Painting with Acrylics

by Wendy Jelbert

Acrylics are versatile and can be used in many different ways; they also have unique qualities and can be painted on to canvas, paper, wood or board. Using a sequence of inspirational pictures and specially commissioned step-by-step photographs, Wendy Jelbert shows how to use this medium to create pure acrylic, scumbling and impasto effects, blended washes, glazes of colour and more. She takes you through all the stages of creating a painting, from the basic brushwork to final details, illustrating how to capture light and shade, tone and form. Whatever your skill level, you will be able to develop your own style and techniques with this invaluable guide.

I am reading this book now, since I am starting to use my spare time in between writing my new books by paint some picture.

I find this is a good book, prepare step-by-step procedures, knowledge on tools, and coloring techniques, that's so wonderful.

Very helpful. I don't paint "step-by-step" paintings but love all the tips and basic instructions.
