Description
Popular artist and teacher Soraya French encourages her students to broaden their horizons, and here she gives painters the tools they wish to experiment with exciting combinations of acrylics, pastels, and collage. The book is divided into the four seasons, and the specific colors, shapes, patterns, and textures associated with each and every one; it also explores interesting ways of painting flowers and other details of nature. French explains methods to create full of life compositions, depict architectural features inside the landscape, or even, in some instances, create a narrative. To hand tips, simple projects, and step by step demonstrations lend a hand artists hone their skills.
