She explores the wild areas, encountering rare and commonplace species alike. Sketchbook and camera in hand, she studies birds in their natural habitats. Whether a woodpecker perched on a tree looking for its next meal or a tiny hummingbird caught in a moment of stillness, the birds portrayed by Hashimoto reflect her profound relationship with nature.\r \r In this coloring book you'll find twenty-two unpainted block prints. Hashimoto's finished versions are reproduced on the inside front and back covers of this book. She creates rich, lush hues by hand-tinting with watercolor. You may choose to follow her natural color schemes, or create an alternate world of abstract colors. The last page of the book is blank so you can create a bird picture of your own, perhaps drawing a species you admire that lives near your home.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49772390809873,"sku":"GOR013010824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50146267889937,"sku":"CIN0764979388A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50762890871057,"sku":"CIN0764979388VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416234295569,"sku":"CIN0764979388G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0764979388.jpg?v=1751329124"},{"product_id":"colors-of-the-west-book-molly-hashimoto-9781680510973","title":"Colors of the West","description":"Putting a brush in the hands of new artists, young and old, heightens their awareness of the power and beauty of nature. - Molly Hashimoto Learn to observe, sketch, and paint nature from an award-winning outdoor artist and art teacher - Explains how to see color depending on time of day, season, atmosphere, and more - More than 170 illustrations, featuring iconic national parks - Improve your nature painting skills or learn a fun new hobby you can do outdoors Colors of the West explores wild places through the lens of watercolor en plein air painting, a French term meaning literally in the open air. Steeped in the natural world, award-winning artist Molly Hashimoto has sketched in the outdoors and worked as a plein air artist and teacher for more than 20 years. In that time she has filled more than 40 sketchbooks with landscapes, vignettes, studies of flora and fauna, and natural history notes--all created while visiting some of the West's most stunning landscapes. This new book is organized by color, a unique approach to teaching both intermediate and budding artists how to really see color in the outdoor spaces around them, and then apply it to journals, other art projects, or simply beautiful memories. The average person can see 17,000 colors ( ), so Molly explains the concept of palette, that is the range of colors that unites elements of geography, geology, and the different kinds of light created by atmosphere, season, and latitude. Molly's own hand‐drawn sketches and paintings of familiar Western landscapes help convey these colors, along with sidebars and insets on individual species (trees, birds, mammals, and other flora and fauna) and historical notes related to the park or site she has sketched. Tips and techniques for outdoor journaling and painting are included throughout. From the green hues found on Cascade Head on the Oregon Coast and in Yellowstone's quaking aspens, to the reds that highlight the rocks in Arches National Park and the Redwoods of California, readers and artists of all levels will learn a new appreciation for the colors of the West--and how the details of natural beauty can be revealed when we stop, observe, and pay attention to the outdoor world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49778871435537,"sku":"CIN1680510975G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51045498519825,"sku":"NIN9781680510973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1680510975.jpg?v=1751410329"},{"product_id":"birds-of-the-west-book-molly-hashimoto-9781680511505","title":"Birds of the West","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnique gift book celebrates more than 80 iconic Western birds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthor is an award-winning nature artist and art teacher\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores habitats: suburban backyards, alpine heights, shorelines, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Birds accompany us in our daily lives with their songs, flashes of bright color, and energetic activity.
