Written for the practicing artist and those new to the medium, the book explains materials, color, techniques, and subject ideas in clear, structured chapters.

Book Overview

The Acrylic Artist’s Bible is divided into four sections. It begins with advice on choosing and using acrylic paints, brushes, palettes, painting knives, and other materials. It then moves to color, covering primary colors, complementary colors, palettes, and mixing methods.

The core of the book presents basic, advanced, and mixed-media techniques. Step-by-step demonstrations show ways to build a painting, use glazes, create texture, and combine acrylic with other media. The final section applies these techniques to landscapes, buildings, still life, and people, with two commissioned tutorials.
