Description
"Acrylic Landscapes in a Weekend" will have you painting in no time, with eight cleverly-constructed projects that can each be completed in just one weekend. You can discover the unique versatility and accessibility of acrylics - they can be used as watercolours on paper and as oil on canvas. Each of the projects features simple yet ingenious exercises to try on Saturday, and full step-by-step instructions for painting a finished picture on Sunday. It includes an insight into artist's materials, hot tips and gallery exercises to take things further. Versatile and inexpensive, acrylics are increasingly popular and "Acrylic Landscapes in a Weekend" is perfect for both beginners and improvers.
