Description

This book makes it easy to create and admire wonderful Japanese-style paintings and portraits!

Modern Japanese-style paintings are recognisable by their restrained use of three-dimensionality and perspective, reliance upon expressive lines, and the bold use of colour to direct the viewer's eye. There are other ways that artists imbue their work with Japanese- inspired attributes, including through the skilful use of shape, texture, and facial expression.

Author Shinichi Fukui introduces readers to 7 notable modern Japanese artists who specialize in shin hanga-style portraiture of Japanese women. He then presents instructions to create 21 different original paintings – from sketching models, preparing and mixing paints, blocking in colour, and rendering fine details.

Using these techniques, and a bit of acrylic paint, readers will be able to create eye-catching works of art that express a timeless Japanese aesthetic.
