Can anyone recommend any colouring books they particularly like for adults. Also any books that teach total beginners to use coloured pastels. I know I can find these books online, but it’s good to get a recommendation.

In September I am having two toes straighten and I will have my feet up for about 2 weeks and need to fill my time. I thought art would be a lovely way of passing the time.

If you want to develop an art skill then it won't be a colouring book you need..though think they can be satisfyingly calming.
Have a look out for online tutorials or art sessions..they may give you clearer guidance on the particular aspect you want to learn.
I am not particularly artistic..Dick Bruna is my stylegrin

I love the books by Johanna Basford. It feels like she puts a lot of thought into them.

Some of the pictures that people create from her line drawings are amazing.

Try YouTube for art lessons. Some of them are excellent.
