Surface Treatment Workshop Explore 45 Mixed-Media Techniques

Similar to the authors' first best-selling book, Image Transfer Workshop, this book Surface Treatment Workshop provides you with an equally impressive amount of techniques and ideas for mixed-media surface treatments. In addition to over 45 stepped-out techniques, projects that combine the techniques into finished works of art are shown as well. Traditional techniques as well as new applications that have not been explored in other books such as the use of WonderUnder, pulled paper and plaster-dipped gauze are explored. Extensive examples from both artists show how the same techniques can be used to yield very different results, and troubleshooting will guide you into endless applications for your own artwork.
