Corry de Vries, Grayscale Coloring Book, Velvet Noel

Step into a Christmas world dressed in velvet, winter blossoms and sparkling jewels, where timeless elegance meets the warmth and wonder of the festive season.

Velvet Noel presents 60 distinctive coloring portraits inspired by the beauty, glamour and atmosphere of Christmas and winter.

Within these pages, elegant women appear in an ever-changing collection of festive looks. Flowing curls and graceful updos are adorned with poinsettias, holly, berries, pine branches, ribbons, ornaments and winter flowers. Luxurious dresses, dramatic ruffles, delicate jewelry and decorative details bring richness and character to every portrait.

Some illustrations feel romantic and timeless, with soft winter landscapes and traditional Christmas touches. Others are bold and glamorous, combining striking fashion, elaborate accessories and vivid festive decoration. A few introduce a more imaginative or contemporary mood, creating a collection that deliberately moves between different styles rather than repeating the same type of portrait from page to page.

The variety continues through hairstyles, facial features, clothing, accessories, compositions and backgrounds. Snow-covered forests, glowing lights, festive ornaments and quieter decorative settings each create a different atmosphere and offer new possibilities for color.

Choose traditional Christmas reds, forest greens and shimmering golds, explore icy blues and silvers, soften a portrait with winter pastels, or create an entirely unexpected festive palette. Hair, fabrics, jewelry, flowers and seasonal decorations provide wonderful opportunities to experiment with color, light, texture and contrast.
