Well-known contemporary
artist Jean-Paul van
Boxtel introduces many
innovative techniques and
applications for acrylic
paint, whose physical
composition makes it
incredibly versatile. The
book also deals in detail
with the latest trends,
including gels and media.
The first part of the
book answers the question
'what is acrylic paint?',
and goes on to describe
the various products that
are available. Following
on from this is a
'gallery' section,
providing examples of
paintings that show the
wide range of styles and
finishes possible using
acrylic paints. The
author then guides you
step-by-step through
sixteen 'workshops',
each of which uses a
different set of
materials, so that the
reader can learn how to
create their own
beautiful paintings.
These include still
lifes, landscapes,
architecture, portraits
and abstract art. Careful
attention is paid to
health and safety
throughout, and a useful
colour chart at the end
of the book introduces
you to the range of
colours available from
which you can put
together your own
palette. The book
includes exceptional
photographs, taken by
the author specially for
this book. About the
Author Jean-Paul van
Boxtel has loved drawing
and painting since he was
a child, though he began
his working life in
photography and graphic
design. He later added
painting to his
portfolio, and attended
courses at the Academy of
Fine Arts in Belgium to
develop his painting
skills. Besides being an
artist Jean-Paul also
teaches. He has his own
small art school at
home, where a number of
students have been
attending his classes
since 1991. Jean-Paul was
also a contributor to the
arts magazine Atelier for
several years. His wide
expertise means he is
very much in demand,
travelling the length and
breadth of the
Netherlands and Belgium
to lead workshops in art
shops, cultural centres
and art schools,
including the Free
Academy in The Hague.
Jean-Paul also organises
courses in photography
and digital image
manipulation, and
regularly arranges study
tours abroad, for
example to Venice,
Tuscany and Umbria.

Filled with outstanding
colour illustrations,
here is a landmark study
of one of Vincent van
Gogh's most famous
paintings. Vincent van
Gogh painted Irises in
the last year of his
life, in the garden of
the asylum at Saint-Remy,
where he was
recuperating from a
period of mental illness.
Its energy and theme -
the regenerative powers
of the earth - express
the artist's deeply held
belief in the divinity of
art and nature. Featuring
full-colour
reproductions, not only
of van Gogh's nature
paintings, but also from
the artists who inspired
him - including Albrect
Durer, Da Vinci, Monet,
and Gauguin - this
beautiful volume presents
a long overdue and
in-depth study of Irises,
placed in the context of
his glorious flower and
garden paintings.
