| Reviews | Brusho is a highly pigmented watercolour ink powder that is renowned for its versatility and for the exciting results it produces with just a spritz of water added. Joanne Boon Thomas is an experienced artist and tutor and shares a range of techniques that demonstrate how many effects can be achieved using this exciting medium. Short demonstrations introduce you to the basics, such as when to use a flat wash, how to use wax resist, bleach and black Brusho, followed by 10 step-by-step projects that will inspire you to have a go yourself. The medium encourages you to be spontaneous, and to revel in the loose, bold style that results from it. * Leisure Painter, November 2023 * The subtitle invites you to "create vibrant and expressive paintings" and it means it. …The technical introduction is quite long and definitely worth giving your full attention. The remaining two-thirds of the book are devoted to a series of projects that demonstrate the kind of results you can expect to produce and this is where the vibrancy and expression really come in. If Brusho interests, maybe fascinates you, this is a worthwhile guide. — Henry Malt * artbookreview.net * |
