Format:Paperback
I have not used acrylics before and this book was just what I needed. It is full of practical advice with step by step examples and it has been an invaluable supplement to my art classes. I would recommend this book to anyone who has not had a lot of experience with acrylics. I found it inspirational

Format:Paperback
I've been painting for several years with oil painting and watercolors but I've never tried the new acrylic colors. That's why I was looking for a simple but complete guide for acrylic painting. I think this book accomplishes that goal perfectly giving you a complete panorama of the new possibilites acrylic painting provides.

As a beginner to acrylic paints this book is ideal for me as it describes well the different techniques that can be employed. The many examples of completed paintings are also a great source of inspiration.

Decent price for an "ideas" book for artists
While the author is honest in calling this book an encyclopaedia, it's a mini-encyclopaedia. It runs to 175 pages with index and is well-illustrated throughout. Read more
