I've seen just about every technique there is for painting on paper. I've certainly tried most of them. I'm even going to be teaching a workshop at the local library, in December, on painted paper. So, why would I even need another book about it?
This book by Alisa Golden caught my attention, from the cover to the beautiful photos inside.
And, it is full of techniques with step by step instructions and the best part?
There are projects for making handmade books and cards. There is an origami envelope project, a circle accordion book, shikishi and holder, Venetian Blind book and I could go on and on.
She explains about different kinds of paints, gesso and stencils, acrylic inks, paste and masking.
I actually found this book at Joann's in the sewing section.
I used my 40% coupon to purchase it. That helped with the $24.95 sticker shock.

About Me

- I have raised three children into happy adult humans. I have seven wonderful grandchildren. I have added two delightful women, my daughter-in laws, into our family. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 49 years. I care for and love our Orange Tabby, Louie, Joey the Gray & White and his sister Chloe, All Black and of course, Murphy, the Teddybear dog. I am a mixed media and fiber artist, photographer, and lover of life. I am a self-taught Outsider Artist who creates intuitively and often recycles found objects and materials into my artwork. I love to read, write and spend time with my family and friends. I am a storyteller who will often weave my love of the life stories I hear into my artwork. Most of all I just try to greet each day as an adventure and CREATE my way through it. :)
