How To Paint Flowers In
Acrylics Book With Tim Fisher

Acrylic is a popular and
versatile medium and this
handy little book brings
to it a favourite subject
that deserves a further
look that will help you
to get started. After a
brief survey of
materials, Tim
introduces some basic
techniques and looks at
tone and colour, with
some notes on mixing in
the specific context of
flowers. He follows this
with some handy ideas on
getting started, with
advice on sketching and
composition. All of this
is necessarily brief in
order to leave room for
the three demonstrations,
which form the main meat
of the book. In these,
Tim shows you in some
detail how to paint wild
roses, Black-eyed Susans
and a more complex
subject, a field of
poppies. In each, he
mainly uses the oil
technique, using the
paint undiluted straight
from the tube and
frequently with
knives. All in all this
is an excellent start for
those wanting to get to
get to grips with
acrylics. Book: Search

Big Book Of Acrylic Painting
Book With Lee Hammond

Compiled from the
author's four previous
books, this 'best of'
collection makes for a
thoroughly comprehensive
introduction to a popular
and rewarding
medium. There's a
natural progression to
the layout, from Getting
Started to Understanding
Colour and Basic
Techniques. And each
section is filled with
advice and exercises that
make learning an entirely
practical experience.
You'll discover tools and
surfaces as well as
brushwork, colours,
reflections and shadows.
So you'll find your feet
before you attempt
something more
ambitious. With the
foundations established,
further chapters deal
with still life,
landscapes, animals and
people - all with the
same detailed approach.
In fact, the People
section goes into so much
detail about the elements
and structure of the
human face that it's
almost a manual of
portraiture in itself.
The Landscape section
deals with trees,
mountains and water. If
you want to discover the
wealth of possibilities
offered by acrylics,
there's nothing better
than this substantial
offering. Book:

Acrylics Unleashed Book With
Glyn Macey

This book is dedicated
"To YOU, lovely artist"
and that sums up the
enthusiasm Glyn feels for
his medium and what he
can do with it. The
title, too, perfectly
conveys the
no-holds-barred approach
he brings to
painting. This is a book
bursting with ideas.
Glyn's subjects are
mostly landscapes and
seascapes, but he's
equally at home with
buildings, trees and
flowers and you get the
sense that he'll turn his
hand to any subject - as
long as it enthuses him.
His working methods are
relatively unconventional
and he'll often use
spattering and stippling
to give the sense of a
background or foreground
rather than paint it in
detail. All this gives
his work a feeling of
fluidity and spontaneity
that, in his capable
hands, always
works. This is not a
book for the
faint-hearted but, if
you like experimenting,
you'll absolutely buy
into Glyn's refreshing
approach and methods. For
someone who apparently
works straight from the
top of his head, he
turns out to be able to
convey his methods
surprisingly clearly and
the step-by-step
demonstrations that make
up the bulk of the book
are very easy to
follow. If you want to
take your work to a new
level, but not to follow
the abstract route, Glyn
is the perfect
companion. Book: Search

Vibrant Acrylic Book With
Hashim Akib

This exciting new book
from first-time author
Hashim Akib (2009 SAA
Artist of the Year) is
much more about the
process of painting than
it is about the mechanics
of applying paint. As
Hashim says, The best
tool for learning to
paint is to paint, and
his colourful and fluent
artworks can't fail to
encourage you to do just
that. The book is filled
with tips and
demonstrations, but also
with light, colour and
urgency that all fully
justify the use of
Vibrant in the title.
Hashim paints in a heavy
impasto style that
creates a sense of
movement and vitality to
subjects that include
landscapes, portraits,
buildings and animals.
Intriguingly, he also
works from a coloured
ground that sets off the
overpainting that
follows, bringing
everything forward as a
result and giving real
depth to light and
shade. In the portrait
project, Hashim
describes the importance
of acclimatising to the
scene by creating colour
layers, giving depth and
texture. His urban-scape
project is a great
example of how to break a
complex scene down into
simple, manageable
shapes. Book: Search

Ready To Paint The Masters -
Renoir In Acrylics With Noel
Gregory

One of the reasons for
the continuing popularity
of the Impressionists is
their sheer
painterliness: just
looking at a Renoir or a
Monet is guaranteed to
get those brush fingers
itching! In this
remarkably informative
and instructional book,
Noel Gregory re-creates
five classic Renoirs -
Lady With Parasol,
Portrait of Jeanne
Samary, After the Bath,
Mediterranean Fruits,
and The Seine at Chatou -
providing a study
predominantly in blues,
portraiture, figure
work, still life and
landscape. The whole
gamut of art, in fact.
Re-creations often fail
to work because copying
seems to induce
stiffness, but there's
looseness and flow to
these demonstrations
(with their associated
tracings) that perfectly
capture the spirit of the
originals. If you want to
paint in the same manner
as the Impressionists,
as opposed to just copy
their work, this rather
good little book should
put you in the right
frame of mind. Book:
Search Press. Paperback.
64 pages. Colour

Gregory ISBN:
