Do you love homemade things? And nature? Or are you just curious? Either way, this book is for you! Find out how to make your own watercolors.
You can gather the raw materials from nature—roadsides, woods, disused lots, even your own backyard! But your own kitchen, with its flowers, leaves, roots, and berries, is an endless source of creativity.
In this richly illustrated book, you will find various methods for extracting colors, a hundred pages of handy profiles with color charts by plant, a calendar for harvesting, techniques for preservation over time, and medieval recipes.
