Book Reviews of The Acrylic Painter's Book of Styles and Techniques
Book Review: Great for a beginner - very inspiring!
Summary: 5 Stars
I, living in Utah with all of the arches, loved chapter 2 showing the brillitant designs with the flat opaque colors by Mary Sweet. I think this will be a simple, yet beautiful, way to begin my painting adventure because she laid out - step by step - instructions on how to paint with her technique. I have a photo of an arch which I have already climbed. I am looking forward to this being my first painting, and appreciate all of the different artist idea's which were presented in this book. I ordered three artists books at the same time and this is the book which I keep going back to. I will eventually try all of the techniques - when I become a better painter!

Summary of The Acrylic Painter's Book of Styles and Techniques
New techniques from the masters of the medium show artists how to experiment with acrylics and create better paintings. Famous for their versatility, acrylics can be used right from the tube to look like oils, be thinned with water and used like traditional watercolors, and enhanced with unique techniques for dramatic results. Readers will benefit from the step-by-step versatile techniques of these seven outstanding acrylic painters. Joesph Orr's textural techniques for enhancing country scenes; Mary Sweet's formula for painting colorful outdoor scenes; Barbara Buer's dramatic still lifes, as transparent as watercolors; William Hook's breathtaking vistas achieve pulsating color; Lisa Buck-Goldstein's careful planning produces lively results; Michael Nevin's multiple thin glazes build luminosity in scenes; Louise Cadillac's experimental techniques for creating expressive abstracts; In 28 step-by-step demonstrations, they show new techniques for mastering acrylic's many faces - from the look of highly controlled transparent watercolor to abstract expressionism, and everything in between.Painting Books
