The Organic Artist

ebook
Drawing on ancient techniques, a primitive-arts instructor shows how to reconnect with nature by making and using your own all-natural art supplies.
The Organic Artist encourages you to return to those days when art was made with all-natural materials, like charcoal and birch bark. Immersing you in the natural world, this book 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. You can refine your drawing skills, as well as increase their appreciation for the visual arts and the natural landscape. Projects and skills covered include:
  • Making paper and wild ink
  • Working with soapstone, clay, wood, and rawhide
  • Printmaking and stenciling
  • Natural pigments and dyes
  • Camouflage and body painting
  • Nature journaling, and more

  • "Clear, concise and easy to follow . . . a pleasure to both use as a how-to book and read through." —Michael Pewtherer, author of Wilderness Survival Handbook
