All About Techniques in Acrylics (All About Techniques Art Series)

Art instruction books in this increasingly popular series are written especially for advanced students and professionals. They present a virtual treasure house of techniques that, when mastered by the artist, give a finished artwork that has an unmistakable professional appearance. This title analyzes and describes the wealth of exciting possibilities available to artists who paint with plastic-based pigments, or acrylics. These pigments can be used to imitate the qualities of other media as diverse as oils and watercolors, while retaining a quality and brightness that is all their own.
