Urban style graffiti and mixed-media arts combine in this book to produce twenty-five projects that take canvas way beyond the stretcher bar. Strong color, bold lines and a touch of funkiness are evident as you learn how to use paint, create amazing collage art and work with canvas. You'll start by learning the techniques for working with canvas and various paints, then advance to the next level with hand-carved stamps, image transfers and more. Step by step you'll create a tote bag, placemats, canvas beads for jewelry, and more…all in a fun, hip style!
