Description
This guide provides readers with all the tested tools and techniques they need to create dynamic, original compositions of their own. It begins with a review of all the basics: materials and supplies, colour theory and mixing, and design and composition. Then, it goes one step further, providing an array of exercises and activities designed to inspire creative expression and prompt new artists to think "out of the box." It presents over 50 all-new fruit, vegetable, and flower designs, all supported by full-colour reference photographs to add greater understanding of the subject. In addition, ready-to-use worksheets present detailed breakdowns of each motif, along with full-size shaded patterns to make getting started easy.
