Collage artists have long incorporated fine art techniques like painting and drawing in their work. This book turns the tables, showing painters and illustrators the benefits of adding dimension to their art by mixing media. Through a series of essays on their approach followed by demonstrations, St. Cyr and the other artists reveal how alternative, mixed-media aesthetics unite the disciplines of two-dimensional, three-dimensional, digital, and new-media art. By starting from the fine art perspective, these artists produce very refined, multilayered work that is visually arresting and may give you a whole new point of view.
