More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The theme of this book is the bond between the artist and nature; when an artist responds to, understands, and is in tune with the elements, a harmony results that manifests itself in his or her art. By working in accord with nature and following its inexorable rhythms, one can achieve paintings that emulate its specific textures and forms. Through step-by-step instruction, Masterfield introduces such novel techniques as painting with sand, working with filaments and fibres, creating crystal forms, solar painting, layering and weaving, and reflection and symmetry. The final chapter considers creative ways of viewing nature. The book includes nature photographs, in-process illustrations, and finished art by Masterfield and a host of other artists.

Another brilliant book which is difficult to get hold of, but if you like throwing paint around and experimenting with all sorts of different types of paper, fabric and sprays you will love it.
Its not for the faint hearted or the beginner but it opens up barriers which artists can build against themselves and this book is an ideal place to blast those barriers down and free up.

A wonderful book for beginners through accomplished artists.
29 Aug 1999
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best books on the subject. Masterfield's work is inspiring. The photography of her (and other included artists) work is top notch. She generously shares her techniques and instructs gently and ably.
