Product Description
Mixed-media artists and daring crafters can take their projects to the next level using any of the forty-five techniques featured in Canvas Remix. Painting marries the hot aesthetic of graffiti to produce twenty-five projects that take canvas way beyond the stretcher bar. Strong color, bold lines and a touch of funkiness are evident as readers learn how to use paint, create amazing collage art and work with canvas. Techniques for working with canvas and various paints are briefly discussed before the reader takes their painted canvas to the next level with hand-carved stamps, image transfers and more. A step-by-step creation of various items such as a tote bag, placemats, and canvas beads for jewelry are included in this hip, must-try-it book

Alisa's book really inspired me. Just starting a canvas of my own was so much fun and all of her different techniques expanded what I thought was even possible! I've always wanted to give a personal touch to something like a clutch and my first finished product has inspired me to try so much more. All my friends have complimented the clutch and want me to make them one.
Inspired by Canvas Remix! September 30, 2008

I really love this book! It is full of vibrant photos and straightforward techniques that are simple enough for youngsters but totally fun for adults! Alisa Burke has taken a unique approach to creating within one medium-not an easy task- and has come up with all kinds of techniques and projects that the everyday person, without drawing or painting skills can actually accomplish. She also has come up with projects that are easy to duplicate and at the same time can serve as inspiration for creating with your own personal twist! As a quilter and fabric artist I am inspired by Canvas Remix and can't wait to get started on my own canvas creations!!
 I returned this book September 30, 2008

This would be a good book for a beginner experimenting with canvas. For those who have some experience using surface design on canvas you might want to try another book with more more advanced techniques.
