July 2020 Book List – Surf Snow and Sky

Ooooh, I have some books to share (plus some books on my “check-out” list).

I just love illustration with pen, ink, and wash (watercolors, alcohol inks, gouache, etc.). Most of all my designs are nature-inspired. Although I’m using Amazon pictures and links, please know you can get these elsewhere. I just use Amazon’s book information (e.g. publishing date, ISBN, etc.).

Claudia Nice on Amazon

If you want a great place to start, check out Claudia Nice on Amazon (click here). I was searching for instruction on how to paint water, ocean, and the sea. Claudia has some great techniques. I was also looking to learn different techniques to show texture.

Felting

I plan to do some felting, but I don’t just plan to make cute little animals for my e-store. I want to some “painting” with textiles. I love the thought of including different threads and ribbons.

Spices, Herbs, and Cooking!!!

What?! YES!!! I want to learn about spices, herbs, and the science of cooking so that I can write in “Surf, Snow, and Sky” as well as my health and wellness site, “Integrative Wellness and Movement“. I like to make things from scratch from the best ingredients that I can source. I love the idea of farm-to-table. I want to be able to post some of my “kitchen experiments”!
