Now you can recreate the glowing, muted colors and sinuous complexities of Art Nouveau stained glass with this handsome coloring book. Artist A. G. Smith has carefully preserved the familiar swirling, organic forms in 16 boldly outlined designs derived from works by master artisans of the Art Nouveau tradition. Printed on translucent paper, lovely patterns depict motifs of flowing leaves, vines and flowers, graceful birds, mythical creatures and more. Each exquisite design lends itself especially to coloring with crayons, felt tip pens, acrylics, watercolors, tempera, and even oil paint. All can be mounted on windows and lampshades or placed near other sources of light to create startling stained glass effects. Paperback, 32 pages. ISBN:486277100. DOVER |
