Specifikacia Experimental Coasts in Mixed Media
A master class from a popular artist with stunning artwork of coasts from around the globe.Acclaimed mixed-media artist Mike Bernard has been at the forefront of collage painting for decades, and his work has a sought-after vitality. He brings his latest guidance, ideas, and techniques on a subject about which he is passionate: coastal painting. From his home near the Devon coast, he and coauthor (art writer) Susie Hodge cover all aspects of mixed-media painting: from considering composition and looking for contrasts to reducing elements for greater impact (and even moving towards abstraction); from working with limited palettes to including imaginary colors to a painting; from collaging with torn magazines, tin foil, plastic, and newsprint to combining inks, oil pastels, PVA, acrylic, and watercolors; from playing with proportion to create mood to using thick and thin oils
