Artists’ Techniques and Materials

Description

In Artists’ Techniques and Materials, Antonella Fuga goes behind the scenes of different works of art to showcase how the artists created their pieces, small or large. Artistic techniques, processes, and even formulas have been discovered over time through endless trials or, if fortunate enough, through lucky “mistakes” before they are mastered. This guide illustrates fundamental artistic techniques together with the origin and use of the most popular materials employed in drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture, applied arts, and contemporary art. Fuga provides a unique approach for reading works of art by explaining how they were made and revealing hidden aspects to their creation.
