Green: A Drawing Book Inspired by Art

Description

Many people crave a creative outlet, but more often than not, don't know where to start. In Green (True Colour), Valentina Zucchi and Angela Leon invite you to nurture your creativity and build your confidence by taking inspiration from works of art that celebrate green - the colour of fertility, abundance and life. Green (True Colour) imparts energy, relaxes, refreshes, cleanses and heals. It is ultimately a colour that belongs to nature and has always been loved by artists. Throughout the book, Valentina and Angela 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 Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Georges Seurat and more, you will discover the many meanings of green and just some of the ways it can be used to express your creative passion.
