A fun and accessible guide to acrylics, featuring step-by-step
exercises and advice on technique to help your paintings flourish.
Leading painter, teacher and writer Soraya French has distilled her
art teaching into the things that matter most and can be digested
in a short period of time - in just one afternoon you can start
acrylic painting. Learning to paint is one of the life-long
aspirations of many of us, and painting with today's acrylics
paints has never been easier or more accessible. Acrylics are
becoming increasingly popular, especially for beginners because of
their versatility and strength of colour. Acrylics can be used
thickly like oils, but they dry much more quickly, or they can be
watered down to look like watercolour. The author, known for her
own vibrant and colourful acrylic paintings, covers equipment and
the best colours to buy and shows the different ways of using
acrylic to create a range of effects with simple instruction and
easy-to-follow exercises. She shows how to use acrylics to paint a
range of subjects: flowers and trees, landscapes, cityscapes and
people.
