Let's start this series with a book I just purchased. Water Paper Paint by Heather Smith Jones. I discovered Heather via OakMoss (also lovely and coming up in another Friday Love). Since I am getting back into watercolour painting and loving it so much, this book seemed like a great investment. I'm a very tactile person and so when I opened the cardboard package to find that the book cover feels like lush, heavy watercolour paper I was an instant fangirl. The pictures and examples are beautiful, and the instructions are simple and straightforward. I'm looking forward to digging out my paints and experimenting with some new techniques.
That book looks like a real delight! I love it when textures are used in the making of a book; I'm a touchy-feely girl too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Caren. I adore when the little details, like paper stock, are important to the author/publisher of books. Makes it even more rewarding.
ReplyDeleteI'm very intrigued by this book. I'd love to see some of the results of the projects when you do them!
ReplyDeleteOnce we are in our new place, I'll definitely be digging this puppy out and experimenting with techniques.
