Arteffects

by Jean Drysdale Green

Description

ArtEffects is divided into five sections that cover the most-used painting mediums: inks, watercolour, acrylics, oils, and pastels. Each section begins with a general discussion of the specific medium's unique properties, physical makeup, and methods of application, followed by a list of various materials that can be used in combination with the medium. Then comes a dazzling display of examples (some with step-by-step demonstration) of the almost limitless textures and effects you can show more achieve by combining one medium with another, or with the myriad papers and art-related products on the market today, as well as with household and other unexpected materials such as cornstarch, string, and plastic wrap. Here, you can easily find out how a specific medium will perform in combination with, for example, sand, gold gouache, or acrylic modeling paste, and how that medium can be used in airbrush, stenciling, and monoprinting techniques. show less

Some excellent techniques/ideas - I'm doing a technique book so I'll have an example of each of the methods described.

Yah, well, they look easier in the book than they are in Real Life. So far... well, let's just say I don't have a techniques book yet.

The book has lots of great ideas and it gave me lots of motivation... too bad my skill level wasn't compatible!
