Hi Astrid! I would love a copy of your book. My lucky number is 52. The reason why I would like it because the best gift that my husband ever gave me was an original painting of yours - the one of Bertie's Cupcakery. It sits framed on my office wall and I look at it every day. It was me receiving this gift that gave me the impulse to start painting and then colouring. It. made me realise that maybe I can also create art, or at least enjoy being creative as a hobby. I'm still enjoying my hobby and it has had so many benefits to my live. So your drawings are very special to me. All the best, Nico

Emily

I would also love a copy of your book. Working on watercolor paintings from your outlines is so good for my mental health right now during these stressful times. The whole process from tracing to inking to painting is so calming for me. My number choice is 175.

Lucia

Hi Astrid! I love your work! It’s always a moment to relax and unwind when I paint using your drawings. I’d love to win a copy of the book!!! 🌆 I’ll be traveling soon and I’ll be taking a watercolor set for sure.. your book would be the perfect fit!! Live, travel & Paint! 💙💙💙 my lucky number is 113!

Katherine Wood

Hi Astrid I would love to win a copy of your beautiful book. I have tried buying one from Etsy however they are all sold out. At the moment you are not shipping to the UK, hopefully soon, so this is my best chance of obtaining your book. My lucky number is 6 which is also my birth date. Drawing and colouring keeps me sane, chills me out, stops me snacking 😆. Above all just love creating beautiful work x keep safe, happy, healthy ❤️❤️

Hi Astrid, Oooooh, I’ve been anxiously waiting on your coloring book to come out! I cannot draw worth a hoot! I am taking a flower drawing class and it’s sad. I could sit and watch you paint for hours. I love your buildings and I can’t wait to get my hands on your book and color or paint. I have been doing your tutorials. My bricks look pretty good! I will choose number 188. Thank you!

For the last two days the number 17 has been coming to me over and over. Then the letter Q came.. which I found is the 17th letter in the English Alphabet. I did some research on Q and found that Q represents a collection of Jesus' sayings, primarily found in Gospels of Matthew and Luke. But since the discovery of the Nag Hammadi texts (a cash of gospels found in upper Egypt in 1945) and their translation, scholars have been studying it with great vigor. Especially the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas which was excluded from the holy bible. It goes so much deeper for me, but I believe today I will choose the #17 as my lucky number! I have enjoyed so much your rendition of all the curious and quirky shops your draw and paint! I myself love to meander through towns soaking in all the lovely and unique shops when I lived in England for 3 years. (we don't have that kind of diversity over here in the US) Since I cannot travel anymore, I was blessed to find you! I would be honored to receive a copy of your book, and if it is the #17 that you draw, then I shall say THANK YOU JESUS! and to you of course :)! (if you want to know the rest of the story, I shall be happy to share). And thank you for giving one of your books away! Good Luck Everyone!

Hi Astrid, I've only just discovered your work but your oh so charming shopfronts had me instantly hooked! I'm so sorry though... I was telling my friends about your channel and I was calling you ur bananna 😅🤭 oops! I'm a huge collector of colouring books so I'd love a copy of yours... I choose number 217 tyty

Jessica Tell

I have a niece who loves art and architecture - your coloring book will be the perfect gift for her! (And I may need one for myself too)

Jessica Tell

continued~ I choose number 74; I also wanted to mention that I am working on a watercolor painting of the Whitby Bookshop, which I plan to have printed on fabric by Spoonflower, and then make a quilted pillow out of it!!

Paula Lundmark

My lucky number is 197. I am so excited about your coloring book.!! I discovered you during COVID and started painting again because of you and your beautiful work. :) Thank you for all you do and share with us and congrats on the new boolk!

Randi

My number is 177. When I broke my ankle and was laid up I coloured. It allowed me to transport myself to another place, free of pain. I only had Mandelas but storefronts has always been my love. On vacations, I used to take pics of storefronts and my husband would laugh. Not anymore. I can’t wait for your book to come to Canada, as I am healed, but don’t want to stop colouring ever.

Nitin Jain

I can't select the same no. as it has already been picked by someone else in the comments. I am going to instead select no. 10 as that's my daughter's birth date, age and also the date on which the winner will be announced. I hope it's me :-) on the 10th Nov. I found your work during the DIY summer workshop and really enjoyed doing 'Bramble' with you. Your work has really inspired and drawn me to back to watercolor painting. I am currently drawing the 'Creaky Shed' and will post my work soon on the FB group. My 10 yr. old daughter is super fascinated with my work, thanks to you for inspiring her as well.

Marie

Hi Astrid, I've recently become a patron after following your IG account and loving your drawings and painting. I appreciate so many different types of art and craft and think if I lived a hundred years I'd still find more I'd like to try and probably never master any! But, I have recently bought a few brushes and watercolour paints and would love it if my first attempt at it would be in your beautiful book. If I don't win it I'll buy it. I choose the number 7. Thank you for the chance to enter your very generous giveaway x Marie x

Phyllis Wagner

Oh Astrid, I have been following your beautiful ink and watercolor creations with fervor since discovering you back when you first did “Place aux Huiles”. Your artwork has drawn me ever since and I am an avid fan and follow you on instagram consistently! I love this art form and its been a dream of mine since I was a young girl to pursue art . Your color selections are so pretty and you truly have a gift from the Lord above! I am now 70, and finally have the time to do art! Your book will give me the most wonderful practice! I would absolutely LOVE to win, but will purchase your coloring book when it becomes available in the US. Thank you so much for all the hours and love you put into each piece! I have to select a number…. so I select 121.

Katherine Wood

Thank you 💕💕 just ordered one, the last one! ☺️

Beatriz Rodríguez Menchón

Hola Astrid! Te hablo desde Murcia, una pequeña comunidad de España. Hace poquito que he empezado a seguirte desde que te descubrí por Instagram. Tus dibujos me han enamorado y me transmiten mucha paz, justo lo que busco cuando me pongo a colorearlos. Me encanta una taza de café, sonido de lluvia de fondo, una peli y tus dibujos para olvidarme de todo y disfrutar. En cuanto al número.... elijo el 24. Un saludo! Beatriz L)

Brenda Ellis

So thrilled I discovered your You Tube videos a few months back. Have learned so much. Congrats on your new book! My number choice is 21.

Brenee Carvell

Hello, and thanks for the fun giveaway! I’ll choose number 87. I would love to win your watercolor book because frankly I’m kinda tired of flower coloring/ watercolor books. 😁 Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers but after a time they all kind of run together. I love your architecture watercolor pages because each one tells a different story about what goes on inside, and who doesn’t love to snoop on what could be happening in there! (or is that just me😬) Anyway, they get my creativity going, and that makes me happy! Thanks!

Love2Create

I have been following you for awhile. I love your art work!!! Someday can you show us how you draw your illustration’s? I would love to learn to draw beautiful buildings. Congratulations on your new book!! I am selecting the number 116. Thank you so much!!

Urban Anna

Great idea! I’ll show in an upcoming tutorial, but tomorrow it’s all about layering and shading 😃

Randi

Hi there. Wondering if there was an update about purchasing your water paints? Can you please also tell me which watercolour paper you use so I’m able to print on it and paint on it. Thanks so much.

Urban Anna

We have plans to sell a set, coloring book and watercolor paints together!

Tanja Schelle

Hi Astrid, you were the initial inspiration for me to paint shop fronts. Without your magical templates I might never have dared to create such beautiful ilustrations. I first bought the templates on Etsy and then was delighted to be your Patreon member from the begining. I love your inspiration, your templates and the step-by-step tutorials. And now its amazing to have all your works and templates there in one coloring book, I just had to buy it. And what should I say? It's super super beautiful.. And I think it's so great that I'm going to give it to my niece for Christmas. She is a graphic designer, lives in Pretoria, South Africa, illustrates with watercolors in her free time and I am her secret santa this year. That's why I'm just going to throw my lucky number into the pot. Its the 13. All the best and best wishes from Berlin🤗❤️

Hi Astrid, Congratulations!!! What an accomplishment! Your amazing work gathered together and bound so that you will be forever in a hearts and on our drawing tables and minds. I have purchased your pages on Etsy and I have shared your drawings with my art buddy and we have had some of her second graders imitate your buildings. We made copies for the students so they could look up close at the details and try to draw a building. Some of the more reluctant ones chose to decorate your buildings and then color. We did watercolors for their drawings after I showed a slide show of your painted storefronts. They caught on to the fact that the buildings were all different colors—-which we seldom see here in the desert where we live. I retired last year but went back as a sub for teachers. I would love to own your book——hopefully you will autograph—-to show students and have as a treasure. I really appreciate the fact that discovering you on the week long art challenge gave me a whole new perspective as I drive around neighborhoods and look at businesses. I am planning a trip to Mexico soon where the store fronts are the most amazing pops of color ever. I hope you will visit MEXICO some day and grace us with your drawings from there. I will buy a copy as soon as Amazon gets it! Thank you for being on Patreon! May you sell millions of copies and start planning your next book.’

I forgot my lucky number in my last post! 222!!! Thanks

Urban Anna

Congratulations Emily, you have won the coloring book. Will you send me your address to my email urbanannastudio@gmail.com?

Emily

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited!

Audrey

Hello Astrid, Happy new year! I Just received your new coloring Book and I love it. I have one question, is there somewhere I can find the name of the color you are using ? I am very new at coloring and that would help me. Thank you again so much. Cheers from France.

Urban Anna

Hi! Happy newyear to you too! I hope you like my book! The watercolors I mainly use are from Art to Basic, Van Gogh (Royal Talens) and White Nights. In my last video I tell more about the watercolors,

Tamie

Love your style and your generosity in sharing so much of your work! Congratulations on the book, and I’ll go with 212 for my number. Thank you!

Urban Anna

Hi Tamie, this competition is closed sorry! But there's more good stuff coming like discounts for my online course and in the spring a giveaway of two new books!

Catherine Alexander

I love searching for the store fronts on the internet and seeing the location of the storefronts. It’s like you’re taking us on a journey with you 😊
