A Complete Course in Ten Lessons
By Jenny Rodwell. Acrylic is an extremely versatile, very popular medium. This book proves that acrylic colors can be used instead of watercolor, oil, or gouache, sharing many of their advantages but few of their drawbacks. Rodwell provides ten lessons, ranging from basic colors, textures, still lifes, and landscapes to collage.
Designed for the hesitant beginner, these lessons begin with an outline drawing to be used as a guide. Finished paintings are fairly rudimentary and approachable. Step-by-step stages reveal the whole process in detail and helpful hints and tips add to the wealth of information provided. This is a solid first book for work in acrylics.
