The Innovative Artist: The Art of Pyrography

Drawing with Fire

Cherry Ferris

Description

Learn to burn: illuminate your pyrographic art with mixed media, gilding and more. Cherry Ferris takes the subject to new heights, incorporating mixed media, unusual supports and innovative techniques to elevate the craft to an artform.

The book begins with an overview and history of the subject, a tools and equipment section, an introduction to the basic techniques and information on surfaces that you can safely burn. It then moves on to how to transfer designs onto surfaces and incorporate a mixed media approach by looking at shading techniques, introducing colour into your work, playing with backgrounds and how to finish, protect and display your finished pieces.

Four shorter mini burns complement ten longer step-by-step projects that walk you through the techniques and materials used. A troubleshooting and safety section is also included, making this a one-stop shop to get all your pyrography questions answered.
