The Silk Painting Workshop: Painting, Marbling and Batik for Beginners
An excellent primer on many variants of silk painting,The Silk Painting Workshopprovides in-depth coverage of materials, techniques, color principles, and design sources. Beyond explaining the methods extremely well and supplying a beautiful and diverse selection of projects, author Jane Venables is skilled at expounding upon the nebulous doctrines of successful color combinations and good design. The typical painted silk piece displays flowers or abstracts; Venables also has a way with feathers, fish, birds, geometrics, and landscapes, and she helps us believe we can learn too. Her marvelous sense of design and glorious ability with color pervade every page, making even a quick glance through the pages an irresistible enticement to trying out this art form.--Amy Handy--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
