Book excerpt: Here's all the information you need to begin painting with acrylics--the most exciting, versatile medium available. The basic techniques are easy--stippling, blending, glazing, masking, and wet-in-wet. Over a dozen mini-demos illustrate how to paint flowers, clouds, shadows, water and more! You'll soon be creating some extraordinary paintings. Author Jacqueline Penney will show you how, with a relaxed, informative style that transports you from the shores of a dune-swept beach to a tropical lagoon. Try all five of her complete, step-by-step demonstrations, including a flower-covered mountainside, sand dunes and sailboats, a forest of spruce trees and ferns, a tranquil island hideaway and a mist-shrouded ocean. You'll find that painting with acrylics is easy--and extraordinary!
