Lots of know-how and step-by-step demos. July 8, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is an up to date book on the latest acrylics painting materials and methods. The first section is called "Starting Points" and deals with materials, working with paint, developing color, groundwork, and essential techniques. Later sections are on "Still Life," "Life and Portrait," "Landscape," and "Contemporary". Each section contains a step-by-step demo of a painting project and there are lots of good tips and techniques to try. I've been working with acrylic paints for many years and I was delighted to find several things new and exciting to try. It's a lot of info packed into a fairly compact book. The size of this book is 10 inches by 7 5/8 inches and 128 pages. But the color photos are clear, bright and plentiful. I recommend this book for beginners to intermediate level painters.
