Acrylic is a popular & versatile medium & 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 & looks at tone & 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 & 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 & a more complex subject, a field of poppies. In each, he mainly uses the oil technique, using the paint undiluted straight from the tube & frequently with knives. In the DVD Tim takes you through three complete projects: some white magnolia flowers on a bold background, a field of poppies & some stunning roses. Tim shows you how to use the texture & brightness of the white canvas to bring the magnolias to life, how to use the background colour to create dynamic & intense poppies with a pallet knife, & how using both a brush & pallet knife combination can give texture & depth to rose petals & leaf work. The DVD also contains a bonus feature where Tim gives you a guided tour through the various ways of using the palette knife. As an ambassador for acrylics, Tim will show you just how easy to work with & versatile acrylics are, & how they are perfect for creating bold, impressionistic flowers. All in all this set is an excellent start for those wanting to get to get to grips with acrylics. Book: Search Press, Paperback, 64 pages, Colour throughout DVD: 75 mins Author: Tim Fisher ...
