7 Vintage Illustrated Books to Inspire You & Me

Hi everyone!
I hope you are doing well.
In this video I'll share 7 beautifully illustrated vintage books I got from Amazon and WOB (Links below) for reference. I've always been fascinated by natural history since I was a kid, and looking at these books just fills me with inspiration to create as an artist. I hope they inspire you too!
XOXO
Carol

ABOUT ME: My name is Carolina. I’m originally from Brazil, but I live in Dublin, Ireland.
I’ve always thought of sharing some of my happy discoveries and art here on UA-cam, and recently finally decided to give it a try.
My channel is new and small, but I’m happy to have you here and so I can keep sharing and growing with this wonderful community of artists and art enthusiasts.
My academic background is in literature, but I’ve always been passionate about creating art and art supplies. My favourite art supplies are watercolours, but I also use ink, gouache and coloured pencils on occasion.
This channel is all about sharing new and exciting art supplies, where to get them and what to do with them. I will also be sharing some of my art and techniques.

OMG! I had some of these books when I was a child! So nice to see them still alive and appreciated.

Oh that’s nice! I loved browsing through these types of books when I was a child

@@coloredcarol8074 Unfortunately, I don't have space now, but back when I did, I used to go charity shops as you did and buy books there. These books about nature or gardening, they don't get old if well treated & they're endless source of inspiration.

I'm new to your channel, and I love your book selections! If i could be so bold, I would offer ine suggestion. Please turn down the background music or totally remove it because it drowns out your lovely voice! Thank you! 💜

Hi there and welcome to the channel! Thank you for the feedback 🥰 I think I removed music in my subsequent videos, but I’ll certainly keep that in mind for future ones ☺️
