Step into the world of great art and add your own colours to some of history’s most recognisable masterpieces.

Colouring the Classics is an adult colouring book featuring 40 famous public-domain paintings and artworks reimagined as detailed black-and-white colouring pages. Portraits, landscapes, animals, flowers and memorable scenes from celebrated artists have been carefully adapted into line art, offering a creative new way to explore familiar works.

The collection travels through different periods, subjects and artistic styles. Discover intriguing portraits such as Lady with an Ermine and the figures of Las Meninas, enjoy beautifully observed animals including Young Hare and The Goldfinch, and colour distinctive scenes such as The Bookworm. Each design preserves the character and recognisable composition of the original while leaving plenty of space for personal interpretation.

Follow the colours of the original masterpiece, research the artist’s palette or ignore tradition completely and create a version that is entirely your own. There are no wrong choices—only new ways to enjoy remarkable art.

The detailed illustrations are printed single-sided, helping to protect finished pictures and allowing colourists to concentrate on one artwork at a time. The variety of compositions provides a satisfying mixture of intricate details, expressive faces, decorative clothing, dramatic scenery and quieter natural subjects.

Ideal for art lovers, museum enthusiasts, history fans and adults who enjoy detailed colouring, Colouring the Classics offers a relaxing and rewarding creative experience. It is also an unusual and thoughtful gift for anyone who has ever wished they could step inside a famous painting and change the colours.

Choose your pencils, rediscover 40 remarkable works of art and become part of their continuing story—one colour at a time.
