Where do you find inspiration for an abstract painting? How do you
start? What materials should you use? Are composition and
perspective important? These questions and others are answered in
detail in this impressive book, with a clarity that guarantees
success. Whether you want to purely abstract your ideas, thoughts
and feelings into colour and mood, or whether you want to base your
pictures on subjects that interest you, such as landscapes,
flowers, or music, you will find much to guide and fascinate you
here. Rolina van Vliet is an enthusiastic teacher, and she offers a
brilliant insight into what makes good paintings, with 50 stunning
projects, each accompanied by expert tips and a full palette of
exciting and fun techniques. With help on what materials to use and
how to use them, she includes many photographs illustrating
different ways to create smooth, textured, collaged, vibrant,
powerful and atmospheric abstract art. Beginners will love the way
Rolina encourages experimentation - there are no rules, and more
experienced artists will find much here to inspire them.
Clear, challenging and inspiring, this book contains instructions
for 65 abstract paintings that you can get to work on straight
away, with no previous experience. All the basic information
relating to picture elements, composition, theme and design is
provided at the start of the book, together with an exploration of
the meaning of abstract painting, and its importance as a means of
self-expression and creativity. Rather than providing step-by-step
instructions, each of the exercises consists of information on
method, materials, technique, composition, imagery and structure
which will direct you to the finished piece while at the same time
allowing your creativity to flow.
