This is one of a series of books designed for both the beginner and enthusiast alike, providing information on many of the techniques associated with acrylics. The book includes an assessment of the merits of acrylics, a guide to materials and equipment and recommendations on a basic palette and how to make a start. 15 graded, step-by-step projects put the techniques into practice and produce accomplished finished paintings.
Capture different shapes in a still life of watering cans and flowerpots, or a seascape view with clouds and rocks. Try a Boater and Blazer to master angular and straight folds, or a street scene, self-portrait, and others. Bonus: advice on using acrylics to get the same effects as watercolors and oils. Techniques covered include stippling, scumbing, sponging, wet on wet, masking, and glazing.
