colours she uses. The five inspirational projects included in the book use a variety of different techniques that once practised will be useful
for future artworks. They are very easy to follow as Wendy clearly explains and illustrates each step. Each one focusses on a particular A
element of Venice such as the canals and reflections and the gondolas. These illustrations truly embody the spirit of Venice as we think of
it, and the student will create a painting to be proud of. Having completed the book the student will have a good grounding in how to
use acrylics in a soft and loose way.An inspiring book for any artist, containing useful information for painting in acrylics in a subtle way T
with some excellent demonstration outlines.
