Bibliotekernes beskrivelse

Creative individuals are typically as passionate about food as they are making art. So while this is a mixed-media technique book, there are underlying analogies of cooking. A dinner-party setting has a guest list featuring contributing artists. The reader is introduced to five chapters, or 'courses': Colour, Layers, Texture, Flavour and Combinations. Each chapter features projects with stepped-out techniques pertaining to that chapter, as well as tabletalk (inspiring insights and constructive tips) from the guests, and sidebars (What's in Your Pantry) for ideas such as using found objects, painting over 'failed' works and stimulating your brain when you're out of ideas. Techniques for the projects show the reader how to do things like develop layers with stencils, create texture with items like a cheese grater or combine different substrates into one project.
