Quarry Books The Organic Artist: Make Your Own Paint, Paper, Pigments, Prints and More from Nature

Useful information, and extremely excited to learn how to craft everything

I am a mixed media artist who works a lot with ink and watercolor, but I am also an avid gardener, thrifter, antique lover... One of the things I love is the sustainable aspect of buying as many "preloved" things as I can. With art, I have baskets of pencils and paints from estate sales of artists now passed over, but I really love the idea of being hands on with making some mediums- my entire palette as it is tends to be earth tones, just what I naturally gravitate to, so this book is PERFECT on so many levels!I love the color of the products shown in the book, the diversity of paint, ink, vessels, paper, etc... I just today started prepping my garden and the woods behind them for the summer growing season, and already my eye is noticing things I could use for pigments, or to grind into paper... I cannot wait to have fun with these methods, and love the in-depth explanations for each! 100% happy with my purchase.

Absolutely brilliant book, it's a real treasure

Artists who love nature, using their hands and experimenting will love this book. Instructions are fairly simple, but I wish it had included a lot of projects to make, since a lot of the ingredients required are not available in a lot of countries. There could have been a little more information on alternatives.Otherwise it's a great book to have when you feel inspired to make art supplies naturally.
