Description

A great guide for painters who want to experiment with mixed media and make their landscape paintings more adventurous.

Popular artist and teacher, Soraya French, encourages readers to experiment with mixing media to create more adventurous paintings and broaden their artistic horizons.

The media that Soraya uses in this book are acrylics, pastels, and collage. She shows how to bring out the best when mixing these media with handy tips, some simple projects, and several step-by-step demonstrations.

The landscape, and the way it changes over the seasons, is the ideal subject for experimenting with different textural effects using mixed media. Contemporary Landscapes in Mixed Media is divided into four seasonal chapters, with each section dealing with the colours, shapes, patterns, and textures particular to each season.

There is information on mixing colours relevant to each season, as well as interesting ways of painting flowers and other details of nature. Learn how to create exciting compositions and how to add architectural aspects within the landscape. In some landscapes, figures may be added to animate the composition and create a narrative.

This practical and inspirational book will help and encourage readers to explore the fascinating potential of mixed media and to adopt a freer attitude in their painting.
