Acrylics are perhaps the most versatile of all paints, they can be used instead of watercolour, oil or gouache & have many of
the advantages, yet very few of the drawbacks of these traditional colours.
Used straight from the tube acrylics are opaque making it easy to paint one colour over another
- a boon when it comes to correcting mistakes.
The Acrylic Workbook assumes the painter has no knowledge of acrylics & starts at the very beginning. The ten lessons outlined in this book are, Colour, Getting Started, Creating Textures, Washes, Creating Form, Still Life, Effects with Paint, Landscape, People & finally Collage..
It is important to follow & complete the lessons in chronological order as each lesson introduces new information & techniques which are then used in subsequent lessons.
