Acrylics

by Patricia Monahan, Wendy Clouse

Capture different shapes in a still life of watering cans and flowerpots, or a seascape view with clouds and rocks. Try a "Boater and Blazer" to master angular and straight folds, or a street scene, self-portrait, and others. Bonus: advice on using acrylics to get the same effects as watercolors and oils. Techniques covered include stippling, scumbing, sponging, wet on wet, masking, and glazing.
