for coloring larger sections.
These tools really bring each page to life—whether you’re layering soft colors, creating bold contrasts, or just doodling for fun.
Why Coloring Is for Everyone
Coloring isn’t just for kids. It’s a stress reliever, a creative outlet, and a way to celebrate yourself and your community. Every page of This Is Love was designed to reflect real love in all its forms, and I can’t wait to see how you color it in your own style.
