Mix and match to achieve countless variations, building layer upon layer to create unique and wonderfully complex abstract art.
* Learn more than 30 step-by-step techniques for developing texture and visual interest, including collage, monoprinting, carving, color blocking, paint skins, raised stencils, glazing and so much more.
* Chapters explore the phases of a multi-layered painting, from surface preparation through adding structure, developing complexity and adding finishing touches.
* Follow the development of two paintings as each layer adds to the finished result, with tons of additional artwork throughout.
