[@juliehickman2880]

I love Ana Victoria Calderon-I just got her new book to add to my collection.

[@iritlandgraf]

Yes! She has a fun colorful style!

[@dianaromig732]

Shirley Trevena books are truly amazing 🤩. Her color sense and choices are truly inspiring ❤

[@iritlandgraf]

totally agree!

[@wendyb4741]

Gorgeousness .... and thank you for not adding music ❤

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you like it!

[@Raven_starr8]

That was a dangerous amount of art books ❤😂🎉

[@iritlandgraf]

I know, right??

[@ednalama4244]

Hi Irit, Love your videos and your fun light approach 😊 I have seen flipthroughs of some of these, they are super inspiring! There is an urban sketcher whose sketching style is inspired by Shirley Trevena, his name is Paul Wang , he is from Singapore. Beautiful work. He teaches sketching on art retreats with "Anna's art and food culture" (?) Small group trips to Vietnam and Thailand ...

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for sharing!! Yes I've been following Paul for a long time, really love his style ! Ahhh that trip sounds amazing... It's been so long since I was in the far east...

Thank you Irit. Stephen Quiller’s book I own & it’s also my only color theory book💚 North Light has gone digital & has course from book artists-no more real books. The last 2 books, by Shirley look inspiring. I have learned from you to paint with colors that we love. Therein lies the chance that we will love the creation 🐾🐾🎨🌞

[@iritlandgraf]

Oh that's good to know! And I'm glad you're enjoying painting with your colors, so important!!

[@twozsinapod]

Soraya French has some beautiful books about acrylic and mixed media abstract painting. Love her use of color!

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for sharing! I'll check it out 😃

[@francoiseprieels3916]

Thanks Irit 🙏🏻 the first book of the video is on my birthday wish list now 😊 And Felix Scheinberger’s books are so inspiring! I started my watercolour journey with Jenna Rainey’s books and L’aquarelle by Bleu Tango. I really like Jillian Boon’s use of colours as well. She’s on KZbin but hasn’t published any books so far.

[@colorcapacity2779]

I love your suggestions! I can also recommend Painting Happiness by Terry Runyan and Paint Yourself Calm by Jean Haines.

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for sharing!

[@vebutler8957]

Have you ever used Tamara Laporte or Jane Davenport? I’d be interested in your take

[@iritlandgraf]

Hi! I think both are amazing artists but personally it's not my vibe but many find them inspiring

[@heartyinspirations]

Amazing video as always! Will need to top up my books account 😊

[@iritlandgraf]

Yay, thank you!

[@megperry5586]

Love these suggestions! Thank you

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you like them!

[@sabinemetscher6449]

Oh yes, the Japanese children’s book that’s really what I have turned to, illustrated kids books 💕

[@iritlandgraf]

right?? so pretty!

[@BlissfulCrafter]

Oh Irit, this is very helpful. The flip throughs help a lot. Thank you! I have a request, can you go tthrough your pallet and tell us what colors and brands you use?

[@iritlandgraf]

Hi! I have two relatively recent videos with what's in my watercolor & Gouache palette but I think it's time for a video about all the colors in all the media! Mega color rush ;) gouache- kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWYmZiEjt5np6c watercolor- kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJWTdHSPmbyLjs0

[@susansacco7583]

Thanks so much Irit! I’ve put off getting the Steven Q. book. Thank you for flipping through it. It’s amazing! You made me take out all my books. Thank you. Love the art, mixes, colors, mindset of your book, Irit! I’m painting page 37 for second time. More loose😅 I did this in gouache in TR fat sketchbook! Yeah! Your colors are gorgeous! One of my first art books was Wild Surrender by Mindy Lacefield. She’s been using fluorescent pink for a long time! I love her rawness and soul. Know you love her too. 💕 Love all your favorites. Namaste 🙏

[@iritlandgraf]

Yes! I have one of her books and love her artwork and courses, so fun!

[@maureencepiel959]

Great book choices! I also have (and love) Color, A Natural History of the Palette by Victoria Finlay. And Color in and out of the Garden by Lorene Edward's Forkner.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@DanielleHigginbottomBrown]

great video. I have several that you showed, and I have some other books I love .... Creative Wanderlust by Kasia Avery, Expressive Flower Painting by Lynn Whipple, Bold Expressive Painting by Annie O'Brien Gonzales although I was disappointed by the quality of the paper., Fresh Paint by Flora Bowley / Lynzee Lynx, Mixed Media Color Studio by Kellee Wynne Conrad. Thanks for the inspiration Irit

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for sharing!! I have Kellee's book as an Ebook and frankly when it comes to art books I want them all in my hands! 😀 I'll definitely check out your other recommendations ❤️

[@janine4143]

My newest Artbook is "Mixed Media" by Eva Kalien. Love her style, color sense and the way, she creates textures❤

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for commenting! I'll check it out 😃

[@Perasperaadastra-m6h]

Thank you for the great video. Love the japanese one.

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lauraf.8203]

Really love this inspiring video.

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@spktme]

Loved this video! Does anyone happen to know the title and author for the kid's book she shows? I loved the beautiful texture and colors in it! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you enjoyed! Yes, would be great to know!

[@kirstyh1189]

Either books or art supplies will make me broke😢…. Omg! Thanks for the eye candies ….

[@iritlandgraf]

You're welcome? You can watch the video for inspiration instead of buying ;)

[@maggiemae6867]

Lovely!! I have some of these. I'm curious if you have any of the uppercase encyclopedia books? I really believe those have some great art work. I have so so many books and I love to see new ones.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you! No, I'm not familiar with those... Which one would you recommend?

[@Calme1918]

Beautiful books. I have Shirley Trevino Watercolors book also. I narrow it down and do a small portion of are art. Love her books. Yes love recommendations. I love Ann Blockley books also.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for sharing! Ann Blockley's books are great indeed!

[@BlissfulCrafter]

Oh you just did@ IU am so embarassed, but you didn't name them. I need to balance my pallete with more light colors, it seems I have more dark.

[@ChantelleArts]

Please stop showing us art books, I cant afford any more 🤣🤣🤣

[@iritlandgraf]

I'm sorry!!

[@jeanettegillings7202]

😂.

[@jeanettegillings7202]

@@iritlandgrafdon’t be! I find a lot of value in watching book reviews. Sometimes I’ve had a book on my “Wishlist” and after seeing same book on KZbin it’s changed my mind. It works both ways and I’m grateful for it ❤

[@iritlandgraf]

I know, same for me except both ways is more often one way ;)
