New Edition Painters love acrylics, because of its versatility and ease of use. With this art school in a book, which features a series of simple, detailed exercises, beginners and enthusiasts can unlock the exciting possibilities of the form. Capture different shapes in a still life of watering cans and flowerpots, or a seascape view with clouds and rocks. Try a Boater and Blazer to master angular and straight folds, or a street scene, self-portrait, and others. Plus, there's advice on how to use acrylics to achieve the same effects as watercolors and oils. Techniques covered include stippling, scumbling, sponging, masking, and glazing.
