{"product_id":"9780804859370","title":"Modern Japanese Painting Techniques : A Step-by-Step Beginner's Guide (over 21 Lessons and 300 Illustrations) by Shinichi Fukui","description":"This book makes it easy to create and admire wonderful Japanese-style paintings and portraits!Modern Japanese-style paintings are recognizable by their restrained use of three-dimensionality and perspective, reliance upon expressive lines, and the bold use of color to direct the viewer's eye. There are other ways that artists imbue their work with Japanese- inspired attributes, including through the skillful use of shape, texture, and facial expression.   Author Shinichi Fukui introduces readers to 7 notable modern Japanese artists (Kazuo Kawakami, Chiaki Takasugi, Miho Tanaka, Ryohei Nishiyama, Jose Franky, Ryohei Murata, and Keiji Yano) who specialize in shin hanga-style portraiture of Japanese women. He then presents instructions to create 21 different original paintings-from sketching models, preparing and mixing paints, blocking in color, and rendering fine details.   Using these techniques, and a bit of acrylic paint, readers will be able to create eye-catching works of art that express a timeless Japanese aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420365238645,"sku":"9780804859370","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780804859370.jpg?v=1764607664","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780804859370","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
