Ever wished you could draw with Warholian flair, or create photo collages with the clout of Hockney? Well dream no more. Draw, Paint, Print Like the Great Artists, a new book by Marion Deuchars considers the key innovations of some of art history's most celebrated figures – from Dalí's Surrealist mix-and-match game of Exquisite Corpse to Joan Miró's free-flowing automatic drawing – giving (wonderfully illustrated) tips on how to emulate them. As Deuchars explains, "Every artist learns by looking at the work of others, and then picks up bits of that and makes art in their own way... It may be something as simple as using scissors rather than a pencil or being fascinated by a playful excerise to take your imagination somehwere unfamiliar." So as winter creeps closer and cosy nights at home grow ever more appealing, why not take this chance to get creative and channel your own inner-greatness.
Happy Monday! #anotherhappymonday
