Best Supplies for Adult Coloring Pages

You do not need anything fancy to enjoy these pages. Regular printer paper works well for colored pencils. If you want to use markers, print on white cardstock so the paper is thicker and less likely to bleed through.

Colored pencils give you the most control for detailed mandalas and patterns. Markers are nice for bold color, and gel pens add little pops of shine to small details.
