Review: This is a super book. I live on a very tight budget ... - This is a super book. I live on a very tight budget and needed some art supplies and here is this book telling us how to make our own paints etc. with such common ingredients as coffee and beetroot water! I actually had a friend who did similar things once and the level of specification you can get when you make your own is excellent, you can even choose whether to have large pigments or small pigments with many things, it just depends how finely you grind them. This book also tells you how to make paper, prints and presses too. It will keep you supplied with paints etc. for the rest of your life. Its surprising how many things you have around you can be used. The author suggests empty bones can be used to store paints and I have many that have had the marrow chewed out of them by our dogs and these would do perfectly. But if you want to supplement the books ideas with, for example, gum arabic or different pigments Cornelissen in London have everything. This book would be good for people who re-anactors and people who do living history and want to use authentic ink, paper etc. the details of how to make it are all here.

The book looks as if it were produced by a big publishing house, but I suspect this is down to good design on the part of the author, who has also illustrated it throughout. A worthwhile read, very heartening ## Frequently Bought Together - The Organic Artist: Make Your Own Paint, Paper, Pigments, Prints and More from Nature - Found and Ground: A practical guide to making your own foraged paints - Make Ink: A Forager’s Guide to Natural Inkmaking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/56298863-the-organic-artist-make-your-own-paint-paper-pigments-prints](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/56298863-the-organic-artist-make-your-own-paint-paper-pigments-prints) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
