Description I
Acrylics are easy to master and extremely versatile. Paint can be applied thick like oils, or in washes like watercolour. Also, techniques can N
be mixed to create unusual and different effects. Using a range of brushes, Terry explores all these different techniques showing how to
capture atmosphere, texture and detail . He paints a selection of beautiful landscapes, seascapes and buildings with ease, showing how to
apply colour to produce stunning pictures of atmospheric skies, mist covered rivers, vibrant fields of flowers, rustic buildings, calm F
estuaries and more.
With many hot tips and a wealth of practical advice, Terry presents an inspiring sequence of step-by-step demonstrations which aim to O
build up skills and encourage the artist to create their own original paintings.

Reviews
Issue 26, 2005 M
Acrylic paint is a very versatile medium and Terry Harrison explores it to the full in this book. Clear explanations, a wide range of subject
matter and clever use of techniques (like using old credit cards to paint rocks) enables the reader to quickly come to terms with the
potential of acrylics. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced artist, you won't fail to be captivated by this book and learn A
something from it. He deals with water, sky, trees, foliage, figures, buildings - all you could want. An excellent buy.
