Are you looking for inspiring art book gift ideas for the artist in your life or as a treat for yourself? In this video, I'll share some of my favourite books from my studio bookshelf! All books featured are listed in the description underneath the video. Share your favourite art books with the other viewers here in the comments section!
I can highly recommend the books of Alan Marshall if you’re interested in printmaking - Suffolk Jewels, The Artful Hare, The Printmaker’s Cat, The Illustrated Garden, Beauty of the Beast, The Elegant Fowl - the list goes on. All deliciously curated books highlighting the work of different printmakers, a real inspirational feast. Thank you for your videos, I’m enjoying them immensely 😊
Thx Natasha for sharing with us your favourite inspiring books! 📚 I’ve been fortunate enough to find all the ones I’m most interested in (7) at my local libraries & look forward to flipping through them! 🙏🏻📚💚
Funny enough I just shared a video myself on books and come to find now at the same time as you! So I only got to watch yours now. Lovely to learn about Mary Fedder’s work I didn’t know her before but found the art very appealing to my taste. I am also very into folk art and love Imagine a Forest, so I may need to get the other one you shared now!
I really love this video! An excellent selection of inspirational books! ✨📚✨ I have been looking forward to seeing another one of your book recommendation videos! I particularly love the Ravilious book, and I was so pleased to see that you featured the Studio book that I gave you too! 😊 I totally agree with you about the Alex plan chest, so useful & one of the few modern non-vintage/antique pieces of furniture that I have in my study. I do love having a peek around an artist’s studio, and I always love seeing what books they have, thank you for sharing some of yours & giving us some insights into your thoughts on them as well! 😊📚📖🧡😘 xxx
glad you are back ❤ I always love book recommendations. I laughed about the 'Alex' part as I recently decided I need one - I start to gather a more serious amount of supplies and finished or wip artworks and right now they are all over the place, which frustrates me a lot. Thank you for the video. The mushroom book is gorgous.
I get the most from people who di art nothing like mine. If they use different colors, layers techniques I can learn more. Looking at their work gives me ideas I can try in my own work. A.K.A Lois Dodd has a wonderful loose way of working that almost looks like pictures color blocked then built on top of. Can't wait to try. Very inspirational.
Thanks for the recommendations, these look lovely! I worked through lisa congdons book on audible which was really great to listen too as well as read 😊
Some gorgeous books! 😍 Thankyou for sharing. I look forward to your next video. I hope to see you play in your sketch book with the looser style again. That was fun. It was beautiful work. And lino cut prints. How awesome! ❤️
Love hearing about the books that inspire other artists! Thank you for sharing, Natasha. I am currently finding inspiration from Uppercase Magazine. I highly recommend giving them a look -- beautiful and inspiring!
Hi Natasha, well done you coming back to UA-cam. Love this video on inspirational art books; I have the Alex drawer unit from IKEA I brought the tall slim one and I love it. Keeps all my art equipment in order and they are lovely quality drawers. Sending lots of love your way xxx 🥰
Glad you are back on UA-cam Natasha,and with another great book review,I just ordered the "secret lives of colour book" and the one on Mary Fedden.the mushroom book would be a good one for Kriksis I think.Its great to hear why these books inspire you.I love Eric Revillos too,especially his engravings and prints as they are so striking visually.I think I might order the one on finding your artistic voice,as it sounds really insightful and inspiring.The bookmarks look stunning as well.(matt)P.s Glad you are getting back into Lino Cuting/printing the textures and marks and patterns that are in your work especially in your bird paintngs will realy translate well into lino prints,I have the Sam Marshall book too and it is a really great book.Hope we get to see some of your lino prints in the future.
@@NatashaNewtonArt I have the Sam Marshall book because before things changed for my life,back in the day I used to make prints,using a combination of mono printing and screen printing and would add final elements by lino printing,I loved the physicality of lino cutting it's like carving in 2D if that makes sense,Sam's book is brilliant and I hope it inspires you as well(Matt)
Hi Natasha, I just bought Imagine a forest as it looks perfect for me to start painting in that style, which may lead me in other style directions, you never know. Sometimes you need a nudge don’t you? So thank you for this lovely look through.
I subscribe to a magazine in the US called In Her Studio, and every quarter there's a new issue sharing studio spaces. It's one of my favorites and reminds me of the Studio book you shared.
I’ve been looking into starting some print making so really appreciate the linocut book recommendation 😊….having said that….ALL of the books looked wonderful and inspiring 😊
The books are gorgeous, I want them all. I brought the David Hockney book after watching your video and it is one of my favourites. Thanks for sharing your lovely books. ❤
I would love to buy some bookmarks for my 3 nieces who are avid readers... one works for a publishing company... one is an academic whose father deals rare books and the other who I used to catch bumping into walls while reading her Harry Potter books... I think your style is so them... if that makes any sense to you. BUT they cannot be the same bookmark... and I would HAVE to keep one for myself. I will wait to buy the card set until I can also buy a bookmark set.
Merry Christmas.....Love the books . thank you for sharing ...I need a color book. I dont have Alex draws my fella build my craft area. as I needle felt ...learing to daw and paint .. and I have a cricut machine. Thank you so much for sharing xxxx
I bought that Eric Ravilous myself a few weeks ago. Never heard of him before but suddenly I'm finding books on him, so I assume he's one of these artists that's had a bit of a critical re-evaluation. The book is beautiful and was budget friendly.
If you like Eric Ravilous and print making id really recommend Edward Bawden by James Russell its a beautiful book. The watercolour lanscapes are beautiful and like you said with Ravilous its like he uses watercolour like pencils. You can tell they were both taught by Paul Nash! Lovely book reviews thank you!

The Lino cut book is a lovely book, I’m predominantly a Lino artist, this is a really helpful book for learning techniques ❤

The mushroom one is totally a Kriksis book! I'm really enjoying reading the artistic voice book - I think you'd get a lot from that one too. :)

That's so nice to hear, I'm glad you like it!
Ooh lovely, it’s never a bad time for book recommendations! I think I may have to give the first one to myself, it looks like just what I need.
You should, it's a good 'un!
I would love to buy some bookmarks for my 3 nieces who are avid readers... one works for a publishing company... one is an academic whose father deals rare books and the other who I used to catch bumping into walls while reading her Harry Potter books...

It's a lovely book, and yes I agree - books about Ravilious seem to be everywhere right now!
Thank you for showing us more books! My favourite one this time was "Trees" from Kelsey Oseid.
I will check this out, thank you!
If you like Eric Ravilous and print making id really recommend Edward Bawden by James Russell its a beautiful book. The watercolour lanscapes are beautiful and like you said with Ravilous its like he uses watercolour like pencils. You can tell they were both taught by Paul Nash! Lovely book reviews thank you!

Can't help a bit of mess when you're being creative! ;)
