Contemporary Landscapes in Mixed Media
by
Soraya French
Popular artist and teacher, Soraya French, encourages readers to experiment with mixing media to create more adventurous paintings and broaden their artistic horizons. The media Soraya uses in this book are acrylics, pastels and collage and she shows how to bring the best out of mixing these media with handy tips, some simple projects and several step-by-step demonstrations. Landscape, and the way it changes over the seasons, is the ideal subject for experimenting with different textural effects using mixed media. Contemporary Landscapes in Mixed Media is divided into four seasonal chapters, with each section dealing with the colours, shapes, patterns and textures particular to each season. There is information on mixing colours relevant to each season, as well as interesting ways of painting flowers and other details of nature, how to create exciting compositions and how to add architectural aspects within the landscape.
