And the winner is…. HOPE THIER! Congratulations, Hope! I’ll be in touch to get your mailing address. Thanks to everyone that entered… it looks like a fabulous book. Here’s to making our own paint in 2015! ; )
……..
Ah, so inspiring! Doesn’t this make you want to live off the land… or at least try making your own art supplies!? Vermont based author, artist, educator Nick Neddo has written this book, “The Organic Artist” to teach all of us how to do exactly that. Paints, paper, paint brushes, oh, and charcoal pencils made with branches… I want to make all of it! This book hits shelves in January, but since I have no self control, I’m going to do a giveaway today {Nick will ship a copy to the winner as soon as it’s available}. So, leave a comment below and I’ll draw one winner on Monday December 15 at noon PST.
{If you can’t wait, you can also preorder the book at QBookshop, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble}

I would love to have this book!
LOve, loVE, Love!
What an awesome idea for a book! I need it!
How cool! I’ve been wanting to explore natural resources for pigments, dyes, and materials.
Yes please… beautiful book! Let’s get inspired 😉
Inspiring!!!
The earthiness of these materials and the book’s approach fill my soul with happiness.
Oh yes! I would love this book and my love is especially the handmade paper. I want to read more and keep my fingers crossed for luck.
pigment is so beautiful to work with!
This book looks amazing!
What a great book, the pictures look amazing!
Wow, I’d be so grateful to have this resource!
This is simply beautiful. I love those earthly colours!
Awesome!! I really want this one!
I want this so bad!!
Thank you for writing such a book! Wow fascinating and wholesome! I would love the chance to look at it, use it, and apply it to my art practice. I have been experimenting with natural dyes with my textiles recently but would love to bring it over to my main squeeze medium- drawing.
Wow this really inspired to be close with Mother Nature and appreciate what She has to offer.
Ah always loved purchasing handmade notebooks, brushes, etc. to do my draws and collages. I think everything done with/ on handmade stuff is so special and warms my heart. What better than making the art materials yourself? I think nothing 🙂
wow this is so great! Everything about this! Always love to see people creating work celebrating nature 🙂
gorgeous, and I’m sure it is amazing to work with, as well as just look at!
I’d love to have this book, my art should become more organic!
Beautiful
This looks amazing, it will give a lot more meaning into my artworks!
Would love to win this amazing book.
What an eyeopener I would never have thought of making my own supplies so this is an amazing discovery. Would love to give it ago. Paints are so expensive and full of chemicals and it would be nice to have the opportunity to not add to environmental damage!
Art is about breathing in one’s own nature. Sometimes this means creating close to nature. Immersing oneself in the textures and colours. This book presents a unique challenge. To make nature subject matter and material. As an artist who wants to be as close to the raw materials as possible this book is a unique and profound opportunity.
I’m so excited by this book. Thank you for featuring it. This looks like something you keep for the rest of your life.
So inspiring!
This book looks amazing!!
Wow. Gorgeous & inspiring x
I have made similar journals and my own paper using organics from my garden, but the pens and brushes are so creative. These photos are stunning and function as a creative prompt. I don’t think I’ve ever won a giveaway, consequently I’ll put this book on my wish list
How incredible – I always wanted to turn to more natural products and away from harmful chemical ones in my art. This book would be an ideal starting point. It looks so delicious – Thank you Nick Neddo for sharing this information and thank you, Jealous Curator for such an awesome give away.
love the idea of this book!
Stunning pictures!!

Would love this!
Wow!! I’ve always wanted to make my own paints -this looks like a must have 🙂
Danielle.. and Nick. The book looks lovely. I’ve talked about being able to make what we need whether it be paint from pigments, food from a garden (slightly more difficult in Brooklyn) or a big friend get together off of what is around the apt. Inspiration is definitely every where you just have to widen your scope.
I’d LOVE to win this gorgeous book!
Very neat concept! I’ve recently started wondering about similar such things, like using natural materials to make makeup and other beauty goods. This takes that idea even further! Would love to find out more.
Yummy! Would love this!

Yay! About time a book like this was published. Can’t wait to see what it suggests. Iknow here in the desert we teach kids about how to make paintbrushes with yucca leaves, but I am sure that there is so much more.
This looks like a beautiful book and I love the idea of making your own tools and pigments! I’ve worked with black walnuts, sweet gum leaves, candle flames and wild black raspberries to experiment with different effects and colors. I would love to learn more!!

This looks really amazing! Are these oyster shells that are used as vessels in the first picture? Wow!
A lot to think about as a restorer. This is astonishing! I made some by myself to deal with academy stuff. A swan feather, lichen… Also the pigment compendium in my mind as an artist…ehhh.. the book would be awesome to continue with!
i could use this in my life.. please?
WAAW what a beautiful colors together!! I really love the idea and want to start right now!

What a treat to “branch” out one’s creativity by going back to the original “roots” of our ancestors’ creative process.
Looks fascinating!

I have been collaborating/experimenting to make sustainable products and craft using such a natural color. So this could be a great christmas gift for us…:)

there are some red hills outside my town I’ve been dying to make paint out of. Love the organic art thing getting attention lately
Oh man, that’s awesome. I hope he includes ceramics glazes!
making your own paint and tools for creating is such a great idea! my daughter is always mixing flowers and plants from the yard to see what color paint it makes. I am sure this book is a great one for all artists (and their kids) to have on the shelf! think of the experiments!
This book completes the cycle, showing how the whole process of creating a work of art can be conducted in a manner that is sympathetic to the environment. It would be a real treasure to own.

I would love this as i teach art to 4-6th graders and want to make paint from places we visit on field trips.
buying stuff and making things is the easy way out. the masters tried. then mankind turned towards comfort at breakneck speeds. i would love to play with this side of things. what a great book to have. (great website this is too. thank you for what you do.)
Far out! Yes please, so inspiring 🙂
I’ve always loved handcrafting and I’m interested in recycling, too. This book would be perfect for me!

i’m thirsty for new colouring stuff
and colour technics, i want so much to try it 🙂
Want!
This book looks amazing!!! I used to work on a natural yarn dying for one foundation up north in Thailand and i just wondering if it is the same thing. I might combine my existing knowhow with this book. Can’t wait to have it… (n__<)/***
How fabulous. A book that epitomises the very essence of creativity, by emphasising the importance of the entire journey towards the finished work, giving the just importance to the often, unjustly, forgotten, all important element, the materials. Love it.
think my sweet friend Suzie would love this, so I’d give it to her 🙂
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
oh, I would love to have that book. Right now I live in the city but my dream is to live and do art at my grandmas old farm when I’m older and already little more established. To know how to make your own art supplies from nature would be amazing. Thank you!
This book looks fantastic! Too much today is made from toxic non degradeable chemicals! I had to try source some natural paints for a project and found a super company but I could of made my own too! Haha 🙂
I would love to win this book- I adore the idea of making all your own tools from nature such a lovely idea that more people should be educated on! I would definitely spread the word and try it all out- I live on a farm and would love to try make it all from my surrounding environment that would be cool. Xxx
amazing book
if I win this book in your drawing, I will give it to my roommate allisonwiles.com who is creating a new body of work for a portfolio to apply to grad school. it will be a very helpful resource in her new pursuit
Hi there!
I was just reading your Creative Block book, just now, and thought I would google your site. And the I discover that you have a link to a book that is in line with both my work and my current line os creative thinking! Great connection.
I will get this book either way, yet I wish to implore you: I am a new mum, planning a solo show for 2015 and have been researching making paper courses in Melbourne this very week! It would be an amazing gift, to be able to teach myself from home – as it can be hard to do long workshops with a 10 month old.
Enough said! Thank you for giving to the creative types, we can all use a little boost sometimes.
Genèvre

gorgeous organic return to nature and art-love it!
Aaahhh finally, custom-made sketchbooks!
How interesting!
I have been dreaming about making natural paints (and starting to use natural dyes!) for a while now. A couple of month’s ago I went fossil hunting with my uncle and instead of being excited for the fossils, I was considering the wonderful pigments I could get by grinding up the embedded shells – not to mention the gorgeous Grey’s and Brown’s of the accompanying sediment layers! Needless to say that after seeing your post, I have been dreaming about this book!
Thinking of all the trial and error that must have gone into this. The late nights, most likely alone. Thank you for doing this. A message to creatives that we can walk in your footsteps in this magical creative process.
wow! Making my own paints sounds amazing!
This is the book I have been waiting for! It will add much to my discussion of pigments and chemistry with students.
wow!! Would love to learn more. Winning this book will be awesome. I’ve used turmeric and other spices to paint with.
Please please would love to win this book
This looks awesome!
I WAAANT IT! This book looks amazing!

Please!!! I have bamboo and sticks and weeds out the wazoo.
I have been looking for something like this forever. Would be amazing to win it in your giveaway. Thank you!
I live on an island in the middle of the pacific…..art supplies are hard to come by. Making my own seems just about the perfect solution. Would love to learn how to make such beautiful tools. Just imagining myself going on excursions to collect some billy goat beard and horse hair tail for brushes now 🙂
Congratulations! such a wonderful idea, sure is a great book!
The colors of the earth…of the Old Masters…of all my favorite places on Planet Earth! How could I possibly resist a book that makes art materials, art tools (MY tools!) out of the dust, twigs and plants of my home world?? Well done, Nick Neddo! Thanks for the giveaway, Madam Curator!
Wow, this looks amazing. And such gorgeous photos!!!!
Oh my gosh I want this book! Please please please pick me! 🙂
