"Leave
the Obvious Vague and Exaggerate the Essential"
- Vincent Van Gogh
Learn to capture expression and beauty in wood - without the rigid rules of realism.
Do your carvings lack the artistic expression you desire? If so, try stylized carving. This technique favors form over detail and allows the natural state of the wood to dictate the direction of your work. By using this technique, your carvings will gain movement and your work will be more interesting.
Inside this book you will be introduced to the artwork of 14 accomplished carvers. You will find out what inspires thema nd why they prefer stylized carving to other techniques.
