What a delight!

If you lurk on the creative internet, you’ll have occasionally seen videos of “squeegee” art: dots and/or lines of (usually) acrylic paint + a scraper >> beautiful abstract art. Clara Cristina de Souza Rego is one of the best at it. This is a wonderful book demonstrating techniques through projects you can try—which I did, to excellent effect. I even know what to correct because of de Souza Rego’s excellent instruction.

If you’d like to learn a quick way of producing colourful and stunning art without hours of investment in learning a new skill, this is the book for you. You’ll be amazed at the magic you produce.

Thank you to Walter Foster Publishing and to NetGalley for an early copy.
