Incredible Acrylics
by Jean-Paul Van Boxtel (9781844485376)

A virtual master study of acrylic paint and its possibilities, this resource introduces innovative techniques for everything acrylic--a medium with a dynamic physical composition that affords vast and versatile applications. Beginning with the question "What is acrylic paint?," this comprehensive tutorial investigates the myriad aspects of getting started--such as brush selection, paint qualities and types, and surface varieties--and moves beyond the basics to cover more advanced processes with in-depth details of the latest trends, including gels and mixed media. 16 step-by-step workshops--each of which uses a different set of materials--includes still life, landscape, architecture, portraiture, and abstract art. Caveats are afforded to health and safety throughout, and a useful color chart provides guidance through the available acrylic color spectrum, with tips on mixing primary colors toward endless coloring possibilities. A gallery of finished acrylic art is also provided, with examples that offer a wide range of styles and finishes.
