One-Sheet Art Book: Experimenting with Ink, Paint & Stencil Techniques

In this video, I experiment with a large sheet of Arches watercolor paper, painting an abstract piece using walnut ink, acrylic paints, and flower stencil work. I explore layering techniques, textures, and mark-making before transforming the finished painting into a folded art book. This process combines expressive painting with simple bookmaking, resulting in a unique handmade book from a single sheet of paper. If you enjoy this project, check out my full class, One-Paper Wonders, where we dive deeper into painting techniques and creative book folding methods.
