Porcelain Painting - Tradition & Imagination by Kugelmeier

Porcelain Painting - Tradition & Imagination by Petra and Jorg Kugelmeier, who both trained at the Meissen factory and combine old world techniques with contemporary European design. This 95 page book is packed with gorgeous pictures of their work and covers a wide range of subjects. Starting with basics such as painting mediums and brushes, they move into brush strokes and many different painting designs. Subjects include how to paint leaves, bird feathers, various birds such as wrens, cardinals, robins, blue jays and even a macaw. They then show beautiful ways to paint roses, wisteria and pansies. And, just to remind us how European they are, they do a section on Dutch landscapes that is wonderful. You will learn a lot and be inspired by two of today's most talented contemporary porcelain artists.
