Smart Art

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Quick Art, this book presents aspiring artists with a range of amazing yet deceptively simple projects to complete and enjoy. With the focus on using more eclectic materials, the book aims at inspiring the budding artist in you to new and greater levels of creativity.

With an in-depth analysis of both tools and materials, and excellent step-by-step photographic instructions, Smart Art shows aspiring artists of all skill levels that creating eye-catching, personalised artwork is fully within their grasp. The section on materials is broken down into useful tables that lay out the nature of each material, its pros and cons, and helpful tips regarding its usage. The book is also divided into two sections: one encompassing a range of projects for you to hone your skills on, and another bursting with ideas for you to try out.

Monique and Angie’s personalised tone throughout the book makes you feel as though you have your own instructor there with you as you attempt each project. Their love of art, and passion for sharing it with others, is fully present throughout the book, making it a must-have for those of you who are dying to get creative!
