How to Paint with Natural Earths & Sands, by Hess, La Rena. Naturegaph Publishers: Healdsburg, California, 1968. Edition: None stated. Hardcover, 5.25 by 8.5, 46 pages. Rebound in red buckram cloth with original trade paperback pictorial cover pasted on. Illustrated with one page of color photographs and several black and white line drawings. Includes a brief index.

Condition: Good. This is an EX LIBRARY copy, with the usual card pockets, stamps and markings. It was rebound as a hardcover from the original trade paperback, and so it is much sturdier than the original. There are smudge marks in the margin of pages ii and 2, and the cover is scuffed. Otherwise, a good readable copy.

Contents: A slim volume on an unusual subject. The author is an artist who uses earths and sands in several ways to produce various art pieces. These include art pictures in flat glass bottles and using earths and sands in painting. She shares her thoughts on getting inspiration from nature, her early experiments, her tools, and her various projects. This is not a child's book, but is written at the adult level.
