If you’re looking for new ways to expand your horizons in nature painting, this exciting book will provide a wealth of instruction and inspiration.

Abstraction is not just about technique, but about observation and Waltraud will show you how to be enquiring and think about how you look at what’s around you.

Then, in a series of projects, she’ll show you how to get this down on canvas or paper. She exploits the flexibility of acrylics and their ability to behave in different ways, both as washes and in impasto.

Techniques include transferring found materials to create textures, the use of sprayed colours to soften backgrounds and edges, photo transfer, knife painting, mixed media and, of course, the watercolour technique.

Each project comes with straightforward instructions and is complete in itself, so you can pick and choose what interests you and move around the book at will.

Follow Waltraud’s helpful advice and you’ll find ways of seeing you’d never thought of before.
