Hierdie boek neem jou verby die tradisionele voorkoms van ligte,
sagte en bykans deurskynende waterverfwerk. Leer hoe om ryk,
lewendige beelde te skep nie net met waterverf op papier nie, maar
ook met ander mediums en materiaal. Jy behou die waterige gevoel,
maar versterk en verbreed die moontlike tekstureringseffek. Die
projekte toon hoe verskeie watermediums op bekende dog
onkonvensionele maniere gebruik kan word. Verf, ink, kleurpotlode
en lapkleursel vorm die kleurkomponent, terwyl tekstuurmediums deel
van die repertoire uitmaak. Heelwat projekte is op waterverfpapier,
maar skilderdoek, karton en velyn of natrekpapier kom ook voor.
Daar is baie eenvoudige gestruktureerde tegnieke wat stap-vir-stap
gevolg kan word om 'n baie soortgelyke voorkoms te skep vir
handwerkprojekte. Maar lesers word ook aangemoedig om met meer
spontane en minder gekontroleerde tegnieke (ook stapsgewys
geillustreer) hulle eie skeppende weg te volg en avontuurlustig te
wees, risiko's te loop en met hulle gelukkige 'ongelukke' te werk.
Minder suksesvolle werk kan op baie verskillende maniere ingespan
word en die boek bevat idees oor hoe sulke werk met nuwe kunswerk
geinkorporeer kan word. Water-(verf-)kuns is propvol wonderlike
idees vir kunstenaars en handwerkers en selfs groentjies sal wil
saamspeel en eksperimenteer.
An explanatory introduction on materials and tools, types of glass
and safety, is followed by step-by-step techniques and tips for
tracing, cutting, grinding, foiling, assembly, soldering, tinning
and the application of patina. The wide range of projects includes
lampshades, candleholders, mobiles, frames, wall clocks, mirrors
and much more, in both traditional and contemporary styles. The
initial projects are illustrated with detailed step-by-step
photographs to lay the groundwork for further items where specific
details are highlighted. From simple to more challenging, all the
items included beautifully showcase the splendid range of glass
available nowadays. Good use is also made of additions in the form
of beads and glass mosaicing. With excellent colour photographs of
all finished items, technical tips throughout, gallery shots with
extended captions for additional inspiration, and templates for the
projects, this book will be an asset on any crafters shelf.
Get up close to the beauty and detail of nature through the artwork
of award-winning UK artist, Julia Trickey. See how ordinary and
sometimes overlooked subjects, such as leaves and fading flowers,
can be centre stage and come to life in this beautiful showcase of
some of Julia's best-loved botanical watercolours. Having been a
tutor of botanical art for many years, teaching as far afield as
Moscow and New York, Julia loves to help others explore the
potential of watercolour and to discover the keys to a good
botanical portrait. In this book she shares some of these insights
as well as the motivation behind her favourite projects, together
with some of the processes and watercolour techniques involved.
Take inspiration from these glowing, contemporary watercolours in a
book that is both beautiful and useful.
