About this title

Synopsis

Intended for enthusiastic beginners and practising artists alike, this book shows you everything you need to know about mixed media. Easy-to-follow projects instruct you in essentials, such as how the different type of materials work, and aim to inspire you to tackle more complex techniques, including scrubbing, using tools and create special effects. This book is one of a series of titles which range from acrylic figure to oil portrait and from pastel life to water-colour landscape. It offers close up step-by-step photographs which show paintings being created before your eyes and it lets you into the secrets of how professional artists produce their work.
