Painting & Folding a One-Sheet Art Book – Fun and Easy Project

In this video, I show how to transform a single piece of watercolor paper into a handmade art book using simple painting and folding techniques. This project is a great way to explore creativity, experiment with mark-making, and make a unique sketchbook from just one sheet of paper. If you enjoy this process, check out my full class, One-Paper Wonders, where we dive deeper into painting techniques and creative bookmaking methods.
