Clara Cristina de Souza Rego (@aclaracris) first went viral for a squeegee painting video that she posted on social media. Her hundreds of thousands of followers frequently ask for her for tips and techniques. In Squeegee Art Revolution, Clara offers them in abundance so you can learn to make abstract art in her signature style.

Complete instructions for making 22 finished pieces are included in the book, as well as tips throughout, suggestions for creating a balanced artwork, ideas for what to do with leftover paint to reduce waste and cost, how to know when you're done painting, and much more. Each project can be done in minutes using affordable, accessible materials and makes perfect gifts and home decor.

Clara's pieces are beautifully photographed and styled in this highly visual book that includes projects for painting:

  • A black hole
  • Words of encouragement
