Painting Abstract Nature on Canvas by Jane Betteridge

Painting Abstract Nature on Canvas by Jane Betteridge

This exciting new title from best-selling author and artist Jane Betteridge explores how to create stunning abstract watercolour and mixed media art on canvas. The book contains short practical projects along with a comprehensive techniques section, three step-by-step projects, and is dotted throughout with Jane's sumptuous and inspirational finished artworks. The book encourages an experimental, semi-abstract approach to painting the natural landscape, and helps artists to loosen up. Activities that promote creativity, such as art, are seen as great ways to combat the stresses of modern life, and Jane's latest book will do just that. She provides expert guidance and exciting ideas that will allow anyone, whether beginner or experienced artist, to create amazing semi-abstract artwork.

You might think, therefore, that it’s not really possible to write an instructional guide, but that hasn’t stopped quite a few authors from trying and Jane is among the bestWhile there are plenty of recognisable forms here, she has also moved towards almost pure abstraction where the essence of the subject has been put down, rather than its straightforward appearance. Jane in fact makes this point in her introduction, so we’re definitely on the same page.

[...] I can’t tell you a lot more than that this is what the book is. It’s nicely presented and reproduced and, if you’re a fan of Jane’s work or you want an intriguing look at abstraction, I think you’ll find your way here.
