Artful Ways With Mixed Media

A book that combines texture, line and colour in unique form by way of collage, altered art and montage. Artful ways with mixed media makes this popular form of expression accessible and appealing to all. Stunning layered projects using a myriad of techniques will get your creative juices flowing and inspire you to experiment. Lavishly illustrated both to please and to teach, this book is a great source of design ideas and will boost creative confidence - a perfect companion for your artistic endeavours, even if you feel you can't draw. Note from the authors: While our other books encompass various forms of mixed media, we are delighted to share our distinctive take on altered image art, personal journals, cards and maps and a multitude of other special projects. There is an accent on the use of paper, ranging from newspaper and printed photos to copies of vintage advertisements and wallpaper. A host of techniques includes everything from collage to transfers, decoupage and encaustic. Drawing and painting on found images, stitching, stamping and stencilling fuse, forming rich textured images. No matter your craft, we encourage you to mix media to new art.
