Product Description

Product Description

The latest title in the "Foundation Course" series of art instruction books that teaches readers how to create successful paintings using these popular media. Those who have barely put pencil to paper or brush to canvas will be gently guided through the basics, developing their skills and building up confidence. Those who already have experience will be inspired to go further, to explore more advanced techniques and subject matter, or to improve in areas where they are rusty. Oil painting has a long history as one of the most flexible but challenging mediums and is often daunting for beginners. Acrylics are new by comparison, offering quick drying, brighter colours and a range of different challenges. "Foundation Course Oils and Acrylics" shows beginners how to exploit the different properties of these unique and distinctive media through a number of techniques and approaches. Experienced artists Rosemary Hignett (acrylics) and Nick Tidnam (oils) explain how to build pictures step-by-step, and how to achieve special effects and finishes to attain successful images. "Foundation Course: Oils and Acrylics" shows how, through practice, anyone can achieve mastery of these wonderful media and produce paintings of which they can be proud.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal introduction to oil and acrylic, 11 Oct 2009
By psm (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
Great reference book to refer back to time and time again. Starts with basics, history of how these two painting mediums came about followed by techniques, when and why to use certain papers, canvases. I personally would recommend this book to someone thinking about taking up oil painting or acrylics and can't make up their mind. What I really liked was the author's recommendation not to spend too much money initially until you get a feel for what you like and then increase your supplies as you go along.
