Summer Issue 2016Search Press have provided this interesting book by a well known watercolour artist. Lots of mediums are used to create exciting textures. By introducing stamps, stencils, plastics, bubble wrap etc, around or over a defined area of painting a relaxed, abstract look can be achieved. There are so many suggestions for experimentation, substituting dyes or paints for the watercolours and acrylics and cold wax for masking fluid, making for a satisfying silk painting.
