Synopsis
This book introduces the concept of realistic abstract painting - a loosely impressionistic form of painting that leaves much to the imagination of the viewer. The subject, though recognisable, is executed with freedom and fluidity, resulting in a painting that is far from photographic. It has been described as the 'grey' area between figurative and abstract painting, yet there is nothing dull about this style, as the numerous colourful examples in this book show.
Aimed at those with some experience of painting, all the examples in this book use various forms of water-based media, including gouache, acrylics and watercolours. Designed to inspire, this book will stimulate your imagination; encourage you to try out the various methods described; and help you develop your own way of painting in this exciting style.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book introduces the concept of realistic abstract painting - a loosely impressionistic form of painting that leaves much to the imagination of the viewer. The subject, though recognisable, is executed with freedom and fluidity, resulting in a painting that is far from photographic. It has been described as the 'grey' area between figurative and abstract painting, yet there is nothing dull about this style, as the numerous colourful examples in this book show.

Designed to inspire, this book will stimulate your imagination; encourage you to try out the various methods described; and help you develop your own way of painting in this exciting style. Showing that, contrary to popular belief, abstract painting does possess rules, this guide lays the groundwork of well-defined techniques that keep abstract artworks within the confines of clear expression. Helping artists evolve from the formal structures of representational painting—such as cityscapes, still life, and portraiture—toward a more adventurous notion of representation, this resource combines step-by-step techniques with a gallery of finished pieces to offer aspiring artists equal parts instruction and inspiration. Emphasizing color above all else, this manual explores the application of textures, using both opposing color shades as well as opposing color temperatures, for an amazing array of shapes that refer back to the original inspiration.
