Geninne's Art: Birds in Watercolor, Collage, and Ink: A field guide to art techniques and observing in the wild by Geninne D. Zlatkis is a book I requested and the review is voluntary. I loved the light and airy feel the art has! I just drew me in and made me feel happy all over. I even had hopes I could do that, but I have been fooled before, lol. There are several step by step projects in the book of all kinds. I love the multiple types of art techniques used. It really loved fun. Something I would love to get my grand daughters too! Awesome beginners book!… (plus d'informations)

Geninne’s Art: Birds in Watercolor, Collage, and Ink
By Gennine D. Zlatkis

Looking for new ideas to use in watercolor, collage, altered book creations, with children or just for fun? This book is one filled with wonderful ideas. The pages are vibrant and alive and made me itch to pick up a paintbrush again. I wrote immediately to my sister to tell her about this book and look forward to using some of the ideas I saw soon in artwork of my own.

The book begins with Gennine’s art studio and preferred supplies along with information about herself, family and her journey as an artist. The descriptions about the photos she takes, how she takes them and then how she incorporates them into her work were easy to follow and make a lot of sense. The chapters wove together the use of acrylic ink with watercolor and acrylic paints and what the best papers were to use when applying them. I loved the incorporation of patterned paper to create birds and plants and well…I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to get back to my art table tomorrow!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry for the ARC – This is my honest review.
