Ebook: Wild Inks & Paints

An artist’s handbook exploring foraged plants & other gifts from nature. For professional artists as well as hobbyists and families.



Drawing on historical techniques for illumination and calligraphy from East and West, this handbook introduces you to the wonder of transforming natural matter into fully developed art supplies. Learn the basic chemistry behind colours and prepare inks, lakes, paints, pastes, binders, media and drawing tools from plants and materials foraged as the seasons turn, or already present in your kitchen cupboard.

The 138 pages are abundantly illustrated and tightly packed with recipes, techniques, and tips based on my personal testing of every one of them.

Purchasing this PDF also means you'll automatically receive an updated file if I make any revisions in the future. Note it is not possible to print or copy contents from the file.
