Product Description
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.

 She Strikes Again August 31, 2009
M. Carling (Hartford, CT USA)
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
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.

This book, & Rolina van Vliet"s other publication, "Painting Abstracts", is loaded with information & exercises to spark new ideas & hone the artist's skills. Both books are written in a very down to earth, 'reader friendly' style, as if you were in the midst of a terrific workshop!
Excellent Introductory Guide February 1, 2010
Ann Bedingham (Oracle, AZ)
This book introduced me to the world of abstraction with the best articulation of the creative process. Great exercises to learn to express subject matter abstractly.
Helpful for this mid level painter June 7, 2010
K. Smith (Boulder, CO USA)
I found this book helpful, good ideas and doesn't waste a lot of time on all the same old introductory information. Certainly my favorite abstract idea generator book yet. The paintings have a depth and richness. Will certainly come back to this one as a resource and reference.
Great procedural manual August 31, 2010
Sue R. Wilson
Loved how van Vliet created wonderful lesson plans for
producing abstract images. Lots of detailed information
and colorful options to explore while learning about
composition.
