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!
