Paperclay is an extremely versatile material for the contemporary
potter. Now firmly established in the ceramics world, this mix of
clay and paper fibers is remarkably flexible, strong, and easy to
repair. This highly workable medium allows expressive freedom and
imagination at every stage in the creative process, even after
drying and firing. In Paperclay, artists will discover the world of
possibilities offered by this blend of earth, paper, and water.
Building on the success of her previous books, artist and teacher
Rosette Gault explains how potters and clay sculptors can make,
fire, and reshape paperclay. This comprehensive guide covers a
range of methods from dry modeling to slurry state. Going beyond
the basics, the book introduces advanced techniques for building
armatures, sculpting figures, and forming wall hangings. It also
includes information on recycled and sustainable ingredients.
Paperclay features all-new color photographs and diagrams of
techniques and tools, as well as inspiring works by today's leading
international ceramicists. Packed with photographs and clear
instructions, Gault's book is an essential introduction to
paperclay for ceramics artists and educators.
Textile Landscapes demonstrates how to develop your approach to
textile art with a focus on using found objects and paint and
stitch on cloth and paper. Cas explains how to exploit the contrast
between the hands-on textural quality of working with fabrics and
threads and the spontaneity and movement of brush marks to lend a
painterly quality to your work. She begins with the basics -
keeping a sketchbook to generate ideas, painting and stitching on
cloth and on paper and working digitally; Inspiring Landscapes
looks at natural and urban space, the changing seasons and great
landscapes as well as intimate spaces and travel diaries; Painting
and Marking with Cloth explains the practical aspects of painting
and dyeing cloth and how to make connections between paint, print,
dye, stencil and stitch; Stitch-scapes looks at the different forms
of landscape, experimenting with photographs and prints and how to
translate those images using ink, stitch, abstract and collage
techniques and then at how to transform the image using digital
techniques; On Closer Inspection covers using elements and details
from landscape and the environment as found objects and for
research; finally People and Place explores the relationship we
have with the outdoors and the built environment, as well as
personal interpretations of place. The book includes artworks by
the author that explore the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, as well
as works by other internationally renowned textile artists. A
creative guide ideal for textile artists of all levels - students,
teachers and practising artists and makers - to make unique and
beautiful work inspired by the world around us.
Two superstars of anime and manga open their studio doors and spill
their secrets in this private master class. Join Hisashi Kagawa, an
animation director for Sailor Moon, and Yoshihiko Umakoshi, a
character developer for My Hero Academia, as they show you how to
bring your battle heroines boldly to life. Helpful sidebars and
tips appear in dialogue bubbles throughout this book, as the
artists guide aspiring illustrators from initial idea to finished
artworks, pointing out common missteps and pitfalls that can easily
frustrate beginning artists along the way. The essential techniques
and design elements needed to create engaging female-led battle
scenes are first reviewed in detail. Then each author walks the
reader through their entire creative process of developing an
original story from beginning to end. Along the way the authors
give you hundreds of helpful tips on how to create compelling
characters and render realistic expressions and poses, showing you
how practiced professionals work. Starting from a storyboard
sequence of simple sketches you'll progress to a polished finished
drawing. By learning from two artists with different styles at the
same time, readers get twice the advice and emerge doubly prepared
to create scenes, stories and battle heroines of their own.
