New and experimental ways to capture landscape in acrylics.
Landscape artist Paul Bailey's fascination with the natural world
is sensationally conveyed in his colourful and semi-abstract
paintings. In Experimental Nature in Acrylics, he reveals his
techniques for the first time – making it simple for readers to
produce their own work that is abstract, evocative and full of
vivid colour. Through easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step
demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in
surprising – yet often simple – ways. Readers will learn how
distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers or flat,
open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes.
There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract
elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and
how to create a compositional sense of rhythm. Paul’s beautiful
and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a
masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering and splattering the
paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer, the
process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a
static image. This essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to
augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation
of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful
paintings.
