The face is the most important feature of a doll—it is also the most challenging. So it is surprising that there is so little instruction available on creating doll faces. This book fills that void. Author Patti Medaris Culea began her career in art as a portrait painter and she puts that experience to work when creating her doll faces. In this book, she shows readers a simple technique for easily creating faces using her step-by-step approach. She gives her tips for how to divide the face into quadrants, graft features together, and much more. Every aspect of doll making is covered—from the basics to detailed techniques for making the various faces to instructions for putting a pattern together. Readers will learn how to use watercolor pencils, acrylics, and fabric paints, as well as learn techniques for using collage, stamping, and beading, and will find tips for working with stretchy fabrics to create indented eyes, separate eyelids, and sculpted lips. |

"In this book, you don't work from life exactly as it looks, but as you see and experience it. You are always developing your inner eye." --Cristina Acosta Many adults who decide to "study art" become too serious and frustrated, thinking they will never learn what it takes to be really good. Paint Happy! encourages readers to relax and enjoy their work by combining expressive painting techniques with their own unique style. This book couples fine art with elements of craft and decorative painting that will appeal to both a traditional audience and young artists seeking self-expression and fun. Cristina accomplishes this while keeping in mind the basic tools of composition and color. She also includes a number of creative and inspiring ideas geared toward decorative painters and greeting card artists. |

A practical and inspiring watercolour and pastel book on an ever-popular subject. Flowers and gardens provide irresistible subject matter to amateur artists. However inspiration from their own gardens or the wealth of parks and public gardens about the country is not always easy to translate on paper. As an accomplished painter who also has a passion for flowers and gardens, Alison Hoblyn brings readers a rare insight into the practicalities of painting with watercolour and pastel, plus the problems and pleasures to be encountered in capturing the essence of a garden scene. In addition to giving sound, practical advice, the book takes readers further by relating the observations made through painting gardens to an understanding of their design. It also shows how to bring the best out of individual blooms, and groups of flowers. |
