Painting in Acrylic: An essential guide for mastering how to paint beautiful works of art in acrylic (Artist's Library) Paperback – June 1, 2013

Good information and helpful, a great gift for artists who work in acrylic:)!

This is a good book for both the beginner and advanced beginner in acrylics. I especially like the section on how to create certain textures like wood,metal, etc; also the section on perspective. This is definitely a reference I will continually refer back to whenever I hit a difficulty with a painting.

I bought this book and absolutely love it! It is informative and the and the author is able to explain techniques in an easy to understand fashion. I would recommend this to any painter.

great teaching book would buy more

The delivery lasted about more than 3 weeks. The book is very small and thin. It contains about 12 step-by-step demonstrations, which are nice paintings and really instructive, one even showing how to paint waves. A book not only for the beginner.

This seems to be a pared down version of this book. It is like a 7 by 10 size. The info in included is useful for a beginner but the small size hinders using it as a reference while trying out techniques. Get a bigger book save your eyes.

Excellent !!!

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN TO USE ACRYLICS SO THAT THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE WATERCOLORS. Acrylics are not just plastic water colors. If you want to learn how to really paint, using this medium, (so that it looks more like oil paint) take a class with a good instructor. Borrow this book from the library and use the information as a reference--otherwise--just paint in watercolor and skip acrylics.
