The astoundingly vibrant three-dimensional paper artworks in this
book will stop paper art fans of all levels in their tracks. After
the initial amazement, enjoy trying this method yourself, expanding
your skills at your own pace with highly regarded artist Yulia
Brodskaya's guidance. Using two simple materials-paper and
glue-she's perfected the placement of carefully cut and bent strips
of paper to "paint" images. Brodskaya offers not a predictable
project book, but instead practical tips on how to work with her
method in various ways of your own. See how this method gives new
impact to lettering, nature themes, portraits, larger pieces, and
experiments. Learn how to choose colors, the importance of testing
compositions, which part of the image to start with, and when to
consider it complete. Inspiring for its artworks alone, this is
also a colorful starting point for anyone interested in working
with paper, and full of practical ideas for artists who want to
advance their creative thinking.
