Ever since the pioneering collages of Picasso and Braque, mixed-media
works have held a respected place in fine art painting. Now
award-winning painter Mike Bernard offers artists a hands-on
introduction to the boundless possibilities opened up by combining paint
with abstract paper shapes, textured papers, newspaper clippings,
fabrics, and other unusual materials. With step-by-step photographs of
several works in the making, he takes the reader inside the creative
process, from preliminary sketches to final results, with detailed
explanations of every technique he uses. Includes a beautiful gallery of
the author's works.
