Product Description

Product Description

The acrylics of today have grown into the most adaptable art material of the modern age. Focusing on a popular art medium that has been around for over 50 years, The New Acrylics illustrates how artists can create lush textures, colour, and lustre with the modern acrylics readily available in any art supply store. These are non-toxic, environmentally sound, and exist in the most dazzling array of chemical formats - from the most fluid to the highly viscous. Not only do artists paint with acrylics these days, they can create rich metallic effects, or even 3-Dimensional sculptures. Traditional technique based books on acrylics cover traditional methods of painting. However, The New Acrylics is geared towards more non-conventional ways in which to manipulate modern-day acrylics, and demonstrates new applications such as glazing, textured effects, soft sculpture effects, or staining, thus reinventing the old way of handling acrylics, and revealing a fabulous new artistic medium. The underlying theme of this dazzling and sophisticated book is to encourage artists to interpret and handle acrylic paints in a vibrant, fresh, and above all, individualistic style.

First Sentence
IN AN AGE when clothing and hairstyles are unisex, stores offer one-stop shopping, restaurants serve world cuisine, and music crosses and blends all cultural and stylistic boundaries, acrylics shine as the do-it-all-paints, the only stuff you really need. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars An Indispensible Guide to the New Generation Acrylic Paints, 15 May 2008
By Mrs. H. V. Minor "Halimeda Hilary" (Guildford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I would recommend this book to anybody new(ish) to acrylics. If you want to stop regarding acrylics as mimic alternatives to oils and start understanding them as a completely new medium full of exciting possibilities of their own, then this is the book for you! It is a comprehensive guide through the mind-boggling range of paint types and media that will take a lot of the guesswork out of choosing what you need to achieve the effects you are looking for.
