Let one of today's finest woodburning artists teach you the dynamic technique known as negative pyrography. Each of the 15 lessons on this instructional DVD puts you right next to Sue Walters as she creates "Burning Night," a dramatic depiction of the New York City skyline. Instead of burning on pale wood to produce a positive image, as in traditional pyrography, Sue demonstrates how to engrave through burned wood to expose natural wood color. Her techniques will open your mind to new possibilities in your pyrography and craft pursuits. You can use negative pyrography to achieve contrasting light effects in designs from basic to high realism. This set also includes a bonus 8-page color booklet with patterns and tips for negative woodburning that will get you inspired.
