Publisher's Synopsis
This unique book is a complete course in acrylic painting, built up from key techniques. As you progress through the sections of the book, the author demonstrates each technique with the creation of a mini painting. So by the time you have worked through to the end, you will have an amazing collection of 50 mini paintings-on board, paper, or canvas-that will be a testament to your skill and creativity.The subject matter for these squares varies from abstracts and simple color-mixing exercises, through to figurative subjects: a flower, a sunset, a busy street scene-and many more. These can be mounted, exhibited, or simply collected in a portfolio, or given away as gifts for friends to cherish.If you are coming to acrylics for the first time, or keen to improve your skills and sometimes daunted by the thought of filling a large empty canvas or blank piece of board, this is your ideal guide. Instead, it will free you from creative hang-ups and replace them with an addictive desire to create that next 5-inch square!
