Floating! That's a wonderful sounding word. I can visualize myself doing it in many different ways: floating down a magnificent flight of stairs in beautiful chiffon, floating in a wonderful lagoon or in tropical waters looking through google at all the beautiful fish below, floating through the clouds. On a bright, sunny day in a glider plane, there are so many different ways one can imagine floating.
Well, let's get back to reality and talk about the word "floating" as it applies to decorative painting. It is a skill used in many ways to create works of beauty. When we float, we typically apply color lightly and lightly onto a surface to create a shadow, highlight, reflection, or glow. The skill actually came from the world of watercolors, and of course we also used that skill with oils and acrylics.
All of the projects in this book use the floating technique as much as possible. This important skill is taught step by step in the photographs.
So, come "float" with me through a rainbow of colors and enhance your decorative painting world.
