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 sooo good!, 1 Jun 2007
I have been at a stage in which I have become a little stuck in what techniques etc, can be used with acrylics. I am so glad this book was brought for me as a xmas present. It has been constantly in use as a reference book,and has enabled artwork to become more diverse. Leading me to look out for other books of this level, of which are recommended in this book. To also guide me further.
