A Maker’s Guide to the Art, Stories and Recipes for Creating Paint
L
Lucy Mayes
Provides a structural background on the history and science of pigment, plus practical techniques and twenty recipes to create a wide variety of colourful shades from everyday waste or rocks from your garden: the artistic mind and body in perfect harmony with the local environment.
Perfectly timed for the growing trend for eco art materials and supplies: by learning how to make paint – often quite literally from your own backyard – there is the chance to add greater narrative, purpose and meaning to an Artist Statement.
Lucy is one of the leading voices in the UK for all things ‘pigment’ and runs her own company and workshops. She is incredibly well connected and on the international scene and recognised as one of the world’s leading experts, making the book required reading by all sections of the Arts community.
