Painting marries the hot aesthetic of graffiti to produce twenty-five projects that take canvas way beyond the stretcher bar. Strong color, bold lines and a touch of funkiness are evident as readers learn how to use paint, create amazing collage art and work with canvas. Techniques for working with canvas and various paints are briefly discussed before the reader takes their painted canvas to the next level with hand-carved stamps, image transfers and more. A step-by-step creation of various items such as a tote bag, placemats, and canvas beads for jewelry are included in this hip, must-try-it book Average Rating:

Alisa is an inspiring artist with a positive attitude, a breath of fresh air. Rating:  - Greatly DisappointedI've read several of Ms Burke's magazine articles and always found them greatly missing in details. I purchased this book thinking that here I'd find more detail and finishing techniques. Wrong. The projects highlighted in this book are also high level and give you just enough information to get yourself into trouble if you don't already have the experience to figure the rest out yourself. The 1st half of the book is in paint techniques. And although there are a good variety ...

Although I will hang onto a book if it is the slightest bit inspirational, I could not find any in this book and decided to return it. |
