Description
This fantastic book bundle from noted artist, Waltraud Nawratil, shows you everything you need to know about Acrylics.
Abstract Acrylics Book with Waltraud Nawratil
If you’re looking for new ways to expand your horizons in nature painting, this exciting book will provide a wealth of instruction and inspiration.
Abstraction is not just about technique, but about observation and Waltraud will show you how to be enquiring and think about how you look at what’s around you.
Then, in a series of projects, she’ll show you how to get this down on canvas or paper. She exploits the flexibility of acrylics and their ability to behave in different ways, both as washes and in impasto.
Techniques include transferring found materials to create textures, the use of sprayed colours to soften backgrounds and edges, photo transfer, knife painting, mixed media and, of course, the watercolour technique.
Each project comes with straightforward instructions and is complete in itself, so you can pick and choose what interests you and move around the book at will.
Follow Waltraud’s helpful advice and you’ll find ways of seeing you’d never thought of before.
Abstract Nature Book with Waltraud Nawratil
If the idea of abstraction makes you feel nervous, think again.
This straightforward and easy-to-follow guide starts by keeping one foot firmly rooted in reality - you'll never be in doubt about what you're looking at. The trick is to stretch the boundaries and create images that are as much about shapes and colours as they are about representation.
Abstraction is a way of telling the viewer what you thought about a subject rather than simply reproducing it and leaving it up to them. Were those flowers especially bright, or those branches particularly torn by the wind? Distort the detail and you can say that, as well as emphasise the aspects that specifically caught your eye.
A lot of books on abstraction go into the philosophy of the style and that's all very well, but you need the practical side as well and that's where this guide comes in. Each of the 22 projects occupies just a single spread and includes materials lists, breakout details and simple instructions that are easy to follow and reproduce.
Get the hang of the basics and you'll be working on your own and with confidence before you know it.
