About This Book

Discover the quiet pleasure of coastal exploration with Coastal Escapes: Shells & Fossils — a monochrome colouring book inspired by shells, fossils and the small treasures found along the shore.

From ammonites and shark teeth to delicate shell forms, seaside discoveries and playful typographic compositions, each design captures something of the character and curiosity of beachcombing.

The bold monochrome artwork is created to feel satisfying to colour while still producing a striking finished image. Familiar coastal forms sit alongside more imaginative compositions, giving the collection plenty of variety from page to page.

Part of the Coastal Escapes collection from Miss Dolly Studios, Shells & Fossils is a creative escape for anyone drawn to the textures, shapes and discoveries of the shoreline.
