Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner by Charles Evans
The book Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner will teach those who have always wanted to paint but lacked the confidence, and turn them into skilled artists who understand acrylics and how to work with them. This comprehensive course covers landscape painting with acrylic mediums and is written by one of the UK’s leading painters Charles Evans. Inside you will find easy to understand techniques and an engaging writing style that helps to make acrylic painting more achievable and within anyone’s grasp. The book begins with priceless advice for the beginner, including topics like painting, composition, easy perspective, light and shade, colour and how to use acrylics for different painting styles. There are in total six complete step-by-step projects that will teach you to paint, ranging from basic skies to snowy landscapes with horses that are all supported and expounded by additional exercises and information. This will allow artists to practice the things they have read to produce six striking paintings of their own in different styles and techniques.
