Review by Monstersandcritics.com
Aug 12 “The subtitle says it all – Expert answers to the questions every artist asks. If you want to know something about Acrylic painting, this is definitely the place to start. It is an essential reference book for any artist. Chapters include everything from organising palettes, painting portraits, using perspective, combining acrylics with other media, preparing surfaces for painting. Even little known subjects like how to blend colour optically are described in simple terms; and there are useful demonstrations of techniques such as the broken colour approach, or how to tone a ground for an acrylic painting. Explanations are clear, and understandable even if you do not have a lot of knowledge of the subject. This is an essential book for artists – a reference book that can be kept on the shelf and referred to as needed. It will also provide ideas worth following up.”
