Summary

Blue is a short course in unlocking your creative self - perfect for budding artists of all ages who are keen to try out different artistic techniques and materials, and begin their artistic journey.

Description

Many people crave a creative outlet, but more often than not, don't know where to start. In Blue, Valentina Zucchi and Viola Niccolai invite you to nurture your creativity and build your confidence by taking inspiration from modern works of art that celebrate blue, perhaps the best-loved colour of all.

Discover the most important blues, ones that the all-time greatest painters have used in order to paint velvet, mountains, Madonnas, angels, skies and storms. Throughout the book, Valentina and Viola provide creative and fun prompts many based on famous works of art which will encourage you to draw or paint on the pages using various techniques. Packed with inspiration from the world's most celebrated artists, including the ancient Egyptians, John Constable, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Yves Klein and more, you will discover the many meanings of blue and just some of the innumerable stories that bring it to life.
