Painting Abstracts: Ideas, Projects and Techniques

£9.99

wonderful - a very interesting book which offers a powerfull idea of the elements and principles of designing, with very good lessons and pictures - I recommand it to artists who want to progress and teachers who want a good tool for their job , I have read it and translated it in french for myself

A great inspiration - I pre-ordered this book, being new to painting abstracts, and have not been disappointed. The emphasis is on creativity, inspiration and individualism. Basic information on composition, colour, texture etc is brief and succinct, and the exercises cover all aspects of pure abstraction. These exercises are based on Ms Van Vliet s lessons and workshops, and enough information is given about each while encouraging the painter to be creative. The exercises are beautifully illustrated, a lot by works produced by Ms Van Vliet s students. I think this inspiring book could be well used not only by beginners but by more experienced artists branching out into abstract painting.
