Painting in Acrylic: An essential guide for mastering how to paint beautiful works of art in acrylic (Artist's Library)

This is a good book for both the beginner and advanced beginner in acrylics. I especially like the section on how to create certain textures like wood,metal, etc; also the section on perspective. This is definitely a reference I will continually refer back to whenever I hit a difficulty with a painting.

The delivery lasted about more than 3 weeks. The book is very small and thin. It contains about 12 step-by-step demonstrations, which are nice paintings and really instructive, one even showing how to paint waves. A book not only for the beginner.

great teaching book would buy more

This book might be for the lowest level of amature hobbyist, but that is being generous. It is totally void of any real classical painting techniques and sets the reader up for failure in the future. It's basically Bob Ross in acrylics, with a happy little rock and a happy little mountain. There are far better books on Acrylics that teach you professional applications that will serve you better as you advance beyond beginner.

Lacking on detail.

I bought this book and absolutely love it! It is informative and the and the author is able to explain techniques in an easy to understand fashion. I would recommend this to any painter.

Very good book on learning about acrylics. Great for beginners.

Good things come in small packages... the saying applies to this book. Loaded with good information about numerous painting techniques.

Good teaching, interesting styles gets you looking for your brushes

Only really a short pamphlet rather than the book I expected but good information succinctly given. Good for the basics.

This is a good book for a beginner, which I am. The author gives clear, easy to follow instructions and the illustrations are quite inspiring. Well worth ordering unless you are an experienced painter in acrylics.

great book
