Artist and debut author Thomas guides readers through using Brusho, a highly pigmented, water-based paint powder, to create colorful paintings in this gorgeously illustrated volume. Introduced to the medium 10 years ago, the author explains how experimentation and practice led her to appreciate the flexibility of the painting medium, which can be activated with a wet brush or spray bottle or applied to wet surfaces for different effects. The bold, bright colors of the example artworks have an impressionistic quality that suggests movement and textures. Several demo activities give readers a chance to gain skills, while 10 projects incorporate Thomas’s techniques for using wax to repel paint or diluted bleach to lift color in creating animals, insects, flowers, and landscapes. The book includes line art for each project.
VERDICT While some artists may not have the skills to draw similarly beguiling images, Thomas’s Brusho techniques are appealing enough to be used for abstract pieces or simply for enjoyment of the painting process itself. Many readers will certainly be inspired to give Brusho a try.
