Collage, Colour and Texture in Painting

Collage, Colour and Texture in Painting by Mike Bernard and Robin Capon, hardback published by Batsford. ISBN 978-1-906388-57-7, price 18.99 from www.anovabooks.com

I was drawn to the colourful cover of this book and the inside is no disappointment. It is full of interesting, quite complex-looking work that has much detail. Many of the collages are painted in one of my favourite parts of the world – Cornwall and others have one of my favourite subjects – boats. There is much to learn from this book – colour, collage, abstraction, visual impact. I would recommend this to budding artists interested in collage.
