The Boy Who Paints





The Boy Who Paints by K. Jane Watt, illustrated by Richard Cole 

Youtube video of someone reading the book

This is a great book about art and how a little boy discovers colour. It explores how colour can be mixed and used to paint landscapes. The illustrations are interesting in that the artist has used some photos of his own paintings in the book as well as the use of collage and printed word in showing the silhouette of the boy.

They have also made a similar book "The Girl Who Writes" with the same illustration style.
