I love decorative painting and paint on all kinds of different surfaces. A few of my favorite surfaces to paint on include: large seashells, mason jar lids, driftwood, stepping stones, ceramic and wooden holiday ornaments, mason jars, etc. Painting is a great way to express your creativity and to relax. It’s ME time that I always look forward to.
* Complimentary book received.
With Paint Every Little Thing, you can learn to paint your favorite everyday items using watercolor, gouache, ink, pastel, and more. Start by learning about the supplies you will need with the help of the tools and materials section; then peruse the painting and mixed-media techniques, which include layering, blending, glazing, and more. You’ll also learn how to mix colors.
Throughout the book, find beautiful, original artwork. The creative prompts will inspire you to create art of your own with more open-ended suggestions, while the step-by-step projects feature complete instructions for painting in professional artist Kristine Lombardi’s trademark loose, beautiful style.
Title: Paint Every Little Thing
Author: Kristine A. Lombardi
Publisher: Walter Foster & Quarto Knows
The creative prompts and step-by-step painting projects cover fun, appealing subjects including: Food, Kitchenware, Clothing, Travel, Outdoorsy Items, and Much More!
One thing that I found most helpful in the book was the section on brushes. The author gives you her list of “must-have” brushes: liner brush, round brushes, filbert, mop brush, and angled brush. There’s a picture of each one, so you can learn what you need and what they look like, as well as how they’re used in the painting projects.
Many of the designs in the book are suitable to paint on the surfaces that I enjoy painting. Some of the designs inside are: Shoes, Shaving Kit, Swimming Suits, Blazer, Scarves, Cosmetics, Botanical Plants, Herb Garden, Rain Boots, Watering Can, Birdhouse, Furniture, Home Decor, Foods, and Beverages. There’s a lot to choose from.
