Geninne's Art: Birds in Watercolor, Collage, and Ink REVIEW

The wonderful cover of this book caught my attention. Inside is a feast for the eyes. Geninne's Art: Birds in Watercolor, Collage, and Ink: A field guide to art techniques and observing in the wild by Geninne D. Zlatkis. It includes 32 pages of fabulous 8.6 x 10 inch (21.9 x 25.4 cm) original art collage paper. These pages are perforated for easy removal. Geninne shares the intimate details of how she nurtures her creativity. We get to see how she sets up her work space and the tools and materials she chooses. Geninne shows how she uses photography - the details of which find their way into her work. In the chapters on Watercolor, Collage and Drawing with Ink we see her work from field to finish. This book is a keeper. I will read it front to back. I've already had several light bulb moments! The 160 page paperback was released on June 12, 2018 from publisher Quarry Books.
