The Art of Abstract Painting: A Guide to Creativity and Free Expression

The Art of Abstract Painting: A Guide to Creativity and Free Expression

 Filled with inspired instruction, this detailed guide shows how to compose dramatic, beautiful, thought-provoking, and evocative abstract paintings. Providing background information about the artistic style, the procedures and aims of the abstract method are explored in depth. This manual also teaches where to find inspiration, how to develop ideas, the way to create lively effects, and how to apply a range of techniques on different surfaces, whether it be transparent watercolor or thickly applied acrylics. While focusing on the goal of developing the creativity and self-expression inherent in each individual, the approach is unique in that there are no step-by-step instructions.

If you like her last book, you'll like this one, too. It's pretty much the same material. And like the last one, I think this one's also handy to have around to dip into when times are dull. It's full of projects, so it's good for getting the juices flowing. Definitely belongs on an ideas shelf.

What should I know about customer service jobs?

This holiday season, more and more companies will be looking for people to fill their open customer service jobs. Getting a seasonal job in customer service will not only put some extra money in your pocket but can also be a great start to a new career. So what do you need to know before applying for a seasonal job?

1. You'll be working a lot - A seasonal job in customer service usually comes with some extended hours attached. During the holidays, many stores and call centers stay open later than usual. You may have to work early, late or anywhere in between, so be prepared.

2. You may be doing a lot of things - Depending on where you work, you may be asked to answer phones, help customers with their shopping, process returns, or all of the above.

3. You'll need to be patient - People can get a little stressed out during the holiday season and may, on occasion, take it out on you. Customer service jobs are best suited for people who can handle a busy workplace, a bit of pressure and the occasional frantic shopper.
