Book Description
The Villa Savoye in Poissy near Paris is one of the most frequently visited of Le Corbusier's buildings. Simultaneously an assertion of classical values - the temple that surveys the surrounding landscape - and a paradigm of modern dwelling, it is the synthesis of the urban themes and architectural vocabulary developed by Le Corbusier throughout the 1920s. "Total purity", formal radicalism and innovative style have elevated it to the ranks of the most significant and symbolic works of 20th century residential architecture. Historical documents and drawings make this handy-sized volume an invaluable guide for visitors and a practical introduction for all architectural enthusiasts.

Book Description
Par son architecture d’une netteté absolue, la Villa Savoye achevée par Le Corbusier en 1931 est un emblème de l’architecture du XXe siècle reconnaissable entre mille. Elle réalise de manière subtile la fusion des « cinq points de la nouvelle architecture » : plan libre, fenêtre bandeau, façade libre, pilotis et toit-terrasse. Tout en intégrant manifestement des éléments de l’architecture classique, elle fait partie des œuvres pionnières de l’architecture moderne. André Malraux la classa d’ailleurs monument historique en 1965. Avec des documents d’époque et des photographies récentes à l’appui, ce guide présente les nombreuses facettes de cette villa aussi bien au visiteur qu’au lecteur amateur d’architecture.

It is well written by a world class rock artist and teacher and in addition to offering know-how, it is an encouraging book that shows the way to get involved in this fascinating and not too expensive art form.
Painting Flowers on Rocks by Lin Welford.......2006-03-16
This book was as I expected it to be.. the demonstrations were clear and instructons easy.. I ordered it because of an episode on the Carol Duvall show in which the author painted a beautiful bouquet on a simple smooth rock ..I have ordered other books of the same nature from Amazon before and have been equally satisfied.
Being creative.......2006-02-26
It was such a pleasure to receive Lin's book about painting flowers on rocks. I have several of her other books which has brought us lots of hours of fun and fantasy. We appreciate her talents and her sharing her ideas with others like us. Her flower painted rocks are perfect for places like cemeteries that don't allow fresh flowers. It helps bring beauty to our loved ones graves without the work and worry of live plantings. The rocks require "no watering!" Thanks Lin for all your creative ideas.

Customer Reviews:
It deserves 10 stars.......2007-03-18
This is such a well designed book. A must for all decorative painters who love florals. The spiral bound book gives ease of use and reference. This artist really delivers with the information, content, illustrations, directions. Its so refreshing to buy a book that actually delivers what it adverises!! So glad I picked this one up. I've taken a break from decorative paining for a few years and miss it so am starting up again but am rusty from the absence. I selected this book and also Maureen McNaugton's Brushstroke Handbook: Ultimate guide.... It too is well worth buying. The latter is a brushstroke content but the illustrations and also directions plus color suggestions (as in Laure Paillex's too) are great at getting started. Both can be combined to make beautiful stilllife bouquets. And for the quick version I also added Donna Dewberry's Flowers from A to Z and am happy with that choice as well. Enjoy.

Excellent for any level artist........1999-07-21

Customer Reviews:
Excellent painting instruction book for first time painters.......2000-06-20
Strokework Flowers is truly a step by step guide to making beautiful painted flowers. Ms. Clark takes a traditional multi-load technique and updates it to current styles. The Pansies and other flowers are colorful and will fit in any decor. The instructions are clearly photographed and worded so that anyone even familiar with painting could have a finished project in a short amount of time. I would recomend this book to anyone interested in this type of multi-load technique. I would even recomend this book to those that are looking to learn new ways to paint but have never had experience with multi-load before because Ms. Clark's instructions are very easy to follow.
Ms. Clark even adds additional information on the Chemtek techniques, showing how to add metal finishes and patinas to any project- including paper, wood etc.
Overall rating is Excellent, a definite - "Have to have book"
Strokework Flowers - Step by Step By Margot Clark.......2000-06-20
Strokework Flowers is definitely a great book for those who have ever been afraid to try this method of decorative painting.
Don't be fooled by this book's cover, it's so much better than you would believe! The cover is a bit drab compared to the color inside this book.
Clear, colorful photographs fill this book and are followed with well written captions, brush care information, correct hand positions and movement, surface preparation instructions, strokework theory, paint blending, the patterns and information on antiquing.
Margot Clark has created a book that all painters will find can help them be successful in completing the 7 projects she's included as well as a reference for future paiting projects you may work on.
This is a great book for the value, and I really believe anyone could learn to paint with this method considering the high well written and photographed book!
Strokework Flowers Step by Step by Margot Clark.......2000-06-20
Definitely a must have reference book for the artist wishing to learn to master multi loaded strokework. The drawings and diagrams are very excellent. The photography is great allowing the reader to view the hand/brush position for every stroke. Margot's written instructions leave nothing to guess. She has taken clean, modern color combinations and given the reader an excellent choice of subject material to practice and learn with. Additional information is giving on beautiful, easily executed faux finishes and trim work. Not only a great learning/reference book, but a good source of inspiration for artists who paint to sell! Learn an easy technique to quickly but elegantly decorated very saleable pieces! A MUST HAVE for beginning artists also!
Stroke Flowers Step by Step.......2000-06-20
A 'MUST HAVE' addition to the shelves of any tolepainter's library! The instructions are comprehensive and the clarity of illustrations made it a snap to follow along. Learning this multi-load technique was rewarding and surprisingly simple using the author's pertinent instructions. I've gotten lots of compliments on the floral paintings I created using this method - and for a beginner painter like me ... that was thrilling! Well worth the price and I continue to enjoy using this book over & over.
Easy Floral Painting.......2000-06-19
For decorative painters and lovers of floral design, this book covers a wide range of elegant and realistic florals on an unusual variety of surfaces. Margot has broken each floral element into easy to accomplish steps. Also, the florals are combined with some unusual finishing techniques to make it possible to create some very personal heirlooms. This book is a must for any floral painter's library.
