Abstracts
By:Laura Reiter
Published on 2008 by Collins Publishers

Many leisure painters are interested in painting simple abstracts but are not sure quite how to approach this challenging way of working. In this book Laura Reiter provides a clear and accessible introduction to this contemporary style of painting, explaining in simple, straightforward terms what abstract art is and how various techniques can be used to paint popular subjects in a less representational way. Early sections look at mark-making techniques, aspects of design and composition, and methods for creating texture and using collage. Laura then explains several simple ways of approaching an abstract painting, using watercolour, acrylics, pastels and collage to create abstracts from simple doodles, and manipulate shape and form. Practical exercises, useful tips and several step-by-step demonstrations are included and the book is illustrated with Laura's very colourful and exciting abstract paintings. The perfect text for those who desire an entrance into abstract or want to broaden their artistic horizons.
