"In this book, you don't work from life exactly as it looks, but as you see and experience it. You are always developing your inner eye." --Cristina Acosta Many adults who decide to "study art" become too serious and frustrated, thinking they will never learn what it takes to be really good. Paint Happy! encourages readers to relax and enjoy their work by combining expressive painting techniques with their own unique style. This book couples fine art with elements of craft and decorative painting that will appeal to both a traditional audience and young artists seeking self-expression and fun. Cristina accomplishes this while keeping in mind the basic tools of composition and color. She also includes a number of creative and inspiring ideas geared toward decorative painters and greeting card artists., ISBN13: 9781581801187 ISBN10: 1581801181 Material Type: paperback
