The Acrylic Artists Bible With
Marilyn Scott

The essential reference
for the practising
artist. Acrylic is used
by many well-known
professional artists,
but is rather less
popular with amateurs.
This is surprising,
because acrylic is not
only the most versatile
of all the painting
media, but is also
highly forgiving. You can
paint out mistakes as you
work, even making major
changes to the colour
scheme and composition,
so that each new painting
can become a springboard
for ideas. And the range
of different effects you
can achieve is vast - if
you try out some of the
exciting techniques and
projects in this book you
may find yourself falling
in love with the
medium. - Learn to use
and enjoy this wondergul
but under-rated painting
medium. - Contains
complete information on
materials and techniques,
with full-colour
photographs and
step-by-step
demonstrations. - Over
100 visual sequences give
advice on how to paint
tricky subjects, from
skies and water to faces
and figures. - Includes
advise on presenting your
finished paintings and
getting your work seen
and exhibited. Book:
