Find new creative possibilities with unconventional media—using innovative techniques to turn everyday materials into non-traditional, natural “paints.”

Traditional art supplies will only take you so far! Sometimes you need to try something completely new and different. With the guidance in The Organic Painter, you’ll soon be painting with everyday materials you’d never considered as an artistic medium.

This inspiring book gives you all the techniques and ideas you’ll need to boost your creativity, learn natural paint-making, and be more resourceful with your art materials. Imagine the unique things you’ll make when you create natural paints from coffee, tea, embroidery thread, flame, and more.

Each project in this guidebook comes with instructions on how to make the paint, and also includes experiments and explorations for you to try. Plus, a simple painting accompanies every featured material and combines it with other materials or techniques—so you’ll never lack inspiration.
