Before your first page

Good to know.

What is inside each book?

Our adult books each contain 42 coloring pictures across 100 pages. Palvero Kids books each contain 32 pictures across 72 pages and are designed for kids ages 4 and up. Both series have blank picture backs and an 8.5 × 8.5 inch square format.

Can I color the scene on the cover?

Yes. The scene on the color cover is included as a matching black-and-white illustration inside the book. Follow the cover palette or give the same place a completely different mood.

How detailed are the illustrations?

Sweeping landscapes and open shapes are balanced with smaller discoveries. Some areas are finer than others. The four free original illustrations are the best way to explore the style and see how the spaces suit your tools and the way you like to color.

How can I start with just a few pencils?

Choose a small area, such as a leaf or a flower. Pick three colored pencils you like together and try them on the palette page. Start with light pressure and build up darker areas gradually. You can explore the rest of the picture another day.

Why are the illustration backs blank?

There is no second illustration on the back of your page. This does not prevent wet ink from passing through the paper. Try your tools on a test page and place a separate protective sheet underneath the illustration while coloring.

What paper does the printed book use?

The printed edition has a black-and-white interior on white book paper. The adult books include extra pages for trying tools and color transitions. The free PDF sample lets you explore the illustrations; when printing it at home, you choose your own paper.

What is included in the free sample?

Four complete illustrations from the first two books, an introduction, and a palette page. There is also a separate Palvero Kids sample with one picture from each of the four children’s books. The PDFs are available in English and German, in A4 and US Letter. Download and print it for personal use, with no sign-up.
