Description
Learn to create realistic landscape pyrography burnings with this comprehensive guide. Nationally recognized artist and pyrographer Lora S. Irish reveals her easy-to-learn methods for working in layers to obtain stunning results.
You'll learn how to use contrasting tonal values to create dramatic depth in any landscape, scenery, or wildlife wood burning. Lora shows beginning pyrographers how to develop the burning process by laying one layer over another to slowly bring each area up to its final tonal value.
By working a design in low or medium temperatures and adding successive layers, you can obtain total control over your final scene. Lora includes expert advice on basic tools, supplies, and techniques, along with 12 artistic skill-building projects that provide step-by-step practice in using temperature, time, layering, and texturing.
