Just a few pages in, I noticed that many of the examples looked familiar. I’d already seen them in The Acrylics and Gouache Artist's Handbook: A Practical Guide to Acrylics and Gouache Painting for the Home Artist. Though the two books weren’t identical, there was enough overlap that I decided not to pursue what felt more than a little like a re-read.

Good basic book for using acrylic paints. Pages and pages giving examples of various techniques.

[Anastasia MacKenzie]

Good for very traditional landscape and still life painting, especially if you like at least some level of abstract. Not a lot for more realistic paintings or modern ideas.

[Lauren]

This wasn't really a book read as it was for a family member to read, but I just perused it to see some of the techniques provided. Rather fascinating.

[Denise]

A good quick reference.

[Gardavson]

Nice book with definitions associated with acrylic painting. I would liked to have seen a bit more illustration and beginner friendly terms. I didn't always follow the illustration and the commentary that went with it.

[Amy Smith]

Very Educational on all techniques used with Acrylic Medium.

[Casseroll]

Nice examples of the techniques presented. Colorful and short.
