Mixed-media artists and daring crafters can take their projects to the next level using any of the forty-five techniques featured in “Canvas Remix.” Painting marries the hot aesthetic of graffiti to produce twenty-five projects that take canvas way beyond the stretcher bar. Strong color, bold lines and a touch of funkiness are evident as readers learn how to use paint, create amazing collage art and work with canvas. Techniques for working with canvas and various paints are briefly discussed before the reader takes their painted canvas to the next level with hand-carved stamps, image transfers and more. A step-by-step creation of various items such as a tote bag, placemats and canvas beads for jewelry are included in this hip, must-try-it book.
