Blue

Many people crave a creative outlet, but more often than not, don't know where
to start. In Blue, Valentina Zucchi and Viola Niccolai invite you to nurture
your creativity and build your confidence by taking inspiration from modern
works of art that celebrate blue, perhaps the best-loved colour of all.

Discover the most important blues, ones that the all-time greatest painters
have used in order to paint velvet, mountains, Madonnas, angels, skies and
storms. Throughout the book, Valentina and Viola provide creative and fun
prompts – many based on famous works of art – which will encourage you to draw
or paint on the pages using various techniques. Packed with inspiration from
the world's most celebrated artists, including the ancient Egyptians, John
Constable, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Yves Klein and more, you will
discover the many meanings of blue and just some of the innumerable stories
that bring it to life.

Blue is a short course in unlocking your creative self – perfect for budding
artists of all ages who are keen to try out different artistic techniques and
materials, and begin their artistic journey.
