The Encyclopedia of Acrylic Techniques by Hazel Harrison

Acrylics are the most versatile of all painting media and their unique qualities make them ideal for both beginning artists and artists who enjoy experimenting with their work. The Encyclopedia of Acrylic Techniques dispels any doubts artists might have about acrylics (relatively new compared with oils and watercolors) and is divided into an A-Z section and a Themes section.

The A-Z portion of this book is full of colorful photographs, step-by-step demonstrations and guides that will help you learn the techniques of color mixing and special effects such as sgraffito and wax resist. While theThemes portion of the book demonstrates how individual artists master a variety of subjects including portraits, landscapes, animals, still life and fantasy.

The Encyclopedia of Acrylic Techniques encourages acrylic artists to experiment with new painting techniques and hosts a gallery of inspriational acrylic paintings.
