Format:Paperback
I am knew to acrylic painting and this book provided a really good starting point. Giving lots of tips on how to do things and explaining key techniques like how to make an object you paint 3d instead of flat (and boring!). The author also covers information on how to paint lots of different objects you might like to have a go at such as trees, buildings, boats, skies, people animals fruit and flowers. This book inspired me to have a go and the only thing would improve it is a picture of the brushes she recommends as I wasn't exactly sure what she was referring to. But overall a fiver well spent I say
