Thank you for these recommendations! Great list of inspiring books! I would love to hear about the watercolor books you recommend as I mostly work with watercolor.
After watching a previous video from you I got the book Botanicum from our local library - it is full of fabulous shape ideas. Already had Still Life on my wish list and have now added Print and Pattern: Nature. Thank you for the recommendations.
Dangerous video to watch! Botanicum is sooooooo good for inspiration and colour. I need to buy it - last time I had it it as a library copy! Thanks for making this video :)
Very interesting selection. Wish our library was more diverse, but it (and the whole system in our area) mostly focuses on kids when it comes to art. So it had only two of the books listed. Would love to see your books on mark making and watercolor! Thanks!
This was great! I too collect books that inspire my art and one of my favorites is called “Around the World in 80 Plants” by Jonathan Drori and illustrated by artist Lucille Clerc. I love being inspired by other artists, too, and you have been one of the most inspirational for the kind of art I do. So, thank you for this.
What a lovely in depth coverage of the diferent styles of book that can inspire. I would love to see something with the themw of mark making. Thank you, very inspiring.
Love that Spectrum inspired you too. It started inspiring me as I was flicking through it, it’s going on my table within easy reach. Such a beautiful book that I want to reference more.
Beautiful diverse collection. I'm behind on video watching at the moment for two reasons. The main reason is I have a very short attention span since my dad died & it's even shorter if something else is on my mind. That leads me to the work I'm doing in my garden to get it sorted out & a new shed installed as mine leaked.
All of the "Welcome to the Museum" series books are so gorgeous. And thank you for introducing me to some new titles here! Off to go find them at the library!
Fantastic recommendations Laura. Thank u for sharing. Can you please also share watercolour book recommendations. Very grateful as this medium is such a challenge to learn ❤🙏❤🙏
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing what helps to inspire you. Mark making books, please! I had no idea there was such a thing. But inspirational ideas would be so helpful. Thank you for all you do to help us unleash our creativity. ♥
Thank you! Not really sure there is such a category of book, but I have some books that come to mind when I think about mark making and developing a visual language so I’ll share those!!
Hi Laura Thanks for sharing these. I am really enjoying your series of book reviews. So inspiring May i suggest you do reviews of books with birds in them if you know of some" Also there are some books by Annie O'Brien Gonzales Bright and colourful :The JOy of Acrylic Painting: and "Bold Expressive Painting" (you may know of these )
très beau livre Laura. J'aime aussi avoir de beaux livres dans ma bibliothèque qui m’inspire dans mon art et les feuilleter le temps d'une pause. belle journée à toi.
A home with a packed bookshelf is a happy home! And I love how art-making encourages us to get books out and leaf through them. Art and Books - a match made in heaven!
When I started painting I bought watercolor books. They are too detailed for me now. Since then I added different color supplies. The: Print & Pattern, would focus me best. For a couple of years I’ve journal crafted. My natural styl is to want to simplify 💕🌼🐾💚
While I love the few watercolour books I have, I don't refer to them as much as other types of books and I certainly relate to the quest for simplification!!
Thank you for these recommendations! Great list of inspiring books! I would love to hear about the watercolor books you recommend as I mostly work with watercolor.
Thank you, I'll definitely keep watercolour related books in mind for a future video in the series.
I bet everyone's local libraries are getting a workout after your book inspiration videos. I know mine is. Thank you 🤩
I think so! 😂 I love the excitement you all share with me about things like art books! 💕
that textile book is gorgeous! especially with the colour palettes to the side 😍
It really is! An absolute beauty 🎨❤️

Fantastic, glad the videos are providing some inspiration. Great idea to get books out from the local library. I love our local library.
Very interesting books! Watercolorbooks would be nice and especially abstract watercolors. Thanks a lot 😊
Great idea!
Abstract, watercolor, Mark, making book if there is such a thing would be great
Dangerous video to watch! Botanicum is sooooooo good for inspiration and colour. I need to buy it - last time I had it it as a library copy! Thanks for making this video :)

I'm so glad you were able to at least find a few of them!
Love love love! 3 books are now in my Amazon wishlist to purchase soon, can’t wait!!

Happy you enjoyed it, I can't wait to put together a mark-making inspiration book video.
I have the Spectrum book and you have inspired me to get it off the shelf again! It really is wonderful.
Love that Spectrum inspired you too. It started inspiring me as I was flicking through it, it’s going on my table within easy reach. Such a beautiful book that I want to reference more.
Fantastic info on art books thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful to you!

My heart goes out to you, my condolences in regards to your father. Creativity will always be waiting for you 💕

Love these art book shares! Thank you, Laura! I am currently curating my own art book library, and this was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful! That sounds so wonderful!
Thanks for sharing! I ordered two of your suggestions from this video and two from your last book recommendation video. 😊
You are very welcome. Enjoy your books!!
Laura this was great. I also have Alli Koch how to draw Modern Florals which I use a lot. Anxious to add Spectrum and Botanicum to my collection
I think you'll love them!

Hi Laura Thanks for sharing these. I am really enjoying your series of book reviews. So inspiring
May i suggest you do reviews of books with birds in them if you know of some"

Thank you again for an informative video. I’d love to see some watercolor books please.

I love Spectrum book because I get inspiration for limited pallets.
Yes! Agree!
très beau livre Laura. J'aime aussi avoir de beaux livres dans ma bibliothèque qui m’inspire dans mon art et les feuilleter le temps d'une pause. belle journée à toi.
A home with a packed bookshelf is a happy home! And I love how art-making encourages us to get books out and leaf through them. Art and Books - a match made in heaven!
These are all so beautiful
They really are! Feel very lucky to have so much inspiration at my fingertips from fantastic authors, painters, photographers, and illustrators!
Thank you for this ❤
You are very welcome!
Mark making please
I'm excited for the mark-making video!

I’ve searched far and wide and can’t find the Gypsy book. It comes up as $2400 on Amazon. Hang on to your copy!
Wow, that is crazy expensive. I know that it is out of print now and hard to get a hold of, but didn't realise it was that hard!
I've been looking for watercolor books. Do you have any recommendations on specific artists, or group of artists?
I don't have as many watercolour books as other books, but I will put together a video soon! Stay tuned.
@@LauraHornArt Thank you!
Abstract, watercolor, Mark, making book if there is such a thing would be great
I'll be on the hunt for it!
