Cozy Days: The Art of Iraville (book review)

[@KimberlyCrick]

This is one of the best watercolor art books I've ever bought. I expected just a gallery of her work, but it ended up being so much more than that. You can tell the artist really took this project seriously and it paid off with this beautiful book. I loved all the behind the scenes stuff too about her paint making and how to bind your own sketchbook with any paper you want. The print quality and binding are also stellar and it feels lengthy and complete - well worth the cost. I agree Teoh, I too highly recommend it to any watercolor artist or fan of this style of work :)

I love her work, the book is tempting

[@Nang-kaa]

Wow! Thank u so much flipping though the pages and explaining almost everything and going slow so we could actually have an idea. Really appreciate it! Now, I'm going to buy this book for sure! 👋

Very nice book of such good watercolor art, its amazing the talent that went into this book.

[@ukitari]

I pre-ordered her book and am using it for reference. Thank you for supporting her!

[@LeaGalTan]

This book looks like a MUST HAVE! Thank you for the review. I don't think I would have time to make my own paints and sketch book but It would be great to know how. Love her color palette and design.

[@colorcrazy2944]

Really cute, and the paint making & book binding are interesting. I'd at least appreciate buying supplies even more!

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Stunning book! Love the layout, the illustrations are lovely and so many of them!! Really well designed book. And I love how she teaches to make watercolour as well as binding paper into a handmade sketchbook. Oh Theo you make my book shelf heavier! :)

[@georgejones8429]

[@randicommand2453]

Love, love, love Iraville. Thank you for the review! I got to see so much that I just can't afford right now.

[@liezelhaupt7172]

Lovely book. Thanks for the suggestion Teoh!

[@marymah8110]

those pictures are really relaxing...

[@Dan.B.Artist]

Ive also review this book and love it! I always feel very inspired after flicking through it. I found her tutorials quite help as I also make my own and it was also nice to see her painting process. It's easy to see how her paintings are so precise when you see the amount of prep work that she does. A tip for pronouncing her name Ira slowtahman van langahviydah , did my best spelling it out, i dont speak german but thats how it sounds to me when she pronounces it.

[@ilofc]

Thank you for this flipthrough Teoh! I've just purchased the book through your link!

[@teohyc]

[@ms.marvelous7019]

Teoh thanks for another book recommendation - another book I didn't know I needed! 💖🖌️🎨

[@higherground711]

Thanks for the book review Teoh. 👍 😀 I know some people who'd like this. I'll pass it on.

[@jackiehazlett7805]

I also find her work mesmerizing. I also love to watch Gal Shir work. Different style of art, video, but also mesmerizing

A library is a palace of adventure, intrigue, romance and danger while being completely safe. My 3 favorite art books: - Architecture: A Visual History by Jonathan Glancey - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@lulinasser]

Watercolor sketchbooks are very expensive in my country, and they usually are made with cellulose paper instead of cotton. I learned professional bookbinding techniques to make my own sketchbooks. They end up being much cheaper and have the type of paper I prefer.

[@DoodleyDoodah]

I follow her! I love her art so much!!

[@orkidbox]

Tempting me to get this book now. Lovely.

[@tychicusparegoria7276]

This artists work reminds me of the 'Big eyes' paintings by Margaret Keane from the 1960's.

[@kenlaksmi1173]

OMG THANK YOUUU THAT YOUR CHANNEL EXISTS!!!

[@erforscher]

I would like to live in such a cartoonish and artist made world some time 😊

[@alexssldi5752]

[@jeffong5955]

Wow! Amazing book!

[@KirejiArt]

Ur book reviews are the best

[@teohyc]

Thanks :-)

[@StephenMarkTurner]

Lovely style, quite recognizable. I have had a try at a couple of her works. It is not the same but it makes me think of coloured pencil artist 'Reina' a little bit.

[@benedictebayard856]

Thank you !

[@shanslam1970]

The way she draws the characters faces I've seen quite a few illustrators use this big eyed technique is a based on any particular genre of drawing ?

[@zhidong5780]

Niceeeeeee

[@pilargamito2862]

Me encanta la dulzura de estas ilustraciones., sus colores suaves y la belleza que transmiten . Ah, y los dibujos de la figura femenina con unos kilitos de más.

[@judial-abdah3210]

Hi

[@eirinikiki8886]

Making your own paint is considerably cheaper.

[@tychicusparegoria7276]

Respect, for dodging that name, Teoh lol. In a world of hi-tech and fast pace, I think its a great idea to make your own kit for art or other interests.

[@teohyc]

When I pronounce it wrongly, I always get many comments saying so. 🤣

[@j74s98]

I admire her sense of color, but her characters have a generic, "tumblr-style" quality that is, honestly, forgettable.

[@octobersunshine]

Thanks for sharing!
