Stunning Crystal and Glass Book with Joyce Faulknor

"You will never look at glass, cut crystal or reflective surfaces the same way again!"

All artists are keen observers, and in this book, Joyce shares her secrets for sharpening your senses and transforming your observations into striking images - creating paintings that truly capture the magic of light's interaction with glass.

It's all in how you see the subject. Through 11 short exercises, Joyce shows you how to begin painting the shapes and values, working from dark to light - building luminosity, one layer at a time and capturing the textures of light and glass with a new resonance and realism!

Learn how to paint reflections, refractions and distortions such as the glossy texture of ice, the shining facets of cut crystal, the radiant hues of coloured glass and the flattened sheen of reflective surfaces.

Why not check out the fantastic DVD that allows you to follow Joyce's techniques in detail as she paints cut crystal and coloured glass. A perfect accompaniment to the book!

Her bright, enthusiastic approach makes her an excellent teacher - and brings this subject to life for you to follow in easy stages.
