It's time to go back to basics! If you're interested in art, but find that it's becoming an increasingly expensive hobby,The Organic Artist is just the book for you! It encourages us all to return to those days when art was made with all-natural materials,
such as charcoal and birch bark. Immersing you in the natural world,The Organic Artist
seeks to inspire creativity by connecting you to your organic roots. In
addition to offering a wide variety of suggestions for using nature as
supplies for art, this
book also introduces the concepts of awareness and perception that are
foundational to the creative process. Readers will refine drawing
skills, as well as increase their appreciation for the visual arts and
the natural landscape. Some of the projects and
skills covered include the following: making paper and wild ink,
working with soapstone, clay, wood, and rawhide, printmaking and
stenciling, natural pigments and dyes, camouflage and body painting, and
nature journaling.
