I think this book is amazing for painters. It goes through the very basics of making paint, stains, crayons, and other art supplies. It gives ideas for crafts using these homemade art supplies. And then it shows specific items that can be used for dyes, along with what they would look like mixed with various mordants (who knew you could get red, pink, yellow, and brown from beet roots depending on what you mix it with?).
Overall, I think this is a great book for any painter to own.
