Book Description:
Liberate Your Creativity With Acrylic Paints!

Acrylic Revolution is your essential, all-in-one guide for acrylic painting techniques and more. It features over 101 ways to break through the boundaries of conventional painting and re-define the creative potential of this all-purpose medium.

Every page provides insight on how to use acrylic paint in ways you never thought possible to create stunning visual effects and textures. Ten complete sections detail a range of empowering applications, including how to:
  • Prepare and paint on virtually any surface
  • Create textures of all kinds
  • Work with transfers, collage, resists and mixed media
  • Achieve innovative stenciling and line work
  • Customize your paint to adjust thickness, transparency and drying time
  • Simulate other mediums, such as oil, tempera or watercolor
  • Create faux finishes, magical effects, sheens and more
To give you additional insight and inspiration, this book features a gallery of finished works by fellow painting revolutionaries that blend various acrylic techniques to create amazing effects. You'll also find practical advice that covers the basics and beyond--from selecting materials and cleaning your brushes to finishing and preserving your artwork. There's even a complete glossary of terms for fast and easy referencing.

Pick up a brush and start your own acrylic revolution today!

Use the techniques in this book to free your creative spirit and create the paintings you've always dreamed of.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - glossary of information
I took a demo from Nancy, and then a one day workshop..she is very good at imparting information, and showing samples. The book is an encyclopedia of great and useful information about the products she uses in her work. It is well laid out, easy to use with the spiral binding, and has examples of each technique that ought to be easy to grasp by even a novice.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT Book!
I'm a student and need specific, detailed instruction on acrylic painting techniques, and this book provides them. A friend -- an established artist -- recommended this book to me, and she wasn't wrong.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yes! Very happy with this book!
I bought this book thinking, "Yeah, right, like I need to see another tips book that tells me not to eat paint." In other words I didn't think there would be one page worth reading. But I tell the world right now there is enough in this book to keep me busy exploring and experimenting for a year or more!
Also, I want to praise who ever made the decision about the binding on this book! This book lays open flat in the studio -- no more struggle! I think all art books of this type should be bound ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - New ways with acrylics
What a wonderful book. So many new ways to use acrylic paints with easy to follow step by step instructions for the new and accomplished artist. Not just a book about painting but about clever and often surprising things to do with acrylic paints. You will never be bored!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Painting
Great! Was a gift for my Father who just took up painting at the age of 74. He loves it!
