Techniques to incorporate meaning, texture, colour and pattern as key inspiration elements in visual art. There is inspiration all around, but short of realistically replicating a vacation snapshot or trying to express the incredible taste of a meal shared with a loved one, it can be challenging knowing how to turn inspiration into art. The processes in this book will show you that it's not as much about what inspiring bits are, but rather what they could be. Using three phases--preparation, inspiration and realization--you will learn how to translate emotional responses into something tangible and visible in a new expression.
