Painting Acrylic Landscapes The Easy Way

Product Description

Terry Harrison shows how to paint landscapes in acrylics using a range of simple brush techniques, & the author's own range of brushes. He introduces the brushes, which he has designed to carry out specific techniques, & also explains which other materials are required, including using a limited palette of paint colours. He then describes what each of the brushes is suitable for, before going on to explain acrylic painting techniques such as painting a tree close-up, painting reflections & snow, creating distance & using texture pastes, glaze medium & palette knives. There are six beautiful demonstrations with easy to follow text & step by step photographs, covering popular Terry Harrison subjects: a summer landscape, a winter scene, a coastal view, a landscape with a barn, a Venetian scene & a beautiful building covered in wisteria.
