Painting abstracts by Rolina van Vilet

Clear, challenging and inspiring, this book contains instructions for 65 abstract paintings that you can get to work on straight away. All the basic information relating to picture elements, composition, theme and design is provided at the start of the book, together with an exploration of the meaning of abstract painting, and its importance as a means of self-expression and creativity. Rather than providing step-by-step instructions, each of the exercises consists of information on method, materials, technique, composition, imagery and structure which will direct you to the finished piece while at the same time allowing your creativity to flow.
