The Innovative Artist: Art of Pyrography – Drawing with Fire

Offert en anglais seulement

Cherry Ferris throws open the world of wood burning with a new art-led approach and shows you how to use different media and materials to set off your pyrographic artwork.

Packed with encouraging, practical and insightful advice on pursuing your own artistic path, this book covers everything you need to draw with fire – whether you are an experienced pyrographer or want to expand your horizons with a new medium.

The book contains a brief overview and history of the subject, information on tools and equipment, and an introduction to the basic techniques and surfaces that you can safely burn. It explains how to transfer designs onto surfaces and incorporate a mixed media approach by looking at shading techniques, how to introduce color into your work, and how to protect your finished pieces.

Learn about incorporating colored pencils (for bright rainbow shades), watercolor (for its luminous transparency) and oils (for their buttery, blendable consistency and jewel-like colors), using resin to finish your work for a beautiful glass-like finish, and using gold leaf to add a touch of magic.
