Learn to Paint in Acrylics with 50 Small Paintings: Pick up the skills * Put on the paint * Hang up your art
Description
Learn all you need to know about acrylic painting as you create 50 stunning
mini paintings. Following an overview of painting fundamentals, illustrated
step-by-step instructions accompanied by lessons on specific techniques lead
your way. This unique book is a complete course in acrylic painting, built up
from key techniques. As you progress through the sections of the book, the
author demonstrates each technique with the creation of a mini painting,
measuring 5-inches squared. So by the time you have worked right through to
the end, you will have an amazing collection of 50 mini paintings—on board,
paper, or canvas—that will be a testament to your skill and creativity. The
subject matter for these squares varies from abstracts and simple color-mixing
exercises, through to figurative subjects: a flower, a sunset, a busy street
scene—and many more. These can be mounted, exhibited, or simply collected in a
portfolio, or given away as gifts for friends to cherish. If you are coming to
acrylics for the first time, or keen to improve your skills and sometimes
daunted by the thought of filling a large empty canvas or blank piece of
board, this is your ideal guide. Instead, it will free you from creative hang-
ups and replace them with an addictive desire to create that next 5-inch
square! Read more
